Razorlab - 2020 LE build thread

Hilarious, this is EXACTLY what I was going to ask when I saw the seats. I was sitting here thinking, that looks about perfect for me, but first I NEED to know "how big'A boy are ya?!"

I'm 5'8" 190lb, 33" waist..so this looks like money!

5'7" 180lbs, 33" waist. I have room to squirm. You'll be fine in these.

Great minds think alike haha even when across the globe and from the future

Winter work continues, plus some new track wheel bling blang...

Do the large/xl fit in the Supra? Your regular is looking pretty tight against the door.
I got to try them out and I “fit” in the regular but I have one more slice of pizza this year it’s over. The large (or maybe xl I’ll double check) felt good but also a bit roomy.

Bryan I like the theory of the speed engineering cold air intake. Honestly I was just think about making a cutout in the high pressure area without the snorkel. Are you tracking IATs? I would love to know if it is worth it

Supopsed to reduce temps by 5-10C, I have it too waiting for install.

I knew it was you from the EvoXForum days.... I learned a thing or two from your build thread there, good to know you're still around doing these shenanigans.

I just read thru the entire 25 page progress on your car, I love it! Really appreciate you documenting everything about track events and what you have experimented with, and those new seats are awesome. As a motorsport engineer I'm a sucker for data and precision, I love the data setup you have here, will defs be shooting you some messages this coming winter, I would love to have the same on mine.
I thought about M340i track pack brakes too but came to the same conclusion with pad options. In terms of the incident you had with the tar and glue remover, I highly recommend using Mother's R3, I have used it on literally everything, except on living things. It's designed for removing track rubber from paint but I use it anywhere from removing marks off home walls to adhesive remaining on top of vinyl, has never damaged any surface.
I won't be going into the track as hardcore as you are, just gonna be totally stock except for brakes and square wheels, tires and as much data equipment as I can afford. I have the same goal in terms of hitting specific lap times before I get MCS and Verus kit, need to transition my driving style from NA/SC FWD and AWD cars to torquey SWB FR.
Have you been tracking the moisture content on your Endless brake fluid? If not, how often did you end up replacing it?

Me: “I’m not buying anything else for this car”

Also Me:

What bar is that (if you're willing to share)? This thread is great btw. Using it as a guide.

First track day with the Supra was this weekend at Lime Rock. First time to this track for me. Wet, rainy and cold all day. Couldn't get any heat in the tires so the car was all over the place. Lots of cars going off track, some hitting armcos and tire walls so I just stayed safe and worked on learning the track and feeling the car out.

Looking forward to a dryer and warmer track day to really see how the car feels. Soon!

What are the specs on Enkei wheels??

SPL delete. Swapped Cusco 28mm front sway bar out for Whiteline 24mm. Slightly tightened my rack.

GT4 hood vent has arrived. Time to do some cuttin'!

I know it’s been a while, but did you choose your vent location or just go with the defaults they list on the website? I’m likely to go with this vent on my car and want to make sure I put it in an ideal/preferred location.

I put it in the basic same location as the GT4 race car. 18" from the front edge of the hood to the front edge of the vent piece.
