Last year at nationals, out of 51 competitors, 15 were in a Supra. AS had 31 entries. Just a thought experiment - take those 15 in a Supra and add them to AS you get 46, makes that class pretty healthy. You are left with 36 in BS, but I know a few who have FL5s that didn't do nats because of...

Finally have some time to process the insanity that was the Beeville ProSolo. Daniel McCelvey drove his dad's AT Supra. The moment he came up to me and said, "hello fellow B Street competitor!" I knew it was all over 😆 He was in front of me on the first morning runs so I got to watch it...

I've only not trophied once at nationals, 2023 when the battery almost ignited in paddock and I had to jump into someone else's car. Other vehicles were a base Genesis Coupe, then an R-Spec Genesis Coupe, then the 10th gen Si. Right now my car isn't FULLY done up yet. So far, I'm on Apex...

2025 nationals has come and gone! I wound up 5th overall in BS (genuinely surprised!) in a field of 51 other drivers. All of us FL5 drivers were wondering how we would stack up in DS against the FK8. The best part was that our heats ran back-to-back and the conditions were very similar...

Resurrecting this thread, because now I have a totally different noise than the standard clunkiness of an endlink. A reminder - all I have is the bar + endlinks as the LCA are not SCCA street class legal. A few months ago, I noticed this random oscillating squeak (sounds like an NBA game with...

Which bar do you have?

I figure I'll get a better response here than the FB FL5 group. A couple of months ago, I started to develop this squeak in the rear that sounds like basketball sneakers on a hardwood floor. The only time it happened was when I would turn left. When I got under the car, I took a look at my...

All to play second fiddle to the Supras :nono:

Thanks guys! Had a really dumb spin on my day 1 last run...if I would have had a standard improvement I still wouldn't have been close.

I will write a letter, but I cannot be held responsible for the results of the Beeville tour next weekend ?

Resurrecting from the dead... I've emailed customer service on the FitcamX, but perhaps someone else can help me out. I've got it installed, downloaded the phone app, and I'm trying to get it connected. The instructions say "use CAR-######" and a password of 12345678. I see that on my phone...

^ this. Preloaded tracks it makes sense but when autocross is different every weekend, I just don't see how it can be useful.

DEFINITELY install the bar. Stiffening up the chassis will only help. I still run high rear pressures for rotation. I've tried LogR but it just doesn't seem to work, even when I try to set the start line and manually start the datalog. Might just be user error though...perhaps someone else...

Which setting do you have the bar on? I wonder if that is part of the issue? It's hard to imagine though that with the RV6 lower control arms there would be clunking. Something doesn't sound right.

Came from a 10th gen Si with Eibach Type R bar + adjustable endlinks. A small rock would make a clunk on the back end. On my new FL5, I went with RV6 bar + their endlinks. Not a single clunk yet. However, I'm running it on the middle setting because installing was a pain. I want to go to...
