I Took The UK's Most Scuffed Supra To A Race Track...And Broke It

[@JapPerformancePartsLTD]

Hi guys this is Saj from Jap Performance Parts. Glad to be a part of another one of Jimmys crazy projects, to be honest I am enjoying this just as much as he is. Love the comments below and good to see you appreciate my support of all of Jimmy's ideas...apart from the wheels of course!

[@SeaTacDelta]

It'd be cool to see more like this where you make adjustments at the track.

[@Danofcanada]

You do amazing work sir

[@UKPhoto111]

Nice one Saj. Hope to see more videos with your crew and Jimmy tweaking the Supra.

[@a3sthetik]

You guys are awesome, your support for what Jimmy does and the genuine excitement that you guys have in helping him shines through the screen. So happy that Jimmy has a great group taking on this project with him.

[@spectrre]

You guys rock!

[@b_risky]

now you're doing IRL stuff time to invest in some wind socks for your mics and polarizing filters for your cameras. love the content

[@Speedkomodo]

Yeah! Not only polarizers but also ND filters! :D helps managing the stupidly bright backgrounds. Every camera struggles with that.

[@reganmead2721]

Save time with the edit aswell if you don’t have to record a voiceover, top content this 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Lionsraws66]

I really didn't care about the sound. ' great content Jimmy !

[@neovo903]

dead cats for the mics methinks

[@neovo903]

Also what about a graduated ND filter? It might help with the dark interior and the bright exterior

[@DjDolHaus86]

That guy in the R33 was living the Clubman Cup dream, smashing MX5s and stock Supras with a 500hp Skyline.

[@acreativename7999]

And Jimmy was that one AI who somehow sticks right behind you half the race

[@justamanchimp]

Jimmy this might be your best video yet. I love that you included the out lap when trying the new suspension and included you feeding back with the mechanics, and btw those guys are sound too. I love watching the reality of the process. You're not dramatising it or making it into something it isn't. Nothing is made in vanity and you can really tell your content is coming from a good place. It's sincere, authentic, humble and it is what it is. I love that. The journey is just really cool to watch and in ways I/we get to be part of it which is just so jeffin cool to me. You're making this world feel very accessible, coming from someone who hasn't even made it to sim pleb, let alone real racing pleb.. I drive in real life though and I'm a programmer so I earn a bit of money, I know a bit about cars and racing but I otherwise wouldn't really be motivated to start. Actually before watching you, I probably wouldn't have known where to start at all I think. Been watching for like yeeeears now it feels, probably since like 2017, when I literally was just a pleb.. I think I might have vicariously become a race driver through you loool.. Anyways, thought I'd write this for the sake of user feedback if not for anything else, but much respect to you and great video 👍

[@RaccRacing]

As a long time follower of the shed man, I can wholeheartedly agree with that.

[@afilleduptaco]

Loving the irl stuff Jimmer! I was just there Thursday for a bike track day. It has crazy elevation change in person lol

[@dbracer]

You really can't tell just how steep a downhill it is from Paddock Hill Bend until you go there. I don't think either sims or videos really give you a true feeling for it. In a low track car you can't see the corner apex until after you've committed to turning in, so it's a huge leap of faith. Might be a bit easier in a road car, or on a bike with the higher viewpoint. The compression at the bottom of the hill also isn't something you're going to grasp in a sim, either.

[@s70driver2005]

That looks so fun on a bike!!! There's a track here in Texas that has some fun elevation change for bikes.

[@KrozMcD]

Loving this series! It's like a real life Gran Turismo, buying a second hand car and slowly modding it up!

[@johncarl5505]

Isn't that just real life? Why is everything car related Gran Turismo?

[@williampowell9013]

​@@johncarl5505 Jimmy has always played Gran Trurismo on his channel. He's worked his way up to the point where he can do exactly what he loved doing on those games, but now in real life. He's has brought his GT videos to reality. Pretty awesome to witness given he has been restricted to video games in his shed for most of his KZbin career, hence all the gt related comments.

