Just commenting on my experience, but I wouldnāt get an APR wing again. I bought the GTC-500 and it looks fabulous at first, but in my case the finish got beaten to hell and it looked awful after about a year. I do track my car a lot, so maybe itās more vulnerable to stone chips than a car which...
Thanks very much guys, Iām going to do some research on the way forward and see what can be done if a new engine is going to be cost prohibitive. I appreciate the feedback.
I here what youāre saying about diagnosing the problem, but Iāve been told by a couple of people I trust that one youāve got a lot of metal inside the engine it doesnāt really matter what the issue was, the result is going to be the same: replace the engine. I could certainly pay to have it done...
Iāve recently wrecked the engine on my 2020 Supra (two port) and am in need of another one.
Before anyone asks, the oil pressure light came on and though I pulled over as soon as I could safely do it, the damage was done. when the oil was drained it was very āglitteryā. My mechanic, who I trust...
I also upgraded the fluid and anyone tracking their car should. Iāve used Motul, Castrol and now Endless fluid, but if thereās a difference I canāt tell.
Iāve used R10/R12 on the rear brakes, but Iāve been using the R16 for my last few cars that Iāve tracked (C7 Vette and Giulia Quad, as well...
The stock brakes on this car are a major disappointment. I track my car pretty regularly and even with G-Loc R16s the brakes were not nearly as impressive as they should be. AP Racing (who has a great reputation) does make a BBK for this car, but itās very expensive and I just couldnāt justify...
There is always a reason to wait. Next yearās car, iPhone, mattress, etc. will all be better/different/more refined versions of whatās out this year. I knew that when I bought my A90 and the A91 specs had already been announced, but Iāve had a couple of the best summers ever in that car and Iām...
Iāve made a significant number of changes to the car that have made improvements over the stock car, but if I had to pick the most substantial upgrade itās got to be the front brake calipers. I really found the stock brakes pretty disappointing, even with much more aggressive pads, but I bought...
I didnāt bother following up with anyone other than my local tuner. I couldnāt find anyone else who seemed to be having the same problem with this tune at the time, so I assumed it was a cooling issue. I threw some money at it in the form of Koyo rads and a meth injection system which I just ran...
So, hereās the latest and I apologize for not posting this at the end of last summer.
I was continuing to have issues at each track day until my tuner reached out to me and told me there was potentially some sort of fuel shut-off issue, but if I just ran with a full tank all the time I shouldnāt...
Iām honestly not sure. I havenāt had the chance to log anything at the track and I obviously canāt reproduce these issues at home. Iām going again in a couple of weeks and will get it done at that point. Thereās lots of good advice here that Iām grateful for and appreciate, but I clearly just...
I know heat seems like the obvious culprit, but the temps never really got that high. Iāve got a heat exchanger in the mail and I have a guy who is willing to fabricate an intercooler, however itās getting hard to convince my wife that I need to drop off the car every week for an oil change. We...
Iāve sent an email to my tuner to see if theyāve had any other complaints and whether they have a solution in mind. I may also give Ecutek a look. I just wanted the easiest way to make some extra horsepower for the track, but when you pay 100% to be there and only get to drive for 25-50% of the...
I also posted this under the ECU thread, so Iām hoping someone (maybe BootMod themselves) will chime in with something. I was comfortable effectively voiding my warranty because BM3 has a good reputation, but Iāll admit to being concerned/irritated at the moment.
*I have posted this under the track thread as well, but I thought this may be another spot to get some advice. Apologies for spamming the forum.
It was a gorgeous 90 degree day at CTMP just outside Toronto yesterday, and being at the track is always a blast. That said, Iāve had trouble the...
