What did you do to your Supra today?

[Evolution]

awww great lmao.
Well, it's in there. Luckily i don't think i can get 4-5 laps out of my tires either.
if i order the fluid now i can probably have it by... maybe july.

buttonwillow 13CW next weekend. ??

get better tires haha. Good luck out there. Get that sub 2 club! I’ll be at spring mountain next weekend. Hopefully it’s not too hot for either of us.

speaking of sub 2 club, my buddy got this made for me.

You have to flush more often. Castrol SRF (my fav) & nice chart below ?

Did a brake fluid flush AGAIN. Ate Typ 200 the first time made the master cylinder squeak and the brakes felt very soft. Flushed again with BMW DOT 4 and the squeak is gone and brakes are factory-firm again. WTF? Some posts state that BMW brake systems need a very thin fluid and Ate may not be thin enough. Either way, do not recommend.

I have a bunch of unopened ATE i was planning on using for a full flush

I haven't posted in this thread for a while - not today but I did the following

- Brake fluid flush with motul 660
- Replaced factory rotors and factory brake pads (they lasted me 43k miles of daily driving, two track days, back roads) with Zimmermann Formula F rotors and OEM brake pads
- Engine oil change
- Replaced factory horn with Fiamm low note and high note horn and installed iilumo lab rgb DRL modules while the front bumper was off.
- Washed, cleaned engine bay and exterior
- summer wheels back on

Yea, ATE is trash, so is Motul RBF.

Endless or SRF. Torque if you can find it.

my friend's neighbor owns a farm upstate so that's their little sheepeyrace

aeroluxe gt4-style front lip. says polyurethane but honestly feels and flexes like ABS plastic. bunch of pushpins in the install kit but none of the holes line up with the factory pushpin holes. ?

additional pic, the lip subtracts ~2.75 inches of ground clearance. a bit nervous pulling out of the driveway that first time.

Wow, the stance, without the spoiler and ground effects are so clean. For your car, ya, I'd prefer it w/o the spoiler.

Agree. Not good enough for the Supra on track.

We used up our last ATE cans on the daily driving cars. Worked fine. Also, worked when we tracked smaller slower track cars (S2K & MX5). Guess we weren’t heating those up enough. Less weight, speed I suppose. Bottom line, using SRF now and haven’t looked back.

Makes it look even lower! Thanks!

My information might be old as well, I'm thinking back to the 3000GT/DSM/Evo days. Standard recommendation for HPDE 1-4 (non-TT) was always ATE blue, and carbotech xp8/10/12.

Cheap enough to flush before every event.

TT guys would run motul. Everything I know is wrong now
