Opinion on Track Build

[HHM212]

Hello!!

Since i track my supra on regular basis i decided to start updgrade the car to get the most out of it and i wanted to start with phasis since i dont have alot of experience and i started to put a list which i attached below.

i welcome and recommendation or directions when it comes to the build.


Thank you,

By "heat exchanger" do you mean the one at the front of the car, or the intake manifold?

If you mean the one at the front of the car, it's a waste of cash. You want a manifold for consistent IATs.

Yes i meant the one at the front, thanks for the tip.

Horn replacement
You forgot the side mirror wind deflectors.

Pretty good list.
I suppose aero is phase 2?
No performance mods right.
Auto or manual on track? Could get bigger more tactile flappy shift paddles magnetic..

Are tires implied?

Yeah forgot about the side mirrors.

Phase 2 will be the power upgrade Stage 2+, Suspension & Aero kit

I'm planning to get a steering wheel and carbon fiber paddels soon

Yes, tires are already there.

Are you having brake issues? I've run in 100° heart and never had any fade.

Change out your oil for thicker viscosity oil. @FLtrackdays might have the most comparable temperatures to you in the Emirates (albeit way more humid), and probably has the best reference point.

Probably also worth doing stainless steel brake lines and some DOT4 brake fluid since you're doing pads and the ducts.

I've got the Verus brake master cylinder brace installed as well for better brake feel, but that's up to you.

If the car on stock tune/map, then you only need to upgrade your engine oil (5w-30) and your brake fluid/brake pads. For cooling an upgraded intake manifold is more than enough and for handling you can start with lowering springs to gain more camber for better grip and tire life.

I would suggest to start upgrading other parts based on the car feedback on track.

If you are looking at effective modifications vs rumor/cost out of your pocket, shoot me a PM. Internet rumor can cost you a fortune with no result. I (and a select few others) can give you my opinion based on experience.
P.S. I am a minimalist and only do stuff when my car needs it and only If necessary go faster. I do not have the luxury of throwing stuff on the car just because it's cool

Great list & love those mods! With Roman brake wise. Inexpensive and worth it if you’re going to track a lot. Like Jason said, only add what you have to - to have fun! You’ll find out quickly what you need as you get faster. This car is quite capable.

Have you tracked her yet?

Also, fully agree with Jason, kaj, if tracking, doing one thing at a time. Otherwise it’s hard to narrow down any issue you’re having. So go slow brother and hold off on anything else. See how those parts you already have feel. More time on track = best mod ever. I still like your initial list. Solid choices and… I just got a horn - can’t wait to get that sucker put in. Not needed for track. But damn… hold your ears if you have to use the OEM one

Nope, no issues its just a recommendation from the performance workshop i’m willing to do the car with.

Thanks for the tips, regarding the engine oil, i heard there’s a specific Oil to go with otherwise it might harm the engine, in all cases i will check if these fluids are available locally otherwise i will order them

I appreciate the input bro
