What did you do to your Supra today?

[FLtrackdays]

now convince @FLtrackdays to sell me a set of his fronts that he's hoarding.

@FLtrackdays quit hoarding pads and hook another forum member up!

Honestly I'm not feeling great about it, but I don't want to bail on the events I already have scheduled and this was the only way to get pads in time. I'm not a good enough driver to take advantage of the extra performance, but I really don't think I had any other viable options.

It's a lot more money than I really wanted to spend, and looking at how much I've spent this summer it makes me feel sick. That said I've spent the better part of the morning calling anywhere that has the PMUs listed for sale and they're all telling me it's going to be 2-6 months.

Lesson learned. Next time I find the PMUs in stock I'm going to grab 2 sets. It's still cheaper than the god damn CSGs.

This also means that my two upcoming track days are going to be my last for this year.

Feel y’all’s pain. I’ve been there dun that ? & why I keep a spare set. Did you guys try Speed Industry or some of these?

Off today, so I’ll climb up in my garage and see what I’ve actually got Chuck.

18x11 and still need spacers? What's the offset????
My numbers are vinyl. I couldn't find metal anywhere on the car that I wanted to put numbers.

As for the great brake pad debate, nobody seems to worry about brake pad wear versus rotor wear, other than me?
We all know either the pad is going to wear or the rotor. You can't have long life in both.
Unless the CSG pads are lasting so long because they are literally so thick that they last twice as long as a standard thickness pad.

Even though I no longer need the spacers, I’ve keep em on. Haven’t measured the offset. Running the OEM wheels offseason. Looks good with both. But ur right, not needed.

Like you, I do like how the Hawks don’t chew through my rotors and last quite a long time. Are yours holding up the same on track so far? I did try the Paragon$ on this Supra. They worked but went through them quickly.

Sorry I didn't reach out to you yesterday Mark. I know that you graciously offered to help me out.

I'm blaming @Rocksandblues for convincing me to try the CSGs ???

Don’t blame ya! I’d love to try those someday ?

If anyone else interested found Jason’s (kaj) post on the Carbotechs (don’t know how to use the “quote” feature so just cut and pasted it below)

“I really like G-Loc or (the same pad just more money) Carbotech.”

https://www.counterspacegarage.com/products/brakes/brake-pads/carbotech

Not a bad price and in stock @bushido & @Rensuhlo ? Lots of different compounds, so I’d check with @kaj when the sun starts shining in his time zone

 

[Rensuhlo]

Bit the bullet and bought the CSGs as well as fresh rotors and SPL rear traction arms for my car.

Well if theres going to be peer pressure...

I ran XP10's on my Q60. Thought they were fantastic, but it was my first real track pad, so I have no comparison points.

Got the final revision from Jesse for the meth tune. Also, sounding good switching to a catless DP.

 

[SuupYota]

Went to a car meet this morning, had pretty rare/nice cars.

 

[decodeddiesel]

Started on this, made it about halfway through today. Heading to our friends house for a late dinner and cocktails later down the street. Supra is still on the Quickjacks...

 

[GhostSZN]

Finished up my wrap for the new season!

 

[Mayday]

Bought genuine Gazoo Racing Valve Cap

Part #08457-00090

 

[Jakester]

Just replaced my old controller and installed a new Snow Performance methanol controller and new bigger injectors fir it. The dash gauge housing is really cool and I like it a lot. It works great. Very happy with it.

 

[BraveDemon]

Planning to cruise to the beach in the am with the family and then to a pool party at a friends. Thought it’d be fun to take the coupes so spent the day cleaning and fitting car seats into Supra and it’s garage mate.

I’ll (of course) be driving the Supra. Have a safe and happy Labor Day y’all.
