From Viewer's perspective, Monaco might be just a parade lap. I am fairly sure that most of F1 drivers and Team wants to win Monaco at least once in their career and be part of history. Without the race, they won't win.

I, too, was die hard manual guy with a motto that "If car is not stick shift, it's not a car" All my daily, track, and company car was manual. Those includes Acura Legend 6spd, bmw 535i 6 spd, Acura TL 6spd & ETC. Although supra is not my 1st automatic, once I learned to shift with pedal...

I had a chance to drive one of student's manual supra recently. It was fun and felt good but compare to my auto/pedal, I felt that I'm too busy shifting than driving. Although there aren't any compelling reason for me to switch to manual, any transmission you get, it would be a good platform.

now, you are making me watch the video. :D

I think it will be at border line.. if you get it, make sure tires are not touching any side of QJ before taking wheels off. if you take wheels off when tire is squeezed, it will be almost impossible to put the wheels back on. only way might be bleeding air out of tire, mount it, lower it and...

backing plate/shim is one holding the pads. glue is not strong enough for force on the brake.

correction on an earlier post, looks like adhesive was used from factory to hold pads in place during assembly. however, as you know, glue would not be able to hold force of the braking. for example, when I changed my brake pads, it just came out without any resistance. One of the reason I...

absolutely.

After recalling my old memory.. you might have driven with parking brake on.

Most likely, you are kicking in TCS all the time. Driver's with drifting or rally driving style will yield TCS to kick in. if this was parking brake issue, I believe it will have different code.

Here's mine. ;)

Glue is not necessary. however, you might need to transfer shims from original pad to new if it doesn't come with new pads. Also, you should put very light amount of high temp grease to where pad touches caliper.

spring only - It really doesn't matter because only limited option is available. Only alignment is necessary for spring swap. However, if you are switching to height adjustable spring or coil over then you must do corner balancing with you or equivalent weight in the the car. Also, if you...

For rear, it is good to have but he is doing front as per original post so not needed. As for changing brake pads on front, it is straight forward. if you can pull brake pad wear sensor without breaking it, you can still use old one. have a spare just in case. to compress pistons back, there...

A small lesson for you. Spend more time on gas pedal than brake pedal to go faster.

On OE Brake pads, it really depends on driver's ability. Mine lasted about a season consist of 15 events /w 2~3 days each.

Put maximum pressure tire allows - like 50 psi - and dunk it in a tub full of water. if there's leak, bubble will rise.

Sometimes it goes in magically... then other times it can be B$$$$. Many others had great suggestions and here are few of mine. - make sure you are on jack stand as well as on a jack for secondary safety. - you may need to crawl under the car.. - make sure you have correct bolts. - not...

very interesting race in Miami. I think this was first one this year I sat down to watch.
