Yup totally spot on. People immediately heard BMW and then somehow catapulted the A80 Supra into something that was this holy grail of JDM and that BMW should never touch it. And yet we forget that the E36 M3 was released around the exact same time and was a beast of a machine. And to its...

Yeah again i'm not arguing these werent amazing cars. I just think nostalgia plays a very good trick on the brain when remembering things that were great. Like for me, i had a 1995 Eclipse GST. I loved that car, my first turbo and fast sports car for that matter. I remember it handling and...

@DesmoSD I think you're kinda taking my original comment kinda out of context tbh. I wasnt actually attempting to compare the two. I was just using the S2000 as an example of a car that in essence lived up to its own legend in its stock form. I'm not saying that there were NO Supras on the...

So i got myself a set of Titan 7 T-S5 wheels. Specs are 19x9.5 +34 Fronts and 19x11 +40 rears. I was thinking of doing MPSS tires in 275/35/19 fronts and 295/35/17 rears. Will i have any rubbing anywhere? I'm on stock suspension.

what are you loling to? If its to the first part, well i think thats understandable, all people ever show nowadays is the Supra beating people in drag races and whatnot. I havnt seen a single MKIV video of it going around a track and getting really good laptimes. Maybe you thought i was...

Right but my point is these are all modified. We already know the engine is fantastic. But stock for stock, i think people are expecting too much. I mean yes the Supra was the supercar killer of the day, and granted i was still in my early teens when the car came out so i wasnt as into it as...

I wonder if a lot of the complaints we are getting are from people who are expecting something from a car that technically really existed. What i mean is, the MKIV Supra was a great car for sure. But it was made legendary by two things. Fast and Furious and the 2jZ-GTE. The thing is, the...

lol nah i'mma stick with my 91 haha

I am in the US so i imagine some things might be different. I also got mine off of Toyota.com and it has numbers for Ethanol but not octane. I did notice that it did say recommend. As far as i'm aware, recommend means you can use either. Required means you HAVE to use whatever octane is...

Oh there will definetly be a difference in performance at sea level. however based on the manual it looks like Toyota says its safe to run any octane rating (whithin reason). It does not mention that performance would stay the same nor would i expect it to.

This is all true except this is only the case if both types of fuel are being detonated at the same time. Due to your ECU pulling timing when it detects lower octane fuel, it can sometimes take more fuel to achieve combustion and there fore you are using more gas to go the same distance. Now...

So here is a bit of interesting information i found. In the Owners Manual for the 2021 Supra. It doesnt specifically say what octane is required or recommended. it even states that we can use E25 or lower in order to fill up the car and drive. The only things that it is a hard no on, are...

I do wonder how much the higher altitude comes into play here. Its already well known that at higher altitude where the air is thinner, turbo engines already have a hard time performing, so him losing more performance by jumping to 87 wouldnt feel much different. However my only concern is the...

Yes RCF haha, i knew something sounded wrong. And i do apologize, my mind runs faster than i can type properly, my quip about it driving like an RCF was less because the chassis would be the same but more towards how everyone keeps talking about how the Supra drives "like a bmw". Yeah i do...

Closest i can think of is the M240i, but even then the Supra is a much more capable car than the M240i

It was a cost saving measure in terms of R&D and manufacturing. Remember if Toyota wanted to stick with an Inline 6, they would have to develop a new engine from the ground up. Thats millions of dollars right there. And then they would have to develop a new platform as well. Again, more...

You wont find a brand new 2021 for under 50k. 51k is more doable if you can manage to squeeze invoice out of them but thats going to be hard. One of the biggest pieces of advice i can give is try and buy from your biggest Toyota dealer. Make sure they are one of the highest in units moved for...

Wow i'm impressed. Is this Palo Alto California? I was talking to them but the salesguy that i got was being a total douche. Basically wouldnt budge on price for a 3.0 Premium and was telling me that the A91 that was coming in had a markup of like 7000$. I ended up driving up to Redding for...

Tuning a BRZ will get you nowhere. I had a BRZ and the best i could manage was 200 whp with catless headers, downpipe and E85 on an aggressive tune. If you want to make any sort of power you HAVE to go Forced Induction. That alone will essentially make up the cost of what you would pay for a...

Honestly if it does happen in 2025 i'm selling my current S2k and i'm getting that. On the original topic, i did consider a Type R. Its practical, has a great MT, decent power, handles great and personally i think it looks cool. However for the price it was a hard pill to swallow. It got to...
