Many companies are having supply chain issues. I'll give them up to two weeks to get my exhaust system shipped.

I recently ordered and received springs and handling kit, directly from Dinan. They arrived within one to 1.5 weeks. Today I ordered their exhaust with a projected ship date of 6/16. I have noticed that credit card banks are getting more and more cautious. Sometimes their default response for...

You may want to ask the parts guy at the dealership when he or she is not busy.

I already have two quarts of Liqui Moly 0W-20 that meets ACEA C5 and API SN standards, so when I do need to change my own oil, this is what I'll use + another 5 quarts. When the dealership does the second (and last) free oil change in November, I may have them capture some of the used oil so I...

I'll have the Dinan springs installed within the next two days. They'll lower the car 0.7" rear and 1.0" front. I'll report back after I've had a chance to put some miles on them.

The funny thing is that there were at least 3-4 in my town (all Mikan Blast). One got totaled, so there is one less for now. Only 450 of these were made, world wide, so having this many in one city is odd. Fortunately, I see others only when there is a group Supra event. I can say this, it...

Just as I thought. BMW recommends the same oil that Toyota recommends.

This post makes me want to get a permanently-mounted video cam.

There's a giant "South OC C & C event, this Saturday, the 24th, starting at 8:30 or 9 AM. I'm sure you'll find lots of MKV Supra owners there. A bunch of us San Diego area owners will be there.

That's because the video was done 5 years ago, before Borla was selling their exhaust system in volume numbers. Currently, you can choose between carbon fiber tips or stainless steel look. (not sure if those are polished) I think the carbon fiber ones look best. And you're correct about their...

Thanks for your input. I had a Borla catback, 20 years ago on my C5. The sound was very impressive and never irritating at high engine speeds.

After watching this video, I have high respect for Borla guy who was interviewed in this video. Many exhaust manufacturers fail to mention drone abatement technology. This guy talks about why it is important.

Ah, then I would suspect that years of vibration had loosened a component. After a few years of use with Eibach springs in my previous car, a squeaking noise pointed to a slightly loose bolt or nut. The shop that installed them, along with Koni shocks, tightened the bolts up at no charge.

Who installed the springs? I'm guessing that you did; otherwise, you would've taken your car back for inspection and correction.

Based upon what I've read, EXPEL and STEK are much better than what dealerships have, although I have not compared them. I have more than half of my car PPFed with STEK. The bumper, hood, fenders, doors, side skirts, and pillars were covered. After a year and a half, most of the small PPF dings...

Mostly bragging rights when it comes to street driving. My 0-60 in 3.7 seconds is fast enough for me.

PM sent!

Don't forget to look into the history of the Toyota/BMW collaboration for development of the GR Supra:

Where details are not given, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Follow the book and you and your car will be fine. I decided before I bought my new Supra that after reading pages of comments from people here, many saying they drove from the dealership to a racetrack to beat the heck out their...
