New PB at Pitt Race - 1:58.71

[rwense]

Just wanted to share my new PB at Pitt Race full course - 1:58.71! Definitely more time in it as the car currently sits. Feels pretty good when a Supra on stock power runs 2 seconds faster than a handful of GT4s and some 911s

Build list is in the description, TL;DR stock power, HKS Springs, Nankang CRS, Recaro Pole Position

Good stuff Evan!

Pitt Race is on my short list of tracks I'd like to drive on that are relatively close to me. Fun watching you run it in a Supra.

I need better seats lol.

GOLLY. Awesome job. Same mods as me sans seat and springs. How do the HKS feel on track? Too soft I've heard.

Thanks man! I can 100% recommend Pitt race, its a fantastic track. facilities are great, the track surface itself is really smooth, and the elevation change is really fun. Lmk if you are ever up my way, we'll have to meet up!

Also dude, seats changed my world I no longer have neck pain from craning my neck forward due to the OEM headrest and I can actually commit to the throttle through the S's and such since I dont need to brace myself. Highly recommend a Recaro Pole Position whether its the FIA or ABE version. Ive sat in both and at least for my frame (5'9", 165lbs) it fits really well. Little tip though, pick up a $10 amazon inflatable lumbar pillow, it helps a lot.

Thanks dude! Honestly this is the first car I've actually tracked seriously with, so as I'm pushing more and more I am definitely finding them to be a bit too soft. I imagine when I add a wing and splitter it'll only get worse. But tbh if you are new to tracking or want a forgiving road/track set, they're pretty great!

I'll be going to a set of Ohlins R&T over the winter though!

I'm holding out for Ohlins at a minimum. There was a set of HKS SP IVs in the for sale section that I slept on. They sold when I was ready to purchase :/

Ugh that sucks, yeah in hindsight I would have gone to Ohlins to begin with, but I also didnt want to start shoveling a butt load of money at the car until I figured out what it needed. Super excited to try them out though!

Awesome, kudos to you and the Supra!

BTW, what sizes were you running on the CRS? Square or staggered?

Nice! It's amazing how much of a difference a seat makes, right?

I wish I could drive Pitt Race but it's 7 hours from me, not sure why @decodeddiesel is saying it's relatively close to him, he is further east than I am, lmao!

Thanks man! And yeah it's wild!

Speaking of 7hrs, I drove around that to see gridlife up at Limerock. Hopefully sometime next year I can make my way up there and drive it! I keep seeing videos from you a Peter and it seems fun. Simple, but fun. That and Club motorsports are on the list.
