part of me wants to say they couldn't include a tether on a car that much? But honestly I think every manufacturer is guilty of stupidity or oversight on trivial things.

I'm going to put my money on bad batteries. I've had it happen a few times for various reasons, including on push to start cars I've owned. Get a known battery brand from a reputable supplier. Anything amazon special could likely lead to exactly what you are describing. If you got a poor batch...

This is not the right forum, that would be in the technical discussion area, just for future reference. 'Turbski' ...man that word makes me cringe.

Your first question was more of a statement so I'm not really sure how to answer that one. Just take note that although its a Supra and a Toyota, this car has a heavy german heritage, so if you aren't used to anything on the euro side of the pond, you may find a bit of a culture shock when it...

If you are looking for something to minimize fumes you are going to want something with a Gesi cat, higher cell count the better. These seem to be spoken of highly. I'm not sure of the particulars on the A90 as my car is still under warranty, but that's generally the direction you want to go...

While I'm not a fan of Italian sports cars like I mentioned, I can definitely say I would prefer early 2000's offerings compared to what is offered in their lineups today.

Its all subjective, but personally I would keep the 45th. I'm not a fan of white. Even if I was, or it was a different color, I'd probably still keep the 45th over the final. The brakes are enticing, but I just like the cosmetic packaging on the 45th more. The final edition does have some...

My honest take is I'd prefer the 45th anniversary car over the watered down final editions the US/Canada markets received. That Mikan Blast is an awesome color imho. Granted the final edition will likely fetch a higher resale price in the future but if you are planning on actually driving it...

I'd be willing to say sure, some oil additives probably do provide some benefit in some applications, but the thing is, with almost anything I suppose, is nuance. It may help in one application, but is it noticeable and cost effective? aka does the juice justify the squeeze? I think you would...

Put the car in neutral and see if the noise goes away; I'm not expecting it to, but something is better than nothing. The car is stationary, so you can reasonably eliminate anything suspension or propulsion related since no load is being placed on the chassis either aside from what the car...

While I would never spend that much on an italian sports car, let alone one that is 20 years old, this does serve as a decent example: the value we inherently place in cars we love does not necessarily abide by financial or even acceptable logic at times. This guy wanted a 20 year old Italian...

One of the first places I checked, its probably going to have to be done through toyota, unfortunately. Do dealers have an EPC on their website over there in the EU? I basically just need someone able to read the language (my german is pretty poor) to see if its in the EPC yet, or if theres a...

3.0, same as before, got kinda lucky that another one came in just like it with better conditions.

Yeah the sales guy was like "take the cheaper one with the two keys and fresh tires and low miles and save a grand while doing it." Their algorithm decides all of that, and I guess it just happened to work in my favor on that one. I am not complaining whatsoever.

If you want to check the part number by all means. I could be wrong here, but I *think* the standard part number for the silver trim that you mentioned ends in 01. So if what you're saying holds true (and if you bought a black one, that would track) and the black one is 02. Edit: I plugged...

For anyone finding this at a later point in time: I ended up returning the car for essentially a same spec supra that came in afterwards. While I can't say for sure what caused the other car to activate VSC, This second one does not do that (and neither did my first Supra.) The only variable...

Typically I'd be right behind you, but my search to pickup another supra after I regretfully sold my last one has taken me coast to coast. At this point I was tired of traveling and Carmax's 10 day return policy, plus the car being down the street was enough for me to deal with the price. I was...

Specifically for the Final Edition cars. I'm really trying to source the lower plastic trim piece on the steering wheel, or even the whole wheel itself if that can't be found. On JDM and EU spec final edition cars it has the GR logo, and I've wished since 2023 that toyota would do that, and...

While I can't speak for your friends qualifications, if it were me, I'd be asking myself if I had to do the research for said friend, and if it was their first supra, would I want my car being the test case? Granted its not my car but if it were me I'd be considering that as well.

Just a heads up for anyone buying these: The company seems mostly open about what they are doing, but I feel someone needs to put some emphasis on the fact that these are *cloned keys* and not oem fresh replacements so you still have whatever lost key still paired to your car and technically...
