What did you do to your Supra today?

[FLtrackdays]

Dumb question but does the OEM brake setup perform well with high horsepower track built cars? Or do they typically go BBK, invasive ducting, etc.?

So much coin for big brake kits Funk (Michale). And I honestly don’t know if they have as many decently priced pads as our OEM calipers do? Had mine rebuilt recently & got ducts for uneven pad wear up front. Different track like Bryan said. No added HP ? & still have to put up with two 145mph hard braking points with another 120 mph hard 90 turn quickly after one of em, every lap at Sebring.

Really depends on the track. Personally, with the right pads and fluid, I have no issue with them at Lime Rock, Palmer and Poconos. Palmer and Poconos are the hardest on brakes out of the three.

Did you consider rebuilding the old ones? Wish I would have gotten the Toyota logo pic now ? (before and after their rebuild & bath ? )

i went with the g80 m3 front calipers. Looks cool and can handle more heat.

What’s the cost to do this?

Second weekend on the track. Definitely seeing some progress.

was that a Ferrari?

EDIT: video is not speeded up. The camera is placed in the bumper. The proximity to the ground makes it look faster. Still a cool take.

488GTB was a rental and dude was terrible with point-bys

Love that camera angle! I was wondering if the Ferrari was injured ? but bushido Bryan answered the question. If you can’t do point by’s, you obviously can’t drive either.

Hope to see both of ya out there b4 it gets too hot ? for me. Waiting on a few parts….

homeboy looked like he was kind of lost and wasnt sure where he wanted to be

Most definitely that guy in the Ferrari was more scared than me. ?
And yes. That was kind of a T Rex Point by.

when my wife asked me how this weekend felt compared to my first one, I told her that sitting with you on the car and seeing you driving it was an eye opener on what the car can do. I’m still more concerned about line, breaking points where to throttle, I haven’t seen what my times even look like. Obviously I’m slow, but the important thing is to get the technique better.

turn 10 remains scary, it feels like I’m plunging into the abyss. ? But on Sunday I saw I was a little more confident.

Installed new apex 18x10s, 200TW tires, and finally got the rear swaybar and the last SPL part in. Swaybar was not fun, especially since I fished it through backwards the first time

ECU is sitting on my dining room table. Waiting for my MHD license! Thought it would be instant and I would have the car running today.

How long does it take?

How long does it take?

I thought it was instantaneous over email? Perhaps I’m forgetting?

The camera is not on a suction cup. Is bolted to the bumper and on a metal case, has a lens protector (all borrowed from aircraft external camera mounts)

It survived the weekend unscathed. Just a couple of pieces of rubber here and there.

You can install and have the car run without putting MHD on it.
