Its a "power track" with three longish straights but ok track with safe runoff areas.

Not sure if placebo but would say with endless fluid pedal feel improved. Or then there was just air in the system, fluids were 1yr old.
15 year old motive bleeder worked flawlessly - superb quality.

yep - even though its corrosion protected I find it difficult to believe there will be a car left after Toyota's 10 year warranty. All nuts and stuff seem to be quite heavily impacted so might be smart to replace few items once in a while..Madness, this salt on the streets... Looks like it was fished out of the sea.
Have you seen the new "extra" track? I'm going to Alastaro 29/5 and we were told that they added a few km worth of track for us to test.Alastaro Circuit - the usual here.

Yes I think i know the new route - will be fun with new fast corners! Are you coming with GR Yaris?
Wasn't planing on taking it but my M3 is not playing ball at the moment so probably taking the Yaris instead.

Cool - Im also there likely from 17-> - would be cool to see your little rocket!
I'm afraid we are leaving for the boat at around 17... We'll be driving the whole day so if its possible swing by earlier so I can give you a ride. (If you want of course.)

Plastic bits under the car seem to have hard time in Finnish Winter.
Did a quick fix and it seems to be sturdy enough but need to ask if there would be a more durable option available.
Maybe aluminum would be more durable?

That was the initial idea but no room to air channel due to oil feed lines go from there so using air from fog light and upper area - maybe its sufficient for occasional track use..
Yup, winter routine:
- swap wheels and tyres
- swap undertray for skidplate
- rear diff vent off
- toe out rear
- swap extra long beam for fog lights*
- swap vented hood for stock*
There is a aluminum rear diff vent by Airtec, but it looks to be directing air at diff rather than ITCC.
@Diyman25 has this solution, I plan to replace mesh with Alu fan grille so the water from wheels doesn't enter

yes I know. Its maybe efficient way but on long term the cell will be dirty and air is not going that well through.Yup, winter routine:
*future upgrades, but never too soon to start planning

Instead I cut 1x10cm slot to inner fender to guide air out. Figured it should be sufficient as there should be positive pressure to the cell when car is moving.
Don't want to make big holes to fenders as car is driven daily.
It's also good to insulate the air not to go around the oil cooling cell.

I know about Diyman25 solution, but it's perfect for clear road and warm country. I have winter and spring/autumn with muds, and oil cooler will be cover this mud. I speak about thisYup, winter routine:
