What did you do to your Supra today?

[SikkuSamra]

Been dreaming of these wheels lately in a color like this. Where’d you pick em up? Looks absolutely killer ?

Thank you! A really nice guy was selling them locally and I jumped on them. Pictures don't do these wheels justice. The concavity is insane and there are gold flakes in the black titanium paint!

for me, autox is $110, track day is $930 (event + track insurance)

both reward legal seat time

obviously tires and pads take more of a beating at the track

the atmosphere is different. out of driving, there's more socializing at an autox event. at the tracks, people are just winding down in between sessions. so less fatigue i guess?

my local autox is different from everyone else's though.. it's a large go kart track with cones being used to manipulate the configuration. i'm not sure how that experience compares to others'

I'm part of a small, local autocross club. We have a "home site" here in Central Florida, but we pay for use of the site, and we're at the whim of the property owners who could shut us out at any point. We've struggled with insurance too... the Florida insurance market it tough. Costs are high, and finding an underwriter is challenging, because most don't want to cover "motorsports" so it takes a lot of communication, education and coordination.

Ran a G82 M4 for fun. That S58 top end was something else. (I’m still stock). Sounded like the G82 was possibly catless.

As BimmerCode finally decided to support my new instrument cluster, I did some coding.

I coded out the annoying AF auto-off off symbol (my car is already coded to never turn itself off no matter what mode it is in) and also worked out how to remove the ugly ass green cruise control display from my HUD.

Neatness counts!

You’re close enough to Sebring. Definitely give it a try. If you run with a novice group in say NASA, I couldn’t imagine you needing to buy insurance. That’ll save you a ton $$$. However, if you (anyone) feels the need to push it to absolute limit in a blind corner (near a wall) before gaining the experience needed to do so, then buy track insurance.

Where is the auto-off off symbol located?

Smack bang in the middle of the instrument cluster. Well, it used to be. ?

HKS BOV + AMS CAI

How’s the sound with the AMS CAI? Any way to remove their logo or is it under a clear coat?

In bimmercode, to code it out. Sorry for confusion.

LOL. All good. Take a look at this sheet and if you have anything good to add (codes you have confirmed as working), please feel free to add them.

What lip kit is that? Looks amazing with the wheels!

Yeah nice story, still wouldn’t trust any Toyota dealership to work on this car tho

i feel bad for the guys that have had rough experience i'm grateful my local dealer has been nothing but great to work. always have parts, and their resident "supra tech" is a great guy and always gets my car right i would trust almost any job in his hands. (it helps the dealer is part of massive auto group and bmw is next door with the same ownership)

track vs autocross, in terms of fun per dollar, is way different in my mind.

autocross is significantly cheaper, but most of your day is spent standing around and watching other people drive and moving cones back. you get 3-6 runs, just under a minute apiece. if you're lucky, the course will let you go WOT 3 times per run.

trackday, you get roughly an hour of going WOT to hard on the brakes and back again.
