  1. 2020 plastic oil pump

    There are plenty of 6-ports with plastic pumps. This is well-documented. It's interesting that Toyota changed the bolt grade from 8.8 to 10.9, though.
  2. 2020 plastic oil pump

    There is no specific model year that permanently or conclusively switched away from the plastic pump, and there's no evidence that oil weight has anything to do with the failure mode. There's also no evidence that oil weight doesn't cause the failure mode. The video's assertion is just...
  3. XHP Stage 3 experience

    Yeah, you have to manual swap your supra. It's the only way.
  4. Hochman fabrication exhaust

    You bet your ass it does. If you've never used a 4" diameter single exit exhaust before, you will soon learn it's just about the worst drone you could possibly experience.
  5. Hochman fabrication exhaust

    That's $900 more than I spent for a custom 4" single exit that also uses oval tubing, TIG welding, and full stainless. Don't get this if you don't like drone. You will become drone. But lordy it sounds amazing at WOT.
  6. ISTA ISTEP Versions

    I agree with you @dAPEX. ISTA is definitely required for certain repair procedures, such as bleeding the brakes when all four corners have been opened. You cannot reliably bleed the ABS pump without ISTA, and brakes will remain mushy. This is just one example of how a subscription-backed tool...
  7. Hood and bumper fitment

    Part number 53111WAA01, which Toyota calls a "grille radiator" but is neither a grille nor a radiator. It seems to serve no other purpose beyond giving structure and support to the dead center of the bumper cover. And reinstalling it low or high will throw off the overall bumper height.
  8. Shadow codes after full Femto unlock

    I always have 24000B, and can no longer remember a time when I didn't.
  9. Hood and bumper fitment

    Height of the bumper against the nose of the hood is also influenced by the overall height and rearward position of the bumper cover. There is a black "shell" endoskeleton under the teardrop at the central nose of the bumper, and this also controls how high/low the bumper sits. If that was...
  10. XHP Stage 3 experience

    Stage 3 is functionally similar to Stage 2, except it makes the shift points more aggressive. This is not a wear concern, but some people find Stage 3 too aggressive/uncomfortable.
  11. Toyota Teases GR Line Up: Supra MK6, Celica MK8, MR2 MK4, 86 MK3 and GR GT

    No, I take displeasure when people promote capabilities this technology does not have, and when people continue to lie about those capabilities. It leads to misunderstanding and mistrust for a technology that is actually quite useful, but does have limitations. Chief amongst them: the technology...
  12. Toyota Teases GR Line Up: Supra MK6, Celica MK8, MR2 MK4, 86 MK3 and GR GT

    My job is literally AI models and computing. You don't know what you think you know. Edit: just gonna state for the record that reinforcement training still isn't going to un-camo a car that has no training data. But it will happily hallucinate something for you.
  13. Phase 2 Motortrend Rigid Collars for A90 Supra -- Tips, Tricks, Torque

    The Phase2 collars for the front are still installed, in the prescribed cavities. I continue to question if the front collars are even necessary due to the geometry of the mounting points. As far as I can tell, the angled "wings" that point rearward from the front subframe serve to locate the...
  14. Revshift Subframe Bushing Swap Experience

    Greased them up, rubber mallet home. Could do by hand, but the mallet was easier. These days, I have a bushing press set that would make the job even easier, but this isn't required to complete it. Pressing in the second half of the bushing can just be a bit stiff and tacky, even with grease...
  15. Toyota Teases GR Line Up: Supra MK6, Celica MK8, MR2 MK4, 86 MK3 and GR GT

    Tell me which AI model has trained on an unreleased Toyota car and is capable of rendering a faithful homologated version from a camouflaged/dazzled test vehicle. I'll wait. bro is one of those dudes that outsourced all of his critical thinking to AI, probably asks ChatGPT how to microwave...
  16. Toyota Teases GR Line Up: Supra MK6, Celica MK8, MR2 MK4, 86 MK3 and GR GT

    I should note for the record that AI can't un-camo anything. But it can certainly make shit up while tricking dummies into believing that it can. Can't use the world's most inefficient auto-complete if it's never seen the thing before.
  17. Toyota Teases GR Line Up: Supra MK6, Celica MK8, MR2 MK4, 86 MK3 and GR GT

    it's already been confirmed that this is just a shell fitted to a class-specific tube frame. We have no way of knowing if the size or proportions are similar to the intended production vehicle, or if it's just "reminiscent".
  18. XHP Stage 3 experience

    Yes. But that hasn't stopped this community from inventing utter bullshit about Stage 3.
  19. Low-cost Alternative to Intake Manifold???

    I've contemplated DIYing what I think you're about to do. Even with a yuuuge manifold, I'd still line up to buy. More is better.
  20. Battery Disconnect Switch?

    I'm sure there are hundreds in circulation. Most (all?) race classes require one. What's the real question?
