So here is the thing, not everything needs to be functional. Surprising I know. The car was driven for hours and no one complained about it overheating. Not the coolant, oil, ATF, brakes, nothing. If you saw the video posted by TFL, Tada even says they blocked the lower half of the grill because...

I wouldn't call them fake. More like place holders and the aftermarket will definitely take advantage of that. DIY threads and videos of how to make them functional will be everywhere same time next year.

If he is being that picky, then the only longitudinal manual transmission out there that would satisfy Tada would be a Tremec out of a Hellcat or a Corvette (TR-6060/6070). But even those have their reliability issues (at +650 lbft nonetheless) and I'm not sure how a Japanese Motor company with...

Can confirm both statements. My V8 swapped 86 just annihilated the stock transmission after about 10,000kms doing a half throttle 4th gear pull. I also swapped the rear end for a taller ratio IS300 diff with +200,000kms and it couldn't careless.

I'm not an expert but if we're being technical, the correct word is Fastback not Hatchback. I've spent a decent amount of time looking for a 1st gen Celica to ignore this lol.

If Toyota did their research, they would know people here don't like black interior due to the summer heat. Here are more videos of it I uploaded.

At least one MKV made it to Dubai

The M240i puts down to the wheels what BMW claims it makes at the flywheel according to multiple sources. But let's look at it from another angle. The M240i with a good launch and decent weather can do the 1/4 mile in 12.3-12.4 seconds. If the MKV is quicker by 0.3s from 0 to 60 that translates...

A 3 second 0 - 60 is actually very possibly with the Alfa's power to weight numbers. Using the same websites I did earlier you get 3.9-4.0 with a "regular" auto and 3.7s with a DCT. That flat plateau is exactly my point. I have noticed it in multiple BMW sourced engine dynos and they're...

Even if the ZF8 shifts as quick as a DCT it would require a little more than 350hp at the flywheel. With a regular Auto transmission, it is almost impossible to get a 4.1s 0 - 60 with less than 400hp. According to online calculators (which are unreliable at best) assuming the MKV weighs...

I don't understand this either, If people buy it then it's successful as an auto and they won't provide a manual. If they don't buy it then it's a failure and they won't spend more money on developing it. My only assumption is they expect people to put a refundable deposit on them and then...

You can literally fit 3 more intercoolers between the engine and the bumper and have one on top of the engine itself. I ain't even gonna be mad when my B58 blows up, a twin turbo V6 is going to fit in there nicely.

True, those two points I did not factor in as I was strictly speaking about how the car looks. Even Toyota likes to compare both the 86 and MKV to the 2000GT.

Even though the Supra name was out of production, the MKIV was still being succeeded (imo) by the LFA (High end), FT-1 (Mid range) and the FT-HS/86 (Low end). They are all Front engine, rear wheel driven coupes that share the same philosophy. LC-F will succeed the LFA, We got the MKV from the...

That engine bay is huge, thought that 2J was a 4 banger for a second. Lots of room for activities.

Decent, yes. But the layout and the narrow seats are a no for me and I'm not a huge person by any means. The 86 on the other hand has less space between the driver and passenger but some how manages to feel spacious. The only complaints I have about it is your passenger can't "manspread" without...

I'm glad people are saying it's as spacious as the 86 rather than a C7 or an R35. The latter 2 get too claustrophobic on long drives.

"But the Supra can't get a TT V6 or anything else, it must have a straight 6!" - Toyota, probably

?

True, they're hard to diagnose when they go bad as well. Hated them on my 86. A port injection solution will be the go to mod when they get old.
