Sometimes they run a water pump too, then you’ve got real problems!!! No idea if that’s the case on a B58. Last engine I put a spanner to was a K20. Don’t like the idea of a compressor that can’t turn when it fails though. That doesn’t sound great at all.

Looks as though some don’t think they’re the best from a safety point of view. Not to be regarded anywhere near in the same league as recaro, bride, sparco etc, but the price should make that obvious. Not recommended for track use. Made in China and no FIA approval. Some question how they’d...

No idea how well regarded they are as a company but Braum make some beautiful looking seats in tan: https://www.braumracing.com/product/elite-x-series-racing-seats-british-tan-leatherette-pair/

When I’ve had brembos resprayed in the past the decals just went on top. The vinyls now are pretty hard wearing. One thing that is worth doing I think are the wheel ceramic coatings. I do both calipers and wheels on a new car. There’s enough in the bottle to do it all. This was the kit I used...

I think with the supra being such a capable car in the performance department it’s one car that I probably would have an argument for coilovers on. I’ve been watching the Misha Charoudin YouTube videos and his appraisal of the supra being developed with Bilstein. From what I can gather there...

Springs was the first thing I wanted to change when I get my car. I was going to get the Z4/eibach ones. Is this an issue mainly with H&R or are owners on other springs seeing the same thing? Last thing I want is for a brand new car to have issues early in its life.

Real drivers ONLY drive targa so unless Toyota bring out a PROPER enthusiast version of the Supra WITH the targa which OBVIOUSLY it should have come with from the factory,I won’t be buying one. (Bear with me guys, it worked last time)

If you were a Honda fan boy though it were all about them VTEC yoz so you had to ring them out. Different characteristics in different cars and different likes. I’ve never quite gelled with a car like I did with my DC5 fitted with the hybrid racing billet shifter and cables. Boost is also a...

You forgot Grindr I think ?

I know nothing about drones really but shocked to see how quick that thing moves?! How fast actually are they?

When I first heard the announcement it put me in a bit of a predicament because I’ve always driven manuals and the Supra was going to be an experimental purchase to see what I thought about transitioning into an auto. My car isn’t being delivered til August and it crossed my mind on whether I...

It would be interesting to compare logs to a standard car but it does seem as though with more modern engines they are designed to run hot. It has something to do with efficiency I think. The quicker the engine warms the quicker the fuel map can be leaned out by the ECU. Again I’m surmising...

This is the thing. As auto’s go the ZF gets a good rep. I hope the manual doesn’t let the car down. BMW are not renowned for the best of gear shifts. It’s difficult to know what to do in my case with mine on order for an august delivery. I’ve always stuck with manuals and the supra was going to...

I really don’t know how you can sleep at night:p

Are you looking to keep the car completely stock throughout ownership? The reason I ask is most owners will spend far more on mods than they ever will on servicing and repairs so it’s all relative. The last German car I owned was around 10 years ago (a bmw) and I’d say the servicing was...

Im in a similar boat thinking about selling my FK8. I know WBAC is the quick route but it would be nice to get more. Trouble is do people buy cars privately for £32k or so these days? I know I couldn’t. I’m always financing so I sort of assume mine will end up having to go to a company rather...

Welcome mate, I’m glad you posted. I’ve felt like the odd one out recently with these other guys ordering and already now driving theirs! Glad I’m not the only one still waiting. it will be worth the wait! I’m told currently end of August but as you said it could always land a little sooner. I...

I’m reviving this one to see if anyone has absolute clarity on this. Do UK cars: A: Still have the “older” 2 port design B: Have a detuned 6 port? For a while now it seems to have been the belief that we get the older 2port but it’s always seemed odd to me from a production line pov. Having to...

Could the issues you mention early in the post re. Mirrors, dash etc be a separate issue to the engine power issue do you think? I watched a few Jackie ding videos and noticed him getting similar issue on some of his laps. I seem to recall him narrowing it down to a TC issue but I don’t know...

So having ordered my Supra in December and still waiting (current ETA being August) I'm keeping myself occupied with looking at various reviews but understandably most of these are US based and theirs differs somewhat from ours as we know. I'm keen to hear from you guys how you're finding...
