CDV delete is absolutely worth it particularly for 1-2 shifts, but be aware that the purpose of the CDV is to shift the warranty burden for poor manual driving from the driveline components that are warrantied (trans, drive shaft, diff, half shafts) to the one that isn't (clutch.) I feel like...

Anyone know if this timer can be adjusted with Bimmercode?

Guy's a Toyota tech, the whole thing is interesting or I wouldn't have posted it.

Learned a couple of things from this video.

I have not noticed any change to the way my 6MT drives with the AC on. Most newer cars will disengage the AC compressor automatically if you go WOT. I know what you're talking about though, my Tacoma (4.0L V6) drives like a completely different vehicle with the AC on. It's not the cut in...

The purpose of the CDV is to shift the burden of poor driving from warrantied parts (axles, differential, transmission gears) to non-warrantied parts (the clutch.)

Not to keep beating the aFe drum (feel like I'm shilling for them at this point) but given the four V-bands that hold everything together, it's really easy to dial in the fitment and get things positioned correctly. Just work your way front to back a couple of times turning things and you're...

Do y'all get like a Prius spec exhaust or something? The USDM cars are comically quiet stock for a two seater sports car.

Given the situation with manuals and dealer availability in the US, they could have made 100% of the 2023 production manual and we'd likely still be seeing limited availability here. There's a lot of pent-up demand and nowhere near enough supply to satisfy it. ETA: given that Toyota pre-plans...

Speaking to my particular car, which is 100% stock '23 6MT except for the cat-back and has the aFe resonator delete, it's decently louder with the valve open. At interstate speeds (70+ freedom units, in the hundreds of science units) there is some drone but hitting the sport mode button to...

A lot of what you're hearing is through the speakers. Disable that, and the exhaust note is almost inaudible inside.

Indeed. For b, you'll want an exhaust that retains the valve and also has a meaningful difference between the quiet side and loud side. A lot of Supra exhausts (including the OEM one, bizzarely) really don't have that much difference with the valve. I'm a big fan of my aFe Takeda with their...

If my Tetris game is decent, I can fit 2/3rd of a cart full of groceries in the back!

So on this topic, I find the Supra to be more fun around town than my GT350 was. In the Supra, you can short-shift and still have power available almost everywhere in the rev range. The GT350 it didn't come to life until 4000RPM.

Cable shifter on the Honda transaxle vs remote mount shifter with solid-ish linkage on the Supra transmission. The vibrations and movement of the engine/trans are not transmitted to the shifter in your Type R. They are to a degree in the Supra. That's all.

Only one way to find out. ;)

The transmissions you're comparing it to can handle a lot more torque reliably, and I suspect this isn't true of the Supra's ZF. But it must be said that it shifts effortlessly, like how you'd expect a car with half it's power to shift. Some of the feel goes out the window with that, I...

The out of the box experience on the MT definitely leaves something to be desired. I would not claim that it's a top-tier manual experience. Doing the clutch delay valve delete and putting an exhaust on that you can actually hear in-cabin did wonders for the experience though. I definitely...

Nah, keeping it to return the car back to factory spec when/if I decide to sell or trade. Use the VIN of a A91-MT to get the part number for that alcantara shift knob/boot and order it. Here's a VIN I found on a for-sale listing: WZ1DB0G03PW055553. Email or call your dealer and they'll get...

They can't be separated unless you start cutting.
