Just watched it for the first time. It was a scale used to measure the amount of force it would take to dislodge the plug. While obviously not a 1:1 comparison with real-world situations, it's about as reasonable of a test as you're going to get. The key takeaway is that he could not dislodge...

No really though, what Supra-based video game did you steal that cover from? ?

Funny! I'm right down the street, off of Airport Rd in Monroe, and go through Stallings all the time. Can't believe I've never seen your car, it stands out a good bit! And it's silver on red, not red on silver ?

Haha, fantastic explanation. Sounds amazing. I was worried you had poor attention to detail, but it seems it’s quite the opposite! Any plans to do a TEq logo? I would absolutely love that. And I’m not sure where I’m Charlotte you are, but if you ever need a silver on red to model some stuff...

Why is the center oval so wide? And the top oval doesn’t curve in before the top of the logo, like the actual Toyota logo. Does it have to be slightly different to dodge lawyers? How is the titanium attached to the carbon fiber? And I assume the carbon fiber is flat, correct? Thanks!

It does not, according to Toyota. That's a tough one to integrate with a manual trans.

Nice, thanks for that! I may have them do some stuff for me in the next couple of months. The dealers here are such a crapshoot. I've heard nothing but good about T&C sales, but nothing but bad (aside from my friend with an 86 who just uses them for oil changes) about service. I've heard...

Going to assume that was our friendly, most-local Toyota dealer. Where do you normally go? If they've been handling your collection, I'm sure they're worth a look :) The radar calibration is a CYA thing. It's WAY overkill - but like I said before, if you go by the book, the radar should be...

This is a proper piece of kit, I'm genuinely surprised it hasn't sold yet. Good luck with it!

Makes sense! Yeah, I definitely understand. Good luck with it!

Good luck! I bet you could get closer to $80k - but after some of the things that have happened to me lately (like my Model 3 Performance value tanking by $15k in the course of 2 weeks), I would take it and run. If you're just as happy to keep it though, I'm sure you can get it. This market is...

Definitely stealing that line. I love that. ? (Yes I know it's actually true for you)

Watch me, I'll rotate the living SHIT out of them. :drive:

Yeah, don't get me wrong, it will be a really cool one-off project for some Youtuber to get rich off of, but it's miles away from something that will be practical or reasonable to build in any regard. I remember the forums back in the day, littered with people who wanted to convert their FWD...

You would basically be making a better-looking, but worse M240i xDrive, without a back seat, for MUCH more money. Plus the M240i is available in purple.

I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm just saying there's a lot more that the dealer has to account for in their numbers, as they're obligated to do it by the book. When I got my alignment done, I went to Soho Motorsports, who is a Z shop. They did an exemplary job, as I would expect of a high-end...

What the book pays (3-4 hours or whatever) makes sense. We're talking about a dealership, who has relatively little experience with a Supra at all, etc. The book also calls for replacing a bunch of parts that most people wouldn't replace, etc. Lowest common denominator. The radar calibration...

It will be mounted up high, since it's the curtain airbag. Here's a crappy technical drawing to show how it mounts. Tons of room for wiring in the lower part, honestly.

I was curious as well, so I dug it up. The install instructions are on the product page... it actually looks incredibly easy! @Deighvid probably just sold a few of these things. Haha https://carbonexauto.com/products/toyota-a9x-supra-hood-latch-handle-lhd

Hah, it could also be that he knew it booked for 3-4 hours, but had no idea why! That would have resulted in your car being there for several days, when he realized that he needed to order the fancy mirror tool for aligning the sensors, etc.
