The circled ones are there so that it can still display a signal while the LCD is off - i.e., when you have the car turned off, with the hazard lights on. As for the ones on the LCD, those are there to be in a better location for visibility to the driver, as the ones on top are difficult to see...

The dealer is obligated to perform a radar calibration when they perform and alignment. Any time the thrust angle has a possibility of changing, the system is supposed to be recalibrated. The dealer holds a lot more responsibility in this area than a random shop down the road, as they represent...

Everyone else is going to figure it out eventually. Listen, I wait with open arms for whatever the future brings - I think electric cars are incredible, and hydrogen (especially looking at things like that Hyundai concept) is a more viable way forward, once it's sustainable. I just don't think...

That color is absolutely insane. Pictures don't do it justice - and I'm sure that video doesn't, either! I have to be honest, though - I don't love the red Supra badge on it as much as I thought I would. On the flip-side, I do like the interior MUCH more than I thought I would. Anyway...

Haha, yeah - from what I've seen, it looks to be a decent wheel, but that size is just meh. 9.5" square is still far from ideal, and there's something else going on for $500 for those things. That's still a solid $2000 off from new, plus they're including tires? It's fishy at best. Don't forget...

Back to the tires - that tire is 8% larger in diameter than the stock rear tire. That’s enormous. I’ve owned trucks in my life that came with smaller tires. You’re going to rub constantly. The wheels are really too narrow in the rear - they’re half an inch narrower than the stock rear wheel. Is...

That thing will be rebuilt and back on the market in no time! :D Or maybe when they inevitably reboot the entire Fast & Furious series they can use that for the Supra Brian acquired, and turn it into the hero car. haha

Do you have anything plugged in to the OBD2 port? That will trigger the alarm if you don’t have it coded off.

Took the new Supra in for an alignment at 190 miles. Needless to say, the factory alignment was wonky as shit, as evidenced by the dance the car did the first time I hit the gas hard on the highway! All better now.

Yep, exactly. Carbon fiber wheels are a cool talking point - but for them to have ANY kind of reliability on the street, they need to be somewhat heavy (relatively speaking). Magnesium alloy is definitely where it's at! Litespeed only charges (ONLY, hah) $3400 extra for magnesium - you can get...

Yes! I will never understand people who substantially overpay for cheap cars... Like the BRZ and GR86 going for $40k++. You DO realize that these cars are good *for the money* right? Like, them being cheap is the whole damn point. All of the MK8 Golf Rs around here are going for near-$60k...

Well… not that significant, actually. You’re gaining more from where the weight is on the wheel (I.e., closer to the center) than in actual weight. A typical 19” fully carbon fiber wheel is around 17lbs. A typical 19” aluminum wheel with carbon fiber barrel, like these, is around 20lbs. Not...

Honestly, the crank hub bolt issues were the breaking point for me. Every noise you hear, every time you back off of the throttle hard, etc.... Did that just cost me $5k? Having the proper fix done to prevent the issue really isn't any cheaper, either. Otherwise, I absolutely loved driving the...

Ooh, is it wheelie bars? Tell me it’s wheelie bars! Edit: just in case, yes, I know we don’t need wheelie bars.

This is going to end up being like super lightweight brakes for drag racing or something. Haha

That is the first time I’ve seen the whole kit… why are there so many electronic parts and so much wiring for a mechanical bov? That’s a bit daunting. Haha

Thanks Josh! I just heard ~6 months through another vendor, so it seems like that's what it's going to be! Shame, I want to get something ASAP to get rid of the rattle, and really love the HKS. Looks like I'll be going with the Kansai or get a Cusco and powdercoat it!

Obviously - that's why it's 'today' and not 'next week'.

I'm going to jump to conclusions and assume this is effing massive. Can't wait! Edit: I half expected the response to be "Next week". haha

At least you caught it quickly! So... When might you be able to spread this news?
