I was referring to your comment here:
I didn't bother looking as I assumed you were admitting to already bashing somewhere on here. either way, I'm still perplexed why you would even be on a MKV Supra forum when you don't own one and don't plan on getting one now that you have chosen a GT-R. It's like showing back up to a job that you quit wondering why your boss is confused to see you again.

Who said I don’t have plans to ever own a MKV .

2022 might be the year my fiancé gets a MKV. She loved the car and so did I, but for me the size was a big factor. The lack of a manual transmission doesn’t make it a deal breaker, but I was previously told a manual would be eventually offered. Many have argued otherwise, and I can see why a manual could not (not would not) be offered. However, because I already own a quick enough daily car that is a manual, with good support for much more power....there isn’t a need to get another manual car. If the GTR or MKV came with a manual, I would sell my STI and only keep one. The deciding factor(s) for me ended up being overall performance and comfort. Not saying the MKV lacked both, it just wasn’t at the same level (to me) as the GTR....and that makes sense, one is $60k new and one is $110k new.

one thing I want to say not just to you but to anyone joining a forum....you don’t have to own that type of vehicle to be a member of a community of car enthusiasts. Sure, people prefer to own a car and join a forum for that car, but it doesn’t mean everyone must own that car to appreciate it. I own an STI and actually am not very active on the Subaru forums. Why? Simple preference. The MKV still to me is a fantastic car, and I hope to eventually own one in the future.

can we move this chat to a proper thread pls?

Happily. I will not be continuing with the off-topic discussions here any further.
I’d hoped my post in this thread a day ago would be no more than a momentary footnote deviation and maybe even a diffuser but that certainly failed.

I’d like to hear some more from Dreihundert’s efforts at this point.

There's nothing else to read on this thread topic at this time as the OP stated they are waiting on a TCM tune because the transmission was slipping. Fortified crank, forged pistons & rods with a bigger turbo and the boost cranked up isn't something new here for the A90. Papadakis went over 1,000hp on his B58 two months ago and is already making more. Waiting on that motor to be put back in his car for street results.

In the meantime, I replied to puzzling statements regarding a manual being the best for driving experience. We are still on topic albeit a subcategory of the topic.

Proper? Discussion regarding a slipping transmission which is what hindered progress with the OP's build is what prompted discussion regarding preferable choice of transmissions here. It's still relative. Shared posts about wish lists of cars people are considering buying in the late future are not.

These forums?

Saw this on your instagram:

Any more info?

Wow! I do really wonder, how do you keep this in the ground? What kind of tires? you can't floor the gas on that thing right? How people with +500 whp handle so much power?
