Hand wash is always better. I did our LC 500, Tundra, 4Runner, and '20 YXZ1000R, on Saturday. Took ~ 4 hours, since the Tundra and YXZ needed road salt removed (underside and engine bay get attention), from the last interstate trip. Recently started using a brush designed for cars, with a long...

...and the gain over stock CAT.

I was told 1-2 months, ~2weeks ago, by the dealer I'm planning to order from.

The Supra MKV has a factory oil cooler. Do you have high oil temps?

The new Supra has 3 radiators cooling things down as well. Matter of fact, Toyota built in excess cooling capacity, then partially blocked the large front/center air intake. Tool out the stock vent grille for instant added air flow through that nice big air intake. Use the right oil, change it...

I recall a BMW "running hot" issue before. It's been over 5 years ago, but IIRC, one of BMWs' new release turbo I6 cars was running high oil temps, even reaching limp mode, in stock form. They gave the finger to buyers, who found the work around was installing a oil cooler. BMW then turned...

...and the Z4 is like $15K more. I'm not excusing bad dealership experiences, that can be had with any make. In my case, excepting recalls/TSBs and "free" oil changes, I do my own service work. After I get the deal I'm happy with, I'm more concerned with the quality of the product and any...

Saw Dings COTA videos. He's putting the A90 to good use. Fast...Let us know if any news surfaces on special bleeding requirements.

Yeah, that's got less than an ice cubes' chance in hell of happening. Comment was a tongue in cheek attempt at taking the edge off all the complaints about BMW building the A90. On that, I do feel like there's something a bit disingenuous about re-badging a car built by another company, but this...

Who knows...maybe Nissan will go as far as to source the B58 I6 for the the new Z, and beat Toyota to the punch by bolting on the existing compatible MT! That'll calm the drama between Toyota and BMW right down...or, what the heck, just add a 3rd car to the Z4/Zupra line in Austria.

She's a screamer...

Looks good. To my taste, black wheels get visually lost, to a degree, and minimize the positive aesthetic potential of a given wheel. What you've done is an example. Black wheels are everywhere...enough. The '21 Supra I have a deposit on comes with forged black wheels, and aftermarket forged...

Yes, you should always get your alignment checked after changing ride height. Sometimes, the car may not be in spec when it leaves the factory. A good alignment shop will have corner scales, but corner weighting is not involved in oem spec alignments. I've never paid $500, even for corner...

I prefer the I6 for the Supra myself, as my car will see only occasional track days at COTA, and the stock '21 power is plenty for me in a ~3300lb car-no major mods planned. Seems to me just about any internal combustion engine can have an appealing note, with the right exhaust. :)

Given the choice, I'd always prefer to hear the engine note under load rather than free revved. Streetable examples:

At least 2 of these are I4s:

I've never heard anyone say this before, and I've been around a while. There are endless examples of 4 cylinder engines, especially in motorsports, that sound incredibly badass. My '16 Yamaha R1 sounded pretty freaking awesome with the tune and pipe I did. I also enjoyed the engines notes of my...

I don't see how. The ABS is a in-line pressure bleed/reduction valve. Never heard of one retaining fluid after a good system bleed. I've upgraded brake fluid in many cars for track use. All had ABS, cycled fluid through each wheel bleeder with full color change apparent as the old fluid was bled...

That's helpful info. Maybe we'll get some ear candy from the NA 2.0 before long.

Anyone heard clip of the noise the 4 banger makes? All the release videos I've seen have music instead of engine sounds...audibly disappointing. Post a link if you've found one. Have the 2020 3.0 exhaust systems been consistent across all markets?
