Started off 2022 with a track day at Laguna! Might be my last one until they complete work on repaving the track (maybe this year according to news articles), as the conditions continue to worsen and I personally would like to start getting to know my actual home track, Sonoma Raceway.
The only...
Judging by the lack of information I've found in forums and in groups for the Supra, I wanted to ask if anyone else has broken their OEM axles on stock power.
A related post that is somewhat helpful: https://www.supramkv.com/threads/broken-axle-after-mods.9168/
My axle failed similar to the one...
First wet track day in the books! I am not eager to do it again but found it a valuable experience.
I made a last minute decision to change my Yokohama Apex V601 tires out for a set of Yokohama Advan A052 (factory sizing), because my rears were between 1/32" to 3/32" and I knew it would be a wet...
Yesterday wraps up 3 events I've attended using the Yokohama Apex V601 tires and they're still holding up.
If you're interested in reading here are the threads for Laguna and Sonoma HPDE days.
I don't drive my Supra on the street much and have put ~2,000 street miles on the tires but I tend...
Originally I was booked for the free track day with NASA via Toyota/GR. That got cancelled due to the open recall - which I actually addressed a few days prior to the event. I had emailed NASA if they'd let me run if I paid - they said yes, and I signed up for HPDE 3; originally I was assigned...
Punched in my VIN on both the NHTSA and Toyota Recall sites and I have two outstanding recalls on my 2021 Supra.
Guess they're going to really lock down the ECUs now! ;)

Went back to Laguna!
Car's got some SPL FLCAs and Caster bearings now. Running -2.5 camber F and -2.1 camber R.
Decided to give the V601s a shot - stock sizes on the factory rims. Drove the tires around for ~300 miles before hitting the track - they're like an inbetween PSS/PS4s for NVH and...
**Update**
Thanks to forum member @Msoupe - the shop fixed the mistake and I'm back in business.
The 6 spacers included with the FLCAs (3 for each side), are only to be used as needed, if the car is lowered. Since my car was is not lowered, no spacers should be used. SPL designed the part to...
Was curious to see what I could see through the oil filler cap. I put my phone on the engine cover and snapped a photo. I would appreciate anyone willing to snap and share.
I noticed wavy lines on the camshaft. I know there are engine experts here but also this is fairly easy to photograph...
The new BMW M cars are equipped with a custom PS4S (similar to the PSS star spec we have on the Supra and various older BMWs).
There's quite a few changes they made to the PS4S that would make it a compelling tire to use on the Supra and they do have it in our factory sizes.
I might give these a...
Thanks to folks in this thread for being positive and open with sharing experiences and knowledge.
Finished my first HPDE in the Supra and was really impressed with what it could do.
Changes to my car from factory:
CSG CP brake pads
ZL1 Additions rock guards
Satin PPF
Sport Plus mode (via...
**Edit - thanks for those who responded and connected with me directly. I have removed the contents of this post and the thread can be deleted. Love the community here!**
I've appreciated the knowledge shared by members on this forum about brake pads within threads covering other topics.
My local tracks are Sonoma Raceway, Laguna Seca, Thunderhill. I have attended 5 HPDE events between a BRZ and Golf R. I care about lap times as a measure of improvement, but I'm...
