There's no issue driving the car in cold/wet conditions on all seasons, just drive gently/slower if the weather is bad and avoid icy conditions (which would be a problem with FWD/AWD too). Modern traction/stability control is so good it'll prevent you from losing control unless you're driving...

I cross shopped both the Emira and the Z06 before I bought the Supra. They're unique and I think they look gorgeous. They also have phenomenal steering feel due to using a hydraulic steering rack but you are paying quite a bit more for similar performance to the Supra. The same could be said...

I know you did, I wasn't being very clear but I was generally addressing anyone that can't do the basic task of raising their car (including those whose living situation doesn't allow it) should just take it to a shop. I'm not talking about you specifically. This forum serves as a knowledge...

I agree we've gone off topic but so I'll drop it after this. If putting your car on jack stands is too hard for you then take it to a shop. The problem with your suggestion to check using high rpm/aggressive downshifts is that it won't even prove the issue is with the synchros if the issue is...

It's a really easy job, if you're considering yourself a DIYer on your car it's about as simple as it gets. A lot of us considering having jacks and stands (also stand adapters for these cars) pretty much a given if someone works on their own car unless they have quickjacks or a lift...

My car also has a stock clutch and 3rd to 2nd downshifts have felt a bit harder with rev matching on. Might just be how this car is. I've also rebled the clutch twice and it did help the first time a bit.

I got Pagid one piece rotors from rock auto but they weigh the same as the oem 2 piece rotors. I went through my first set pretty quickly so I'm looking for value rather than potential weight savings although there isn't any penalty either.

I had this issue with the PMU CRs and it was from using the OE rotors that had stock pad material on them. The forum said to bed them again and again and that didn't help. Only when I got new rotors entirely did it get better.

I just went though the exercise of clearance on my S2000 for brakes, fender and suspension so my head is probably still in that space.

Here's the 275/18/35 RT660s on the 18X10 wheel. It's definitely a bit wider than the wheel but felt fine on track. I might go a size narrower if I use these tires again. Here's a pic of the fender liner rubbing (probably mostly turn 2 at Thunderhill East): And a bonus shot of the S2K with...

Fender is fine, although I hit the plastic inner liner on compression. I'll share in the pics. The issue is the strut perch. I actually have an S2000 I track as well that I just changed the suspension/wheels/brakes on, but as Razorlab said it's not an issue on the Macpherson struts the Supra has.

I'll take a picture of the tires on the wheels off the car tomorrow. Yup stock suspension. I do have lower control arms with lower camber (-3 in the front) so it might be different with stock camber, but I think the negative camber might actually make the clearance worse. I'm not sure though.

I run 18x10 ET30 Apex wheels as my track wheels with 275/35/18 RT660 tires. The RT660s run about a size wide and I ran into clearance issues on the front spring perch just barely rubbing and the plastic front upper fender liner was ground up from the tire hitting it on hard compression. I...

I've been happy with them, Verkline definitely makes quality parts. I didn't track the car before I put the arms on so I can't speak too much on the performance side other than spirited driving but to be honest I didn't notice any difference in ride quality or feel after I changed them. They...

I would add that V730s are not good in the wet, particularly after some wear as the outer shoulder turns basically into a slick. They're a great value for speed and durability otherwise. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/articles/track-tire-buyers-guide/ is a great resource although I don't...

Thanks, that's helpful I actually just ordered one myself. I also found this video that was just posted that shows the process for anyone interested.

Curious how the feel changed (outside of the throw distance) and how the install was. I might hop on this myself.

If you reused your rotors with a different pad material previously you'll keep getting shudder. I ended up needing a new set of rotors to bed in the club racers before I got them to work properly.

Both the Clutch Master's kit and PTB (with upgraded sinter disks) are rated for around 1000 ft/lbs of torque so the disc/clamping seem relatively similar and should be plenty durable unless you're running some insane power figures. Unfortunately as these products are fairly new and the number...
