Race Tracking Your Supra - Information exchange

Why not fix the chip before it turns into a crack?

I will, but literally every single chip I've had repaired eventually turned into a crack.

Also my windshield has 30k on it already so it's pretty pocked up. Honestly I'm shocked it lasted as long as it did without chipping or cracking.

Yes they do. I picked up my 2023 in February and they sent me an email about 2 weeks later about my free track day/NASA membership. You only have a year to do it from the purchase date of your car, so you may want to look into it sooner rather than later.

I'm still bummed out that I missed out on mine, but I had a health issue that precluded me from any track driving in 2021 and I missed my window.

I would have loved to have a Supra "expert" driving coach walking me through the finer points of the car on track.

I live in New England, but honestly I would seriously consider a road trip to take you up on your invite. That's very kind and generous of you to offer Sir!

That’s practically worth the drive from FL ? I’d love to get some free Rock instruction. Been ages since I’ve been to ViR. What a fantastic track!

Just to be clear: my home track is Dominion Raceway. 2 mile technical course. I have learned a LOT there. Open offer to any forum member. we have 40 club days a year! which is unheard of. House is 11 miles from track, there is a hotel onsite though too.

If anyone wants to plan a VIR meet up I am all about that too!

Just checked it out. Looks like a great track to me.

The temp change in the garage over night must have made it start cracking.

Yes, this is what living in AZ feels like. You walk out and on your way to work your like WTF did that come from.

Hey @Todday1 I had previously talked to you at AMP at one of the Nasa events. Did you say you made your own front splitter? If so what brackets are you using? Thinking I want to make an attempt to fab one up. Just need to make it removable for when I load onto my trailer.

 

[Todday1]

No I added a wind dam to close up the gap but it is from APR. and all of them are not something you would take on and off. So I do not think it will be easy to try and make one. While there are pricey I would go with verus if I get another one. You have to use boards to get on and if trailer

I was thinking about trying to retro fit some race bread brackets and just creating my own composite or plywood splitter. Or I may just go with verus and wooden ramps if I give up. Ha.

Have any of you tried this to enhance the durability of your windscreen? We sold the shit out of it at a dealership I used to work for, and many people swore by it. If you can score the product cheap enough it would certainly be worth a try. I might be able to get my hands on some as well...

How is that going to protect against pitting and cracks? Looks like expensive Rain-X.

"Diamon-Fusion is an ultra-thin, protective glass coating that transforms ordinary automotive glass into a high-performing, water-repellent surface. Similar to a nonstick cooking pan, windshields treated with Diamon-Fusion cause rainwater and environmental pollutants to easily bead up and roll off the glass."

It's supposed to strengthen the glass surface as well, as it has a hardener built in. I dunno, I don't have a dog in this fight, just throwing the suggestion out there
