Here's a vid from a small roadcourse event (1.1 mi., cold laps) last weekend. I drove poorly (wasn't pushing the car) but had a pretty good line. I'll put some more from auto-xes if anyone's interested since I drive completely different in those :icon_bigg

wow i want to use my supra for road racing can you give me any pointers such as what kind of power i should make? very new to this

Don't need alot for a smaller course like this (helps due to the big elevation changes though) but on a normal/big roadcourse you can't have too much (within reason, don't want a lag setup that will only make power midway through the straight.
Seat time is the best upgrade, tires make a huge difference but I'd recommend sticking to street ones like I'm doing since they talk to you more.
FWIW, here's an auto-x vid from yesterday: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4258473763545525686

[CFSapper]

hey are you from Richmond BC?

 

[89Turbo]

mods?

 

[bowsercake]

TTD class, probably pretty close to stock right?

 

[prsrcokr]

Richmond, VA. Little further South but probably more random weather (80F last Wed., snow on Sat.)

Stock with Nasa is TTE and I'm barely staying in TTD, Full R's would put me into TTC.
Mods are:
Suspension/brakes:
Tanabe front bar, S.T. rear bar
Ebay front STB, JIC Al. rear STB
Tokico Illumina, Eibach Prokit
Nylon bushings (except for pivot bushings, they're meant to pivot)
R4S pads, Earls front braided lines.

Engine:
550/Lex/AFPR/Walboro 255
Techtom ecu (not from Reg, generic map 9.6:1 A/Fs)
AMS IC & Piping, HKS BOV
BIC std. DP / Tanabe Medallion catback
Manual boost controller @ 15 psi
MAFT-Pro (no tuning yet)
NGK 2330's/wires

Misc:
Zeitronix W/B
Sparco Pro 2000's
Braille 11 lb. battery
3.73 Torsen coming soon

The car is pretty quiet so it's probably hard to tell what it's doing in the vid. Always gets compliments on the power it must be making (even from the Z06 guys) but I think it's because you keep it in the revs when racing and run high tire pressure so it's easier to get the rear loose than street driving. I do well against mildly prepped Mustangs/Camaros but can't compete with the fast R' comp guys. I've even gotten a couple National level guys to drive it and ran within 1/10th of my times (but still far behind the class dominators). It's not really competitive on that level but alot of fun.

Oh ok. I forgot we were TTE stock, I just just run NASA HPDE anyways. If you ever get more videos up I'd like to see them.

Road Racing is the best thing to do in your supra, until it breaks.

 

[SupraDreamPDR]

nice videos. i plan on doing some Autox once i get bored with drag racing.

It's alot of fun but to really be competitive you might want to get the WRX back. Decent drivers I do ok against but the good ones walk all over me, AWD, -400lbs., + 14 years technology is tough to compete with

Here's a pic from this weekend, I should have a vid ready and my best result to date as soon as they're finalized (the Supra was angry and ready to run yesterday, ran similar time to the BSP Sti's, I'm not on R's)

 

[relax]

I love that pic :love: :love: :love: :love:

16th of 70 raw time, 13 of those folks ahead of me were on R' comps so not bad (my 2nd event on Azenis-street tires)

Good video looks like fun

[bigaaron]

That looks like so much fun! Oh and you picked my favorite song of all time too!

 

[AGlobalThreat]

Cool video, looked like fun. Get some R compounds on and some coilovers! That car is begging for it with those bouncing springs and those screeching tires!

All in due time. I ran on crappy tires for a year until I swapped to these 2 events ago. I think it's one reason I'm able to get more out of them than the guys going right to the best tires.
