Yes yes I know Supras are supposed to be straight-line cars you race little boys on the highway with but since I hate drag racing, I'm curious about who here has taken their MKIII to a track day, autox, hillclimb... even rally
I'd love to know a general idea of what kind of setup you're using/used while on the track. Suspension, tires, brakes and a rough idea of RWHP
I've already progressed a little bit in learning the limits of the car and hopefully if all goes well financially for me next year I should be able to put a good chunk of autox time in, possibly some track time and maybe a hillclimb next year.
Currently, my car is basically all stock. Engine wise, it has some piece of shit exhaust that I'd barely count as aftermarket (3" megan racing DP w/ flex section, 2.25" crush bend to a cat, to a glasspack, to a muffler and a stock elbow), ARP head studs and a manual boost controller @ just below fuel cut. Stock suspension, stock brakes. Currently I've dynoed at 223hp/261tq
My plan is simple for this car:
Tires and possibly wheels--but if I upgrade wheels, I'm going to keep them as 16" and only want to upgrade to reduce unsprung mass (Thinking Rota Slipstreams in a 16x8, only around 14lbs each). Tires are going to be stock 225/50R16 in and around the $200 USD each range
Brakes. This is going to be first before anything else, as I've basically destroyed whatever brakes the P.O. put in. Just regular NAPA rotors and performance pads. KVR, Axxis.. not sure yet
Exhaust: I need this badly to unlock the power I'm missing and decrease the damn spoolup time.... BIC DDP, 3" test pipe, 3" back.
Chassis: I'm trying to figure something out right now for bracing the body and keeping it rigid... I think I have an idea for the area behind the front seats and to the rear hatch. Fairly important for this car
And that's really all I want to do.
Oh and a second question since I'm already talking about it. I've been searching and reading past threads like mad for the last day or so and I've seen a bunch of people talking about how a 3" exhaust turbo-back with the BIC DDP will cause you to spool past 12 PSI on stock boost. Is this really true? I kind of doubt it but I wanted to make sure first. I really dont want to be hitting fuel cut all the time in 4th gear
Thanks
