Looks like the radar sensor or adjustment aim. Phil

My gearbox shifts just fine. If I was going to be nitpicky it is occasionally a bit balky upshifting into 4th gear but thats usually just short shifting and me being a bit lax. The rev match and CDV have nothing to do with shift action. As long as the the clutch fully releases correctly then the...

I disagree. New government regulations drives requirements for thinner oils. It's a cheap way to make fuel consumption targets. If heavier weight oils were being usurped by light weight oils then heavier weight oils would be disappearing from the mainstream market which they aren't. Phil

I will when they're over. Phil

I remember doing Track days before there was any such thing. We called them open practice days back then and they were held the Wednesday before a scheduled race meeting at that particular track. The only requirement was a current race licence. It was cars of any type, carts and bikes. Twenty...

Also from the Vid "GKN do this weird thing called a face spline" It's a Hirth coupling and it's been around for almost 100 years. Phil

Funny you should mention this but I can still remember race engines that ran on Castrol R a Vegetable based oil race oil. As a lubricant it was very very good but had maintenance downsides that made it hard work. You could always tell the engines running on R as exhaust had a very distinctive...

Drain a pint of oil out of it and see it it continues. Oil level overfilled is the most likely culprit. Phil

Most of it looks like handling issue before packing to ship and stressing the parts during mould removal. Some looks like ham fisted mould line dressing down. Disappointing I guess but par for the course these days. At the price point they are charging I'm doubting they are made in the USA so...

Dealers, how to organise the dumbest most costly indirect route to the solution. Phil

Yep and then they fix the original defect and introduce another 3 removing and installing trim panels and breaking clips etc. My wifes Kia has an annoying dash area buzzy vibration but the last think I'm going to do is get it looked at as a warranty job. I have nightmare images of the mechanic...

Hope you didn't leave it parked there in that spot unattended for like 60 seconds or someone in a beater or a removal van would have parked right next to your Supra. Phil

Hows the wheel hop now? Phil

Ear plugs are what you need or you'll be spending far more than that on therapy. Phil

This^. I'm 6"2" with long arms and my left arm sits naturally over the cup holders. The blanks are a big plus for me. Phil

That hoods a pretty average paint match. Phil

I've had them fitted to my car since day 1. Easy to get. Phil

You need to scope the cylinders after it's cooled down from normal operating temps. There is a failure mode for head gaskets where they seal fine at operating temp but leak into the cylinder during cool down mode. You'll get white smoke and possibly a misfire during a cold start esp after...

I can guarantee with 100% surety that the car will be heavier with it fitted. Phil

Personally I wouldn't accept replacement pistons, I'd want a short block replacement at the very least. Issues with bore honing and piston clearances is the issue and the competence of the Toyota or BMW tech doing the work these days. What people need to consider is latent issues introduced by...
