This '89 Turbo was track tested at Road America, www.RoadAmerica.com May 2003. The turbo is using this very inexpensive mod: http://www.supras.com/06/techcenter/display.php?QID=18. Also the radiator was upgraded to a high pro and the heads are milled after a blown head gasket a few years ago.

Notice the heavy dusting in the front wheels from the EBC "RED STUFF" Pads http://www.ebcbrakes.com/. The pads made it only 2 days with this very heavy and front loaded car, but they never gave up! Brake venting was added to help cool.Intakes can be seen in the grill corners.Also the brake fluid is Performance Frictionfullhttp://www.performancefriction.com/high temp.

Here is my ace mechanic keeping me on the track. Thank you Brad I couldn't have done this with out you. Even with all this done the lines had to be bled after each session to keep the brakes working.gopackgo's 1989 Toyota Supragopackgo's 1989 Toyota Supra
The Toyota TEMS were set to full stiff for max dampening around those tough corners at RA. Don't use the SOGI tip to get full stiff. It caused fuel cut off for me. There is another way. Ask me I'll tell you.

Yes that IS a Porche 996 in front of me.

 

This was my paddock neighbor. Nice guy. Nissan GTP prototype. Yes he was in a much higher group than I. This car really hauled. He was the fastest that day. Check out those intercoolers!

The Car is now 20 years old. Still a daily driver. The track was very hard on it and I don't think I will ever track it again. The car now has 90K miles on it and still feels like a V8 on cool days!

Keeping the brakes cool is a BIG one for Time Attack and road course and auto cross. I built PVC tubes to pull in air into the brake area. Don't forget to cool down before stopping! I used premium rotors and EBC pads to stop this heavy car. All was good until we ran in the rain. The tubes sprayed water right on the brakes and yup, very bad.The EBCs were dead the first day. They just couldn't take the heat but they never failed!
