Honestly if I had to do it again I’d just bring it to a shop and let them deal with it. I always do my own mods, but this one was just super frustrating, easily the worst install so far on this car. A smaller manifold wouldn’t have had as many problems, it took nearly 2 hours just to get this bastard to sit right on the head so the holes would actually line up…during which time an o-ring managed to fall out which luckily I noticed or I would have had a massive boost leak and would have to do it all over again. I haven’t actually driven the car yet, so who knows, maybe one did.

My recommendation is just take it to a shop and pay them whatever they want.
Welp, went for a test drive and the car is only making 4 psi. Pulled the manifold back off and everything looks fine, all o-rings in place, all evap lines connected, all holes in the manifold (that I'm aware of) plugged. No idea where the leak is coming from.

Check the chargepipe, esp the coupler.

I know it's not CF interior trim or wingy ding aero bits, but I took first place in class at round 4 of the Bimmer Challenge and 3rd in Vegas Cup, yesterday (Las Vegas Motor Speedway ORC) with a 1'57.8.

Now to see if I can make up points after missing the first three rounds.

The car continues to impress me.

Good driving and good meeting you there! I managed to squeak in a 1.59.1 with traffic at the last turn on my final session. Not bad for my first time out on a big track with the Supra!

Congrats, dude!
I feel the same about my first time out. Everyone had me second guessing myself, telling me "you're spoiled since the Evo drove itself". I'm no stranger to RWD and loved how controllable this thing is with slip angle. Some of the times I didn't even lift, bro. ?
But then I had to get serious....

Haha. I know exactly what you mean. Love the way it handles even though I have too much understeer with my setup. Were you able to go flat out on turns 2 to 3 and 6 to 7? Not sure if my aero really made any difference on that track.

I feel I *could* have, if I got it just right, but I didn't. I think a few more laps and I would have had it. The car had a 1:56 in it for sure. Possibly a 1:55...

Oh and a picture of course....
I'm waiting to get home to download mine!

Ok so it makes a difference then. Haha. I was flat out there every lap with some confidence to spare. Honestly had zero pucker moments. With your driving, I could see a 1.55 possible! Download that pic and post it!

Edit - forgot to mention I melted my weights and center caps off.... no brake fade though.

That’s awesome ?? dude!!!! You nailed it. This car is so shocking fast on track it’s insane. I know I can continue to go even faster and faster. I keep slowly pushing her limits. And even then, everyone is like “is that a Supra?” ? Glad Toyota is giving everyone a free track day to really appreciate what this car can do!

Pining for the fjords eh? ;) I live in the south-eastern parts of Norway, where everything is flat, flat and flat. But 6-7 hours away you can find the famous Atlantic Road and Trollstigen (The troll ladder).
I hope to take a ride there during this summer season.

Have you raised the weights issue with Apex? Some of mine also disappeared and I thought I was the only one.

Gave it a quick wash and did some plastidip. Dad suggested matching the logos with the same champagne color I put on the wheels. I was bored and my American panda badges just arrived so I tried it out.

Hofmann power weights Type 380

I have yet to lose a weight from track use after years of other brands melting/flying off.

Check the chargepipe, esp the coupler.
Found this, I’m hoping it’s responsible because if not, I’m out of ideas. I didn’t even tighten the clamp *that* hard, but it definitely deformed the charge pipe. I have a P2uned replacement on the way from Jesse at 1FS, he said he’s seen this before with the FTP and the P2uned should be stronger.
