That's normal. For me, it's the thread after thread about the latest CF adhesive stickers to dress up the interior. Or which exhaust is loudest with no drone. Or what's the widest tire I can possibly fit on the stock wheels. Or which brake pads are best for street cruising/touge in my local parking lot.

Whatever. Guess it gets real brake kits that much sooner meow.

Can one of ya'll fill me in on the latest for tuning 21+ cars?

So far I've seen,

Piggy Back - lame
Unlock via Femto - Possible to get relocked later?
Clone to non-locked ECU - Seems ECUs are spendy?

So far I've seen,

Piggy Back - lame (actually well worth it)
Unlock via Femto - Possible to get relocked later? (Yes, just don't take it to the dealer)
Clone to non-locked ECU - Seems ECUs are spendy? (Yes)

See answers above

I think I spent about $400 for salvaged calipers and rotors. I'll be swapping out as soon as my pads are done. Well worth it, IMO. The base model is the "RS" of the GRs and hard to find so I feel spe-ci-al.

Damn. Supra forum is kind of ripoff. Forcing me to sign up to be a sponsor, which is $110/mo. Guess I'll make another account.

They are forcing you to be a sponsor? Haven't said anything to me about having to be one and I have sold a few parts through the shop to people.

I may have not thoroughly thought it through when I signed up with my work email

Signed with personal email with a different screen name (speedingsafely) and seems I I have full posting privileges.

That course was a LOT of fun. It'll make you pay with an off, if you let it catch you....
It was super awesome to meet the two Seans, finally.

I didn't think I'd place! Took 7hrs to get home, though. That sucked, so good we left early.
I was kind of bummed. When I found out I won my class for bimmer challenge, I stopped driving. Turns out I missed the track record for my class by 0.3 seconds. Had I known....

For anyone who hasn't been to LVMS, here's the video from my fastest lap. So many bobbles... so many places to make up some time....so many chances to have the class record. AAAARRRRGGGHHH. I wish I had known I was that damned close.
