i only managed a best of 1'23.9 in the Supra (PB = 1'23.1) and struggled with massive underbonnet temps (140'C after four laps) despite extra cooling mods (oil cooler, new radiator, extra thermo fan, more ducting) and new Brembo brakes. in hindsight, the rapid increase in temp and higher than normal boost levels recorded (1.5bar compared to the usual 1.2bar on track) with no improvement in speed or laptimes, were the early signs of my impending turbo failure - unfortunately this occurred on Tuesday morning when i went out again with the intention of breaking 1'22. interestingly, Trent (one of the instructors) only got 1'24.19 on a clear track when everyone went to lunch - he drove beautifully and it sounded like he was pushing hard, but analysis of that session reveals that my stock twins were already failing as we should have gone a lot faster. late braking and high corner speeds were let down by the lack of power on exit.

the fastest cars on the day that i know of were the R35 (a comfortable 1'22.08 - not bad for a four month old car after its first service!), the blue Evo IX (1'22.9 on street tires) and the black TT Supra (Dave with a stonking 1'23.13 on street tires). it's great to see that two Supras with stock turbos can put down some good 1'23 laptimes! ;) for the record, the stock R35 is good for 1'18 as Trent the instructor drove that laptime in it the next day.

for all those who couldn't attend - you missed out on an awesome event. the good news is that i will be running another trackday like this in March next year, so start planning now!

Hi,

I am Steve with the Blue Supra, Great to catch up with you guys!

Copied and pasted from SASupra:

Well done to everyone great day, thanks Kim for organising it. :)

Personally I was aiming for a 1:29 or a 1:28 as I saw darren "yiros" had got a best of 1:29.84 (fastest N/A as per his sig).

I just looked up that track day and saw that he did that on semi slicks so I am even more impressed that I did the 1:28 on street tyres!

All of the pics I took on my iphone failed??? So the only ones are a couple from my hand held digital. Here they are:

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
