Yes, you read it right...
I took my convertible to the track this past weekend. Results were dismal.. lol. The engine cannot do everything. Of course the driver has to do a lot. But there are some things that help the driver. The instructor took my car for a few laps. Scared the **** out me.. The power and torque are there, the handling and braking were not good, when he drove it... His recommendations... EBC yellow pads, need to go... they are good for a few laps, but they heat pretty quick.. Toyo R888 did ok job, he recommended slicks (not ready to go there yet), at first he did not know they were toyo, he thought tires were crap. When he gout out, and saw the r888, he recommended camber adjustments.. Facebook not the place to ask this. What are the camber settings you have tried the most, and if any toe and any other recommendations... the car felt like a refrigerator on wheels, hard to handle, and of course the added weight. not really going to buy a lotus, or a porsche.. but maybe adjusting the camber might improve.. front -1.5 rear -2.0 I Asked around, but are these good for the celica....... other than fixing a few of my mistakes on the 2gr swap, the engine performed really good.... YAY -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |

having better seats and belts will have you sliding around alot less. Not having to worry about keeping your body straight lets you focus more on the wheel and give you a better feeling of how the car is pitching and rotating
