Post 6/2020 ECU unlocked in US

[BadOne]

I'm willing to put my $500 pads up against a set of $1,000 pads, any day.

I wonder if the Verus brake cooling kit helps more than more expensive pads.

Surely someone has some data by now. From what I'm seeing, our cars have REALLY good cooling and, unless you have a million HP, it seems a good pad and fluid is all the cars need. I've been under my car and am very impressed with what Toyota has done. One of the reasons I bought this car is that it needs nothing other than a few parts that bolt on. I don't have to engineer and fab stuff to make it work better. I got that out of my system with my other car haha. It's nice dialing back the involvement and just driving.

Again, fuck all the way off with this opinion of yours. The Nurburgring isn't the end all be all of tracks and frankly there are plenty of cars that do well there that suck at other tracks...being fast/slow around the ring means exactly that, it's fast/slow around the ring.

Name a track where near-stock supras are killing NA flat 6 cylinder Porsches

1. Arch of mulege circuit
2. Volcan sprint
3. Castillo del mar

to name a few….

I've literally already done this when with the Nurburgring. There are NA flat 6 cylinder Porsches running slower times than a 7:41 around the ring.

But just to oblige you:

Willow Springs - Streets of Willow

This is about Tuning The ecu...... not track times. Make a separate thread for that.

Both are pro drivers…

Was the GT3 RS’s lap done in the rain ?

Yeah, I don't have access to a bunch of lap times from non-pro drivers, but it's not necessary to prove the point, that the Supra is very much a capable track car.

I'm not sure if the GT3's lap was in the rain, normally on that site wet laps are annotated with a "w", so my initial thoughts are that it was a dry lap.


As far as the ECU piece, there hasn't been any updates on that front in months and it doesn't appear that there will be any updates for many more months...bummer.

We can only talk about ECUs not being unlocked for so long.

I think all those cars on the list have tuned ECUs does that count

Slower tracks sure, but doubt they'll handle >140mph braking every 30-45 seconds for half an hour. Stock pads were not ideal (but still usable) on fast tracks, on slower more technical circuits they're fine, totally agree.

There's no way it cost

There's no way it costs $600 to ship from DHL.....Damn
I've used FedEx to ship to Malaysia and it costs around $100.

???? My quote doesn't state anything about shipping?

I think he was looking at the zrk quote in your post.

$300/each way, over night. spend more to minimize time in transit to minimize risk. You can't add shippers insurance to these because customs, this is the next best line of defense.

The Supra is « not » made for a track at all. These are straight line roll race style cars

LOL biggest load of horseshit I've read on this site in a minute...!

I can't tell if poor sarcasm or just sheer ignorance.. The Supra is fantastic on track right out of the box with just an alignment. It will run 20 minute sessions in the heat all day every day without flinching; thermal management is impressive. Pads, fluid and a decent tire and it punches WAY above its weight class.


Boring as hell on the drag strip.. Stomp gas and hold the wheel street. Weeeeee....
