a Japanese pro driver describes it at 22:17
he's a pro driver so i guess pinpointing that the "rear brakes had been activated" is accurate. he then does a "tail wagging the dog" kinda motion, quite like how motor trend described it. Seems like a traction control/brake vectoring issue (as in a...
I'll need to see the toe curve to be convinced that bumpster is the culprit. JackieDing posted a story on his Instagram that his shop is measuring it, i hope he publishes the whole thing. because; its a 5 way multilink, everything affects everything when the 5 arms are moving.
Keep in mind that...
not sure if am seeing this correctly, but seems like It connects to the lower trunk area rather than the subframe, so I imply it's there to increase the convertible's bending rigidity; rendering less rattles and squeaks from the trunk I guess. the supra has a fat roof, so It doesn't need that...
If I may ask, Why do you want them? If your goal is to reduce roll, use higher spring rates and shocks valved correctly for that rates, that's the actual way to reduce roll. Sway bars should only be used as "seasoning" for the final tune of the suspension behaviour.
Sway bars are "a see-saw"...
On the heavy side, by design. Since they build around FormulaD regulations and with that power level they need wide tires. e.g. 295mm, requires 3000-3100 lbs according to FDs tire rules.
Dunno how heavy is this build, tbh. But Dai Yoshiharas BRZ was *heavier* than the stock BRZ for the same...
IIRC, the GazooRacing development pro driver didn't like how the car understeered at the limit with the braces on. If I understood Tada-san correctly, It's not that they're needed from a torsional rigidity pov, rather it would create more rigid front bias vs the rear with the current...
living with the Getrag DCT in my evo x, with all the ups and downs, the notchiness and "recommendations" how to take care of it in them getrag technical documentation...i would take the slower, but bulletproof ZF8 for a daily supra tbh. i'm
not saying that the ZF DCT would have the same...
it's not about "lying" or anything of such. Manufacturers advertise the SAE numbers, and SAE basically heats soaks the car, dyno'ing it multiple times, gradually, then converges onto an HP/TQ figure. In other words, the C8 puts out 495HP at the worst-case scenario
I imply this is the case with...
Z4 is "sportier" ?? is he trying to say its "stiffer" sprung? because i think it is so, given than it has less rigidity rendered by the chopped roof.
am also surprised that the Z4 has a different steering rack!
