Race Tracking Your Supra - Information exchange

Edit: nm on review of ohlins, just saw your other post.

On another note, has anyone ever tired Angelwings with your factory seats? I’m going to give them a try in addition to a seatbelt locker to cinch me in.

Good idea but, I don’t know how anyone could get into and out of a Supra with those installed.

lmao, didn’t think about that. It’s arriving tomorrow, along with a cheap Amazon seatbelt locker. Will report back!

Did you really spend $200 on those things?

 

[Nocturnal LE]

Ehh small connivence fee and saves me a trip to Home Depot

Anybody running Gridlife track battle this weekend at CMP?

Hey fellow track / autox nuts. I want to run in BS. I’m looking at a set of wheels (Staggered setup) Koenig Hypergrams 18x9.5 squared on stock tire setup (size wise). Thoughts, concerns, advice. I am new to autox on this platform and just trying to find what works and doesn’t works for others. Much appreciated.

That‘s awesome! Lemme know how it goes… and the seatbelt locker. I usually scoot my seat all the way back, force the pre tensioners to grab, then ease my seat back up to an incredibly tight position. If the seatbelt lockers work better than my method, I’m all in. Also, a fellow Supra friend told me about using a knee pad, such as one you can find on Amazon for floor installation. That works well to keep my left knee from looking like a bruised Chiquita banana.

A proper race seats & 5/6 point harness would be ideal. But I love my beautiful OEM red seats. I worked so hard to find them w/ my phantom grey exterior. Attempting to find my limit between weekend warrior and all out race car, this go round… ? I ruined my S2K (my wife says). And ultimately had to sell her ?. The S2000 was gutted, roll cage, AIM data logger, gauges, hard top, catless, 5 point harness, detachable light bar, so badass… however no chance of talking my way out of a ticket if caught on the street ?

I bought their wheels thanks to this guide. Could have bought any wheels but I loved all the work they put into their website & guide. They are also on this forum for help.

I’m actually pretty impressed! Great options for those with stock seats. Padding is firm, material is good, and the rubber in the middle is non-slip.

If those also had drink holders they would be epic.

You're saying both staggered and square so I'm gonna ignore deciphering exactly what you mean and tell you what you need. You have to keep the same OEM width in front and back. I tried to find Konig Hypergrams in our spec but wasn't finding rears at 18x10.5. You'll want to go with Enkei GTC02 in our specs 18x9.5 and 18x10.5. I suppose you could get the Hypergrams for the front to save some money. You are only allowed +/- 7mm on offset from OEM wheels as well. For tires run the Bridgestone RE-71RS 275/35 in the front and 295/35 in the rear. Front sway bar is 100% needed and I'd highly recommend the Eibach bar.

Let us know how it is after a track day! Also really interested in the seat belt lock things. If they really work and a link for them. Thank! ?

Underneath the GT4 for anyone interested. Looks like they run the M transmission pan.

I thought stock widths were 9 and 10?

I thought I remembered reading somewhere that the listed specs on public sites were wrong and actual measurements were different. I could be wrong though and confusing it with the commonly ordered TE37 specs, I need to go measure.
