Very interested for my office. Would like to see color options and sizing. I think each color the A90 is produced in would be nice so we could all chose what color we own (even if we sometimes regret not getting turbulent gray or downshift blue)
Have to disagree here on multiple points (doing my best to leave aside my personal choice to purchase a professional coating)
I had Modesta applied to my Supra after PPF. My jeep is used as a therapeutic test vehicle for correction, coatings and longevity testing. I leave it outdoors on purpose...
I know it’s heavily edited but man, the shadow he caught in your door just makes it. Fantastic angle for definition and capturing the lines of the body. Great catch, following your car now.
It may just be my taste but I’ll be the first to say - these CF pieces look terrible. Maybe I am being overly critical. The sides of the front splitter completely ruin the front bumper for me, protruding past the wheels/tires considerably. Looks out of place, compared to relatively subdued...
2021 here with 4500 miles as of 10 minutes ago. 1000 miles since first service. “Spirited” break in, kept inter their recommended speed and RPM but I didn’t hold back getting to that 4500RPM limit :) Some very minimal oil burn at the 3500 mile service I chose, less than half a quart. Absolutely...
The Supra is an extremely difficult vehicle to apply PPF to, especially the front bumper. Things will get better as cutting templates start to come from film manufacturers. I have STEK film, with some of the new Suntek reaction on my mirror caps and pillars. Different film has different...
400 miles of mountain thrashing yesterday. Ton of heat in these always surprising PSS tires, approaching brake fade at some points and testing the different traction modes. Full traction control is impressive at keeping you glued but giving power back almost immediately. “Sport traction” needs...
For those of you who purchased AMS wind deflectors, the CF weave is a pretty poor match to the OEM CF mirror caps. I’m interested in trying to find a closer option.. all ideas and/or pics are welcome.
That video is grossly misrepresentative of:
1: the Corvette and Supra’s launch capabilities. Corvette is still in break in mode in that vid. Plenty of videos showing the supra doing much better than that against the c8.
2: Comparison of the supra and Carrera S. A friend of mine has a 2021...
I disagree, simply being analytical. There are many mechanical engineering theories out there in other industries with no definitive answer on why things are done certain ways. It’s more fun to speculate sometimes... I’m not losing any sleep over it.
Thanks for the replies. I am very enthusiastic about the platform and am already enjoying the car plenty. A thought that came last night:
Toyota (or BMW for that matter) dealerships have no clue about this break in. I don’t find this surprising, but even regarding the owners manual it isn’t...
I’m sure we’ve all read what’s been said here and BMW forums concerning break in procedures for the b58. Lets avoid the “it’s your car, your warranty” rabbit hole. Surely we have a great engine, but the “Germans know best” argument is dependent on what part of history you’re looking at...
I’d...
Sounds like we have a group building. I’ll update the original post soon with a poll for some dates. Highest voted date wins and I’ll make some reservations at Fontana. Some things to consider:
-If you’re running E85 you’re out of luck up there for fuel.
-Expect significant tire wear even if...
Received my car back this weekend and gave it a good 300 miles of break in through the mountains. Learning the dynamics of the platform little by little while keeping it below the nanny 4500rpm. The 21 definitely is more composed through corners than the 20 I drove at the expense of some under...
It’s incredible.. but exhausting. You won’t want to do it more than 3-4 times in a day. The surrounding roads are really great too and I almost prefer them. The speed limit on the dragon is 25mph and if you can actually do 25mph around some of those corners you’re nuts.
