Hi Josbeat, Please describe where on the car is the "the wishbone adjustment hole" that helped solve the problem of negative camber adjustment? Thanks

Thanks for the feed back... Would you have a pic of the car going around the track using the Tein coil overs?

Has anybody used these; if so what has been your experience using them? As you can see in the signature photo below, the RSR race springs are no longer up to the task!

Has anybody used these coil overs for the track to circuit race, on their Supra? They're made by Fortune Auto and are fully customizable/rebuildable and only $1700.00 I was planning on going with the 16kg/mm front and 12kg/mm rear spring rates.

This is being placed on the rear hubs. The rotors will be slotted not drilled! I'm tired of having spongy brakes at the track after only three sessions! The next upgrade is a new full flow oil cooler from Earls mounted in the stock position, but using a separate path for the hot air to pass away...

Ola Jos, What spring rates are you using for the suspension? I am subscribed to your build as it is the model I am following for my Track Supra.

The engine undercover is made of 1/8 inch, Black polycarbonate. Additionally, there are two flat panels of ABS plastic going down both undersides of the passenger and drivers floor pans. These panels extend from the rear sub frame mountings frontward, then bend up into the wheel wells to keep...

A picture of how the car looks today in a high speed turn going about 80mph... It really needs stiffer springs as the passenger side is so high relative to drivers side that it makes the ground effects useless. On the back straight going 135mph the car was rock steady and no more push while...

Here is what was done today at VIP Performance: Those are pics of the new engine under tray. It is made of polycarbonate and then pop riveted to aluminum "L" brackets that are then mounted to the radiator under support and the front sub-frame. Three quick release pins allow the entire front...

This week in prep for the new season, VIP Performance relocated the brake ducting closer to the center of the front hubs for better cooling and less incidence for brake fade. I noticed right away that getting heat into the pads is much harder, so the application of the brakes required me to...

So, the window washer tank is too old and brittle. We're going to have to make a bulkhead to enclose the AEM H2O/Meth tank, a over flow drain with a tip over valve in it. The bulk head will be calked and sealed to the floor pan.

I'm still using the OEM intercooler, so a rock went straight past the end of the intercooler into a tube in the radiator and punched a hole in it so it weeps coolant. This year I'm utilizing a screen to help reduce the incidence for FOD. No, I'm about to in March... I'm in the process of buying...

I've been tracking the Supra since 2009. As an item breaks, I replace it with an upgraded replacement. This is my practice and is agreeable for my wife too. This practice has helped me from feeling as if the car is a money pit as well! I've owned it since 1992 and I'm the second owner. It was a...

Faye, FYI; I dropped off my 7M torque plate at M&B Cylinder Head for you...

Thanks for UR perspective on the Mishimoto fan and shroud kit. If /when that problem raises it's ugly head, I'll swap out the broken fan. Right now the car only has one fan, it's old and I replace electric fans every four years anyway, as a precaution to outright failure. I have a local source...

The car picked up a stone in the radiator. VIP Performance tried to get it repaired, but I had to purchase a new one. I got the one off DM for under $200. Aaron claims it will do the job at my HP level (400WHP). Also, I replaced the aging (4 years) electric fan with the Mishimoto fan and shroud...

Snow Performance's "Boost Juice" is 51% Meth and that is what the car is using. IJ, I've purchased the AEM brand H2O/Meth kit. What type of seal do you recommend using to seal the fittings on the stock, washer fluid tank?

Thanks IJ. I'll email this setup to Wryann at VIP Performance.

I got the final ruling Friday about the H2O/Meth tank in the cock pit: it has to be in a box with a seal/gasket access panel and within a bulkhead separated from the cockpit in order to be inside the car. So out goes the 5 gal tank! I'm now thinking of placing a 1 Gal tank where the stock...

Update: City doesn't require that the renters of the race track not have fuel in the cock pit, only a recommendation; as it makes sense from a safety standpoint. They are referring to sanctioning bodies like SCCA and NASA who may require that for safety and insurance reasons. I'm in talks with...
