I like that lip a lot but decided against it for the time being due to the cost and likelihood that I will just destroy it after I’m lowered. My city enjoys speed bumps, and I can’t stomach buying an expensive part knowing it’ll just get torn up.

It looks like the most functional off the shelf lip for this platform.

Vast amount of aftermarket goods possess the risk of getting damaged or wearing faster than OEM. Looking forward to your build!

Funtastic trackday. A052 and winmax w6, it corners like a charm. so far is the best. Next mod will more lighten the car, thinking of deleting the aircon system and moonroof, splitter will be installed, but not making the car looks like a Transformers.




Cant handle the G of this new fullrace CTR. Cant contain my dizziness.

Default QuickJack Safety Warning re False Lock State

I noticed a QuickJack is in your kit. I love mine, but found a severe hazard that all users should be aware. The QJ can form a "false lock" which holds vehicle weight, but can break free. It is avoidable once you know such a state can exist. When in normal lock, it is super stable, but in "false lock" it's a 4,000 lb mouse trap. You don't want to discover this issue while under your car.

Basically, the cam foot can jam against the stop block instead of the locking bar's end. That happens if you go up a little further before going down into lock. I ran into this unwittingly and the loud bang as it broke free left a stomach turning feeling.What if I had been under it? Yikes.

So, spreading the word and reported to CPSC.gov

EVERY QUICKJACK OWNER NEEDS TO KNOW FALSE LOCK CAN HAPPEN

You may have a lot to gain from a carbon roof and a track focused coil such as Penske or, better yet, the TTX ILX from figs.

My $100 endplates work wonders in the corners. More fun to drive.

ISF VS SUPRA
So My son TypeR LCA bushing broke in the track at the start of first session. After 8 mos of not driving the F . He ask me to give hiim a chance to drive the F for the last 2 session. He got a chance to head to head with his mentor (experienced race track coach). Since i finished 2 session already and the F is almost empty i ask him to refill the tank but instead of 100 octane, he refill it with 91 only( cheap guy). Before his session i experience fuel surged for the first time in the long sweeping corners. Im thinking the F benefitted from the wider wing endplates thats why its more faster in the corners that cause fuel surged. ( im chiming RR racing now). Before this video i was able to left 5 to 6 cars away from the supra in the straights at 140mph, but in the corners he will caught me coz im no good driver lol. Zupra is fast! Hope video will upload ENJOY!!!

Be sure to have those springs tested. Eibach isn't known for delivering what's printed on the box.

I was thinking the same thing, but didn’t want to bring him down lol. With this level of build, I see the suspension as holding him back if it isn’t tuned correctly.