[@FixUpChris]

The true japanese car experience, nice shiny suspension surrounded by crusty suspension arms. Love it!

[@fanofentropy2280]

As someone who's driven 70's & 80's american cars and trucks all my life, hearing you call a Supra a boat made me smile immensely. Have fun Jimmy !

[@jonfewless3448]

Love all the car content. I think what makes your supra journey most unique is that your entire background. Jimmy started in a shed, playing sim racing. Then Jimmy moved out of the shed, became an actual driver whos actually not bad at racing IRL. Now Jimmy has added to making his own track car. Its not about the content, its about watching the Jimmy journey from shed sim racer, to full blown racer who is actually good at sim racing too. Just dont bin this Supra...

[@tyresmoker4]

Missed opportunity to play this along the gt theme, should have cut scenes where you're applying said upgrades where you go back to the main menu and upgrade it 😁 keep it up, this is prime viewing 👌

[@adamb4552]

Hey jimmy, I was the guy that came and got a picture with you😂, thanks for the conversation. I was very nervous and wish we spoke more. Looks pretty quick from your view. That r33 was awesome too, very quick. Wondered why your car was sitting at the back of the paddock, unfortunate about the clutch. Mechanical failures aren’t fixed as easily as they are in the sim 😂. Good luck with this awesome project

[@katrinapaton5283]

"This car isn't ready to die yet," pretty much sums her up. Loving this project car already, can't wait to see where this goes. And Jimmy, you're living proof that you don't have to be the best at something, there are thousands of other sim racers and irl racers out there but its YOU we come to see.

[@Hippiewolf42]

Scuffed Supra is best Supra! Love hearing more about the project cars

[@GamingwithSteeeve]

Great driving Jimbo, man can't wait to see the progress of the Supra.

[@krillc]

Audio really wasn't that bad, so no problem mate! Love the IRL content, your personality is what has kept me here on the channel. Not sim racing or IRL, i love it all!

[@TigerWoodsOffical]

Love that you swapped suspension at the track day of. Dope to see the direct comparison with just hours of difference instead of days.

[@4WDBearAus]

Jimmy, get yourself a Zoom F2 for your in car audio recording. You'll need to sync up in post, but it's a float recorder, so you cant possibly peak the audio. Rycote wind blockers are awesome too. Highly recommend both, we use them everyday at work, never an issue.

[@chadjenkins4036]

This is like Gran Turismo but in real life.

[@hyd119]

21:22 Jimmer is a real one. Gave the man decency as soon as he saw the plumber's (err mechanic's) crack. +respect

[@deaks25]

Point 1 on the old sim white board is "Share your passion". Point 2 is "Enjoy yourself". If the irl track-day stuff is part of your passion and you enjoy doing it Jimmy, share it and you'll find plenty of people are here for it just as much as we are for the sim and irl racing. I know there's lots of a jokes about the Supra, but to be honest it's a manual gearbox'd Mk IV Supra that looks completely bone stock, aside from the ACE wheels and door bell (Which better still be there!), so I'm genuinely impressed, there can't be many Mk IV's left that haven't been touched inappropriately by some chad who barely knows how to hold a spanner.

[@Matty.Hill_87]

These real life videos are awesome, it's good to see you out having fun with the lads doing what you all love

[@2stepsaway820]

Would love to see an NA build with ITBs. There are too many turbo supras about. Hearing a 2J scream to about 8 grand Would be AMAZING.

[@BkSMedia]

Loving the IRL Jimmer content. Absolutely sent the Supra at Brands. Top stuff!

[@Dylanbforthree]

This is fantastic stuff, as someone who was brought into sim racing by you and has now done their first track days with an MX-5, this content is always special.

[@prematuredgravy8033]

A day at the track without slapping the car is a day at the track wasted. The new wheels look fantastic with the silver body. Are you keeping them? Really happy to see a pretty big positive turnout on the first track day, can't wait to see that time get lower and lower.

[@markbaker8004]

Love it. Wet track experience is great, too. Good upgrades. More power = more speed = roll cage and race harness….something to ponder. Cheers from Canada.

