It might just be over correcting. The rev match isn't perfect.

For awareness, the ease of getting the front pads out seems to vary greatly, probably depending on how long you have had them in there or how hot you got them. Some people have no issue, but the first time I tried to swap mine for track pads after ~1500 miles they were a nightmare to get out. I...

Why wouldn't they under the circumstances? If it happens when you used Bimmercode to code out auto start/stop and doesn't happen when you went back to stock, that's pretty strong evidence. The fact that it doesn't happen when you deactivate auto start/stop normally is further evidence that...

What are you basing this on? I have a '23 3.0 Premium MT and it has HUD.

Booooooo! As someone who hasn't done the CDV delete yet, I've found the best approach is to smoothly let out the clutch (don't dump it) and feather in some throttle during the last couple inches of travel. Don't want to ride the clutch obviously, but I find that a little bit of slip helps smooth...

Probably a lost cause to try to get this thread somewhat back on track, but my car has been in the shop for 2 months and unclear when it will be out. I asked them to put it on a tender a while ago, but now I'm more concerned about the fuel. Is it worth it to ask them to put some stabilizer in it...

I was very close to being in this position and was going through the same thought process. Fortunately, mine was not totaled ($30K of work though). I think if I did have to replace it, I would look at a CT4-V Blackwing, Camaro SS 1LE, or maybe a F87 M2. I still would rather have a MT Supra over...

Only somewhat surprising things to me are how quickly the Dark Horse stops (given how heavy it is, must be massive brakes and big, sticky tires) and how slow the Type R is (wouldn't have expected it to be so far behind the Golf R and Elantra N). I've only gotten the Supra up to 140 or so, but I...

I'll be at the NASA event at Summit Point this weekend. Technically not part of the GR group as I already used my freebie, but I'll be running with them (and all the GR86/Corolla traffic) in HPDE1. Red car #84 if anyone wants to come say hi.

Thanks for confirming what I was thinking after @LowRoller 's comments. It seems like the damping in the rear is maybe not quite as buttoned-up as the front, so it is more easily unsettled by bumps than the front, leading to oversteer if you are on the limit and hit a bump. I could see how that...

This struck me as one of the few reasonable and even-keeled responses in this whole thread, so thanks for that. Can you (or someone) help me understand what people mean when they say the Supra is too soft in the rear and that is leading to oversteer/instability? I thought the conventional...

The AC works well in my experience, but the seats are not breathable at all obviously. I would direct the vents away from you and actually get the cabin as cool as you can in terms of temperature rather than relying on the cold air blowing on you. I find when it is blowing on me, my hands and...

AAA or locksmith to pop the door lock open. Then hit the trunk release on the door.

Mind sharing why? Just curious.

Wow, this is awesome. Would have been great to have when I was searching. Interesting to see how many of the 45th Anniversary Editions are out there.

It's not. Virginia as a state has one of the lowest crime rates in the country (much lower than Florida overall), and the counties in Nova (e.g., Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, Loudon) generally have average or below average crime rates for the state overall. DC is fairly high crime overall...

This is actually somewhat helpful information. They are basically telling you this is characteristic of the model and not specific to your vehicle. In other words, there is nothing for them to fix. They could replace every part on the suspension and steering rack with new OEM and it would do the...

Yeah, I edited my original post as I think I confused some things. One important thing I have read is that "Lateral load transfer in one axle will change with the proportion of the roll stiffnesses on that axle, not the roll stiffnesses themselves." So putting proportionally stiffer sway bars on...

Relevant video with respect to set up and oversteer/understeer being down to driver preference: It's true even at the highest levels of motorsport. Both can be fast. My limited understanding is that if the car is oversteering, increasing front axle roll stiffness should increase overall grip...

We'll be fine as long as we avoid Crystal City.
