What did you do to your Supra today?

[Funkjaw]

Works well for the track grip guys. Maybe try a welded diff from 1990?

Done! Hope I did it right.

i see you've never driven any of the previous 3 generations of Nissan Z to know what an actually bad LSD is.

Yup I have nooooooooooo idea... .... you ain't kidding tho the VLSD in the Z was hot garbage. When it did work it was unpredictable (much like the ELSD in the MKV) and when it didn't work it was basically an open diff.

I did see that Powertune is releasing a PNP Motec kit that will allow you to control the ELSD in the MKV. That sounds very intriguing to me - would just program it to act like the OS Giken 1.5ways I have in my other cars and call it a day (if that's even possible).

Finally got my DME Femto and running BM3.

feels so good to have a real tune!

Tested out my new AFE front sway bar by poorly mounting my phone as a camera and doing some donuts in a local community park. Needless to say I still have no idea how well the new front sway bar performs. But I do know the E-LSD in these cars sucks as bad as my camera skills.

I thought you were concerned with running lower rear tyre pressures in the axle tramp thread and the affect it would have on fuel economy and tyre life

You sound like my wife Phil - she makes fun of me for coupon clipping when I grocery shop but then I go and drop $8,867.80 on performance parts for my Supra within the first 4 months of owning it.

The way I see it is every mm of tire saved on my daily commute is a mm of tire I can burn off doing donuts ?

Got my windshield replaced. Apparently "energetically shutting the hood" can turn a tiny rock chip into a massive crack!

45th Anniversary wing removed, Verus V1X installed in its' place.

For anyone curious/interested -- the OEM 45th Anniversary wing is held down by two bolts on each upright. The bolts are accessible underneath the trunk by prying off the plastic covering, that hides the hatch mechanism.

temporary plugs lol

Great looking diffuser!

Found a clip from my tail of the dragon shenanigans.

I liked hearing the bikes go by and their foot supports scraping the pavement lol

flashed MHD back to Stage 2/93 octane after my state inspection. Drove it all over the damn place. Washed it. And back on the battery tender. 5-8” of snow heading our way. BULLSHIT

This should read "I liked hearing the Harleys go by and their foot boards scraping the pavement lol. On a decent Sportsbike one a road like this you don't need to worry about dragging pegs.
Why would you ride a Harley around a road like that, you're just going to be a mobile chicane.

To be fair i can drag my pegs on my street triple RS, and the STR, while not an all out sportsbike, is a fairly competent track weapon

I might suggest you adjust your riding style if your dragging pegs on a street triple on the road. Even on my old Ducati 1000ss on the track with my old school no hanging off riding style the last thing I need to worry about is dragging pegs. Same on the old 2007 GSXR1000.
I rode friends Harley once, once was enough believe me. I was shocked at how appalling they were in the going around corners department and I'd lowered the bar a LOT for the experience. Bordering on lethal.

Def not scraping my pegs on the road. Referring to the track. Fairly certain those sportsbikes have their pegs a bit higher than a naked like mine. Even the older Duc.

I also think it depends on the track. It's really not hard to scrape your pegs on the first corner of Brands Hatch (if you're familiar with that track), where i spent a lot of time until i left the UK. Negative camber downhill turn...

Nice bikes btw
