Tuner market in the mid 90s in the US vs. today is a very different scene. Any company that did anything for N55 pretty much started making products for B58 rather quickly. Wasnāt MY15 the first one for 340i? 3.5yrs is a long time in the tuner scene today.Not a Toyota fanboi, just believe that a giant car company knows more than a bunch of internet nobodies. Myself included. They know what the A80 means to people.
and I know, first hand experience, that 9/10, the Germans do things right. Give them a design scope, it will be met. The A90 engine will have strict criteria and specifications from Toyota that BMW must have agreed to prior to signing on the line. This will include reliability, which we know is one of Toyota's standpoints.
I'm not thinking of it from a car perspective, but a manufacturing/engineering perspective. As a business. I would be surprised if Toyota did underestimate the amount riding on the return of the Supra name.... and if I am wrong, well, that's ok too. I'll just keep my C63.
How long has the B58 been out? 2-3 years? How much power was the 2JZ making in 1995? 400rwkW was a crazy amount back then. It wasn't for a long time that we started seeing the power we come to expect from a JZ.
As for DI being an issue... seen what some of the AMG engines are doing in Europe? They haven't even been out *that* long either.
I am brokering a 94' 6spd, TT, Targa, Baltic Blue, 40k mile MINT Stock example of a car, only issue is you need $65k...haha funny you say that. I'm looking for a Mkiv. If this car truly flops this will be a 70K car for sure and higher...If you see one clean title, original 6 speed for sale anytime soon please let me know by PM. (Under 55K) SRS!
Greatest. Clapback. Ever.Now now, you better watch out or you might start implying that Toyota, the largest car manufacturer on the planet, actually did some level of investigative research before moving into a large-scale partnership with another large automobile manufacturer, despite obvious implicit hurdles that would cost them considerable time and money.
Nahhhhh, Toyota is lameeee, the GT86 suxxx. Just a Corolla made by Subaru. MKV Supra should have been a Hellcat competitor because I love disregarding Katayama-San's vision and direction because I saw a video of a Supra with 14,000hp and it made pop-pop noises out it's peculiarly angled exhaust pipe.
4 pot opposing piston caliper, unpainted but maybe that's different on a production car. I'm sure the fans would like them shiny and obvious in a bright color.
The Russians(who'd have thought) just finally cracked the DME for the B-series motors barely a month ago, which is why there haven't been any making big numbers yet. The N54 engine easily supports 600+hp, so I have no doubt the B58 which is 2 generations newer than the n54 will have any trouble making good numbers. All of you hating on BMW and their engines/design work will be pleasantly surprised by the engines capabilities. If it really has an iron or CGI block then it definitely will have no problem pushing BIG numbers.Tuner market in the mid 90s in the US vs. today is a very different scene.

Lol this was posted three posts up on July 15.I found something interesting.. although not related to lights
Yeah I figured Tbh. I thought I had posted it on a different thread tbh. Soz!Lol this was posted three posts up on July 15.
The calipers are used on other BMW cars that have been out for some time now, there are definitely options out there already besides this companyJust resurrecting this thread. In case anybody needs sport pads for the new Supra, there isn't much on the market.
Fritech, the sport pads branch of Metelli (a big OEM/2nd market manufacturer of pads, pumps etc here in italy) makes some in two compounds:
RS60 - fast road / trackday
RS80 - full race
Prices are very competitive.
