ripped off my passenger side rear spat taking a short cut through the gravel. Cones in the pic are because of my risky pass in the previous time trial race. 
What did you do to your Supra today?

Another track day yesterday was completely plagued with XHP issues. The idea is simple. use 'always start in 2nd' to launch the car in auto mode after the burnout. However, Mike Speed (Evolution of Speed owner) and I have consistently run into this problem.
1. Put the car in manual mode for burnout
2. Do burnout 1-3rd gears to get the tires cooking
3. Slap to auto mode while staging to make the pass
After the burnout, and switching to auto mode, the car consistently shifts into 1st gear, rather than second. Which makes for a stressful staging time. Sometimes powering down the car, and opening the door doesn't always fix it.

Sucks, hopefully xHP gets that fixed before long. That 9.7 though, damn!Another track day yesterday was completely plagued with XHP issues.

I also use race ramps. They work great. They even barely slide on my plastic garage tiles which is a win because most things do.

I sold it, short but sweet. Never thought I would be lusting after a 20 year old chevy but here we are. Drove it two hours home and we both had a huge smile on our face the whole time.

Too bad you have to put a front plate on that beauty.

Invest in a quickjack. Lifts the car 18" with equal pressure on all 4 jackpoints. Well worth the $.Did a brake fluid flush / bleed / swap to Castrol SRF RBF (Fluid recommended by someone who tracks their supra, though I'm surprised its only 518f boiling point, my brz had RBF600 and a friend runs RBF660 for 600 and 660f boiling points) Haven't driven it yet, fingers crossed I didn't mess it up and get air in the system. The reservoir never went below mid on fill level and I had it overflowed a few times
I do not understand the front jackpoint, I have a pretty standard jack which doesnt reach the front jackpoint by ~12 inches, and I'm sure the side is the same. This means to get the car on 4 jackstands involves jacking from the rear then the two fronts?? Seems rough for flexing the body / chassis

Bleh.... I hope people keep buying hybrids and EVs.... that means more gasoline for me.Got my Supra a different companion. CA gas prices suck, so meet the 22 chevy bolt euv as the new daily. It honestly runs pretty good. If anyone wants a clean cobalt ss, there will be one for sale shortly haha.