[@slugore]

I am so very happy for you Jimmy! I’m also a bit jealous too, to be honest. But it looks like you have an awesome crew of really great people to help you out and I can live vicariously through you! 👍👍

[@Matty.Hill_87]

I believe the technical name for those tyres is ditch finders 🤣🤣

[@staffanstuff]

Loved this format. Before and after footage with new parts and seeing the car getting better with each video is awesome. It's also in the spirit of that late 90's cult game with a stock Supra slowly getting turned in to a weapon. Keep it up!

[@final0222]

When Jimmy uploads a 20 minute video, that usually makes my day on KZbin.

Zeknova tyres are very popular in drifting, they're great with heat management. Seeing Jimmy catch up to and pass faster cars in the boat goes to show how fast he is as a driver, even in a less than ideal car

I'm really enjoying the IRL stuff :) Right now I'm broke but I swear one day I'll get myself a shitbox that I'll be able to do track days with. I was thinking about a Miata, literally everyones starting track car, but we'll see when the time comes, maybe something cooler will be availible then.

Jimmy, just want to say you've sparked a passion in me. Wasn't all the much into racing until I started watching your content. So I got myself a pretty basic wheel for my birthday, the HORI RWA Racing wheel apex, but I'm having a blast on Dirt 2.0!

Great vid Jimmy! I see you are getting ready for the NOS by removing the passenger seat.

[@PeakPerformanceReviews]

Looks tidy around there fella! Most underrated chassis out there, especially in the UK. The Supra is so known for big bhp numbers and straight line speed that no one (especially people that have never driven one) gives it credit. Tbh if the car isn’t tired and dead ie without dead tyres and suspension etc they are brilliant! Great to see another MKIV out on track. Little turbo on it and jobs a good un, doesn’t have to be big hp but this could be a weapon 🙌👍

[@Ruftinator]

The Poopra lives again! Was a nice video to watch. Really curious to see what else gets done to the car in the (near?) future. I have a feeling that the clutch problems and a new dif will probably be at the top of the list of things to improve however hahaha

[@gt4drifters]

You can tell Jimmy has become a proper driver. So proud of you.

[@LockieNZ]

Take a look at the build plate and check out the trans axle code. If it ends in an A, it's open diff. If it ends in a B, it'll have the factory torsen LSD. Well, if it hasn't been changed.

[@forgery007]

As an owner of a '92 Toyota Cressida I can say the first mod for toyotas should be head gasket. Those over-engineered forged blocks blow their aluminium heads like a mentos in a coke bottle XD

[@TheWanderfound]

Your clutch issue reminds me of my first car (1980 BMW 323i, bought in 1999 for $800). The return spring on the clutch was knackered, so you had to pull the pedal back up with your toes. Which is why I always had to drive with my left shoe off.

[@joshg1104]

I don't like being the "ackchyually" guy but, adjusting ride height via the spring perch is actually the correct way. It's more important to have the bump stops working at the right part of the wheel travel/suspension stroke - this is what the "base height" adjustment is there for. There's a good write up somewhere on the MCA suspension site explaining why this is important :) I think Driftworks have covered it in some of their vids, too.

[@JapanCustomTours]

A long time since I had my NZ Supra, but it was a lot of fun. Fortunately an RZ came up and I made the upgrade. Certainly no argument about investing in good wheels and suspension before doing anything else. Brakes (fluids/pads/discs) are consumables and get done regularly, especially if driving hard on a track. Enjoy.

[@JsDs1020]

In the U.S. saw a supra for the first time in about 5 years last Wednesday and it had stock wheels but had what looked like a 3 inch exhaust and very dark tints. I was furious.

Hope it don't seem like trolling. Just seen it in most of your RL racing videos have same issue.

Regarding audio though. Have you tried setting bit resolution to 32 bits floating point? If you can on your set up it should help with gain issues both when you've got too little and too much. Guys at Modern Production you tube channel have an extensive video on that, they know their shit too and are genuine goofs, you'll probably like them.
