Race Tracking Your Supra - Information exchange

[FLtrackdays]

Free car wash last day on track. No longer rubbing the inside wheel well with extra camber. So that’a plus. Still have my Nankangs and want to try and find the threads on them. I’m such a bad judge of when that’ll happen. That’s my only real concern = big relief ‍ to be able to go out and just drive the snot out of her.

Also, never saw 92 octane before or ethanol free 93. Pretty cool for those that don’t drive often.

These are great shots and good you are driving in the wet as it gives you more confidence on car control when you are back on the dry. On driving the tires until they cord. Just remember to get under to check insides especially as you start getting to higher camber. Was watching the outsides and did not check enough the insides. Nankangs are pretty good all the way down to cords. These are hooiser r7.

Maybe if someone drives 4/10ths on them. They heat cycle out WAYYYYYYYYYY before they turn into slicks. I get about 4.5 days out of a set of CRS before they drop off the grip cliff.

This is a heat-cycled out CRS:

That is true. I am just cheap and for hpde sessions when they fall off i just try to adjust to make up for it but for time trail yes i have to balance heat cycles and tread wear and as you say you cannot run all the way down even when they still look like they still have tread left.

Speaking of CR-S.. I ran them in the rain last week for the first time and they were feckin worthless. I don't think this is a major surprise, but I expected a little more. The car was totally undriveable. Packed it in after 2 miserable sessions.

Yea, anything less than full tread, don't even try. I've shared this before but I drove 2 hours to the track in a monsoon with brand new full thread CRS and I thought I was going into the barriers multiple times. Whiskey worked wonders upon arrival.

You’re right. It doesn’t take much to induce a slide, regain & repeat. Daily rains down here 6-9 months of the year, south of Tampa. So we just go out and practice car control. Most peeps have rain tires as well. If it doesn’t rain much in your area, it wouldn’t make sense.

The nice thing, it’s usually short bursts and it’s over. So you have a nice skid pad areas where you can induce a slide. This last time we were fully off line and hunting any dryer spots we could find. Oddly it rained all day.

Ah ok, my mistake there. So info for EU bois for the future

Other info: Speed Engineering (german) will be releasing their canards set soon (~march), with TUV certificate.

have you seen any updates on the canards?

They are supposed to go on sale march. If not, april at worst. Info from SpeedEngieering, I asked them like 2 weeks ago.

Whiteline bushings are bad, they looked like they didn't fit so I cut them down before actually checking if they fit and worked correctly. Whiteline is trash because of my user error.

So I finally installed the whiteline bar today. The bushings were the same as yours. I tightened everything down with ZERO issues. I even checked to see if the bar could freely rotate still. Rotated with ZERO binding and hardly any force.

There is nothing wrong with these bushings. User error.

Don’t put words I my mouth. If you fail to comprehend something this simple and obvious, learn to be quiet.

Some of us aren’t just Internet forum blowhards like yourself.

If you look at that bushing and think that’s ok, by all means feel free to do as you think is right.

It’s okay, it fills the hump in the oem bracket, which isn’t flat. The bar rotates fine with no binding. Everything works as intended. I’m sorry you thought you might have been smarter than it. Every concern you had is not valid.

“learn to be quiet”. No, I’m not quiet literally because of people like you. Others might see your posts and do the same asinine modifications that aren’t necessary.

There’s no where else for the bushing to go, it’s sandwiched between a flat plate and the bracket?

Did you leave the plate out?

Plates are in. Look at the bracket again. It has a hump. The bushing fills it when compressed. Just like OEM. The OEM bushing sticks out past the top when not installed just like the whiteline.

In the end, the bar rotates freely with no modifications. Your concerns are not concerns.
