Yokohama Advan tyres have been around for ages. Don't know if Advan wheels are related but a lot of the Japanese wheels are just rebranded from the manufacturer.

Looks great Eric!

I'm up in Newcastle from time to time. (to us southerners that's basically Scotland ;) so easy to push on a bit further). I'd join if I'm free at the time.

I'd be more worried about the dealers doing this than 'enthusiasts'

Garage-D did the work. Gear changes are now MUCH quicker. Feels more like a dual clutch now. In fact, we may wind it back a bit for road use as the changes are a bit too violent. www.garage-d.com

Stage 1 engine and gearbox remap and it's transformed the car. Well worth it!

I'm not worried. I'm in the UK so it may be different but there are very few being made available by Toyota so it'll always be rare. They are good cars that can be made great with a few basic mods. Most will be babied too, the toughest thing thrown at them being carrying golf bats to the local...

I actually found the same as you but others said it wasn't a problem. It now pulls nice and strong throughout the rev range, even higher up.

Hi everyone, I've been working with Garage-D in Berkhamsted (recently moved from Watford) on some stage tuning options for my new Supra. I've been running their stage 1 engine and gearbox tune for nearly a week now and it's transformed the car! Snappy gear changes, more power of course...

I totally agree with this. In the UK we had to place a deposit a year before cars were delivered and 8 months before we could drive them. So I bought on the Supra name and confidence that it would be good. Had it been a 90-100k car I probably would have gone for something else ( a used cayman...

It looks like a body kit from a different car that's been stuck on. Not for me I'm afraid for the same reasons as A70TTR above.

£175,000 in the UK which is cheap compared to an equivalent Porsche or Aston but obviously it's a race car only. GRMN sounds interesting. I hope current mkV owners are offered first dibs. I wonder how they'll compare price/spec-wise to keeping and modifying a standard car?

The dealers in the UK were totally out of the loop. The only contact the buyers have/had with Toyota wasn't't given any information to pass on. It made the whole buying process a chore and almost cost them my order. I think the Toyota marketing and sales department have a hell of a lot to...

I stopped reading when I saw Jalopnik in the link. That website has some of the worst researched, poorly written automotive content on the internet.

Looks great! I'd powder coat black and add a thin red stripe to match the engine cover.

No worries. I went to high school in Belgium where I found out and wondered why it wasn't a requirement elsewhere. It seems like such a sensible idea.

In the UK Toyota called the 'launch edition' the 'A90'. Therefore, I'll call it the A90.

Still looks too "stuck on" to me which I don't think suits the lines of the Supra. Maybe it'll grow on me.

It's a legal requirement in some countries (Belgium for example) but not all.

I think we're all thinking the same tay. I'm working on something that will give an increase in volume too.
