very unlikely until sometime next year.

This was a response speaking about the 86, but it mentioned a little something fun: "Yamaha's automotive engine staff has been integrated into Toyota, so the same folks who designed those classic DOHC's are still there. They in fact did assist with the FA20 which is unique to the 85/BRZ to an extent, having a very different character than the rest of Subaru line, and many unique parts too. And they spent two years with BMW's parts design to do the same with new Supra upcoming, a new and unique BMW engine with input by Toyota in all areas."

@A70TTR ... anything going to be unveiled at SEMA? I remember us speaking about a trade show being some sort of a stage for debut.

 

[A70TTR]

Up to Tada and the marketing/sales folks, but if it is there I think it will just be the car we saw in MI, maybe with a little less camo? Not sure. I don't think we will see anything worthwhile any time soon as no one is talking about anything new aside from 4 cylinder deliveries possibly being delayed until Q4 '19 lol

Oh well that's a shame...

 

[A70TTR]

Haha, yeah I don't really care about that detail

I was looking forward to that 4cyl version..

somehow I feel that's incorrect given the stable of other cars you have

@A70TTR will you be going to Fuji in October for 6 Hours Of Fuji?

I'm actually not sure what I have going on October just yet, but unlikely unless I made a point to be there.

Hello mein friend, any new juicy rumours? Anything remotely interesting?

One question I had - the brakes seem to be the M sport option off the 540i - which are available in 348mm and 374mm diameter (fronts)

From the pics, given how much the rotor fills the 19" wheel, it looks like the A90 has the 374mm items.

Can you add any clarity on this one?

Thanks


EDIT: Had my dimensions completely ballsed up

 

[A70TTR]

I wanna say they are actually 374mm, but they are M Sport items iirc

 

[MA617M]

thanks mate, i somehow buggered up my dimensions completely. M sport are either 348 or 374mm.

374mm is a lot of brakes for a 1400kg ish car... JZA80 only had 330mm fronts.

My JZA80 has 355mm fronts and the braking performance is outstanding.
