Get your car onto a drive-on lift, loosen all the control arm and link bolts, and then retorque. The bushings are under tension and need to be reset at ride height. Then redo the wheel alignment as your ride height will very likely change after resetting the bushing. Also make sure the springs...

That is very little rear toe in, might be pretty sensitive to road crowns and the rear would be pretty "lively" when you autocross esp during turn in. See how you feel first maybe you like that kind of handling characteristic. One positive thing with little rear toe is slightly better fuel...

Did any of you guys order directly from Alea? I'm in Canada and there aren't any installers/dealers I can go through

Yup that's definitely a B58 with OPF. Suspension does look significantly stiffer.

I wonder if there's a differences in cooling between GT and GTS models, they seem to get the 285kw(382hp) motors like NA so it's pretty weird they don't have the aux rad considering how hot it can get there.

Do you guys see any access in iStep to fine tune the adaptive damper settings?

A TOM's wing does NOT make it a TOM's Supra. It could be as literal as what you see, a Fuji Speedway hotel display car, same with the blue MK3 JGT later in the film, it doesn't mean we are getting another Supra race car. It's just to give a vibe of high end living on a weekend with a Supra and...

Remap? I don't see that being very attainable, 382hp is the highest output from a non mild hybrid B58 available. They're not gonna go thru all the trouble of emissions and economy testing just for a Supra. In the slim chance of using a S58 there could be a power bump. ZF8 for sure, 6MT maybe...

Green label Autoglym Interior shampoo is my first choice by a slight edge over yellow Chemical guys interior cleaner and blue Adam's interior detailer. They are all close imo and I get whichever one of these are on sale, the slight edge is cuz it's the most effortless out of the three to remove...

Car was smoking and still running 8.8, great potential! Better luck next year!

With P3 you can set it to 500rpm before where you want to shift then you have time to react to it. The same can be said about the sequential lights

I have P3 Gauge on my MK4 Jetta it flashes regardless of what screen it's on, I keep mine at coolant temp and it flashes at the shift light rpm i set it at. Mine is 11 years old tho so idk if that makes a difference

Thanks for the detailed info! I've always thought about the 374 option as I really wanted a G20 M340i with track pack in the past and thought they would work on the Supra. If they had more pad options it would be one of my first mods for the track. In terms of brake balance, for those...

Tell them that's not how it works, get what they said in writing through email. Is the warranty with Toyota or the dealer? If it's Toyota, get the evidence in writing, replace the tire yourself with a new one and then forward the bill and evidence to Toyota to let them reimburse you. If it's the...

They must correct their mistake, it's a safety concern, tell them they're not remotely the same tire, one is a high performance summer tire, one is an all season. And the whole point of tire warranty is to replace it with the right tire... If they're still being dense, let them know they'll be...

what i suspect is that the wheel hub has relatively small contact area to the backside of the rotor compared to some other cars with more hub material. This plus the very fine looking surface finish (nearly polished looking) on the aluminum rotor hub doesn't have enough friction, and hence not...

Motorsport engineer background, have been working as a failure analysis engineer in an OEM level alternative fuel systems/ engine development company. It's not as interesting as being in the UK motorsport engineering companies but it pays the bills and allows me to own a Supra which sure beats...

Great driving! How do you like the hks springs vs stock springs on the track? Any places where you feel the damping is under or overdamped? Do you have any rubbing issues? Did you skip the front splitter at the time due to spring rate?

Are you old enough to get Hagerty insurance? The do declared value policies, I have it on my overly expensive 20 year old Jetta with 340k km on it and the price is less than 2x of a normal policy without comprehensive. On a side topic, if you are going with a normal company instead it might...

I just read thru the entire 25 page progress on your car, I love it! Really appreciate you documenting everything about track events and what you have experimented with, and those new seats are awesome. As a motorsport engineer I'm a sucker for data and precision, I love the data setup you have...
