New shoes! BC Forged RZ05 brushed black with PS4S.

Ok, so not following factory recommendations and berating people who also don’t follow recommendations but err on the more frequent side. And assuming you know more than they do. Got it.

What’s your recommendation? Dan

The root of the disagreement here is that we don’t seem to have have the same understanding of brake fluid life. Changing your oil at 1k miles is not a fair equivalency to changing your brake fluid every 2 years. It seems you’re assuming that the water absorption, heating of fluid from hard...

Yeah it’s not expensive nor time consuming. This is the factory interval for my sport bikes and got me in the habit of doing it for my passenger cars as well. I think the factory recommendation on most German cars is every 3 years.

Excellent advice. And for a non-track driven car, I’ve always aimed for a brake fluid change every 2 years minimum. Not sure what the Supra factory recommended interval is, but I’m sure someone will chime in and correct me ?

Lots of factors can limit supply, but no I wasn’t saying (and didn’t say) that dealerships can directly limit supply. Dan

No, dealer markups are a coordinated effort to benefit off of limited supply while adding no extra benefit vs the profit they would already make from the car. They also control the supply, as laws in most states force sales through dealerships because of billions of dollars spent on lobbying...

Done, thanks!

Yeah I like the mb style wing on these cars - not sure what’s going on in this thread ?

I’m in the Chicago area and might be interested. How can I keep up with the others in the area for a caravan meet up? Dan

Judging by the poor quality of the wiring, I assumed gaudy ambient lighting or underbody lights ?

I’m sure entire car was salvage based on description of auction, being at shop right away, and dirty seat. Another VIN for the salvage thread!

Been dreaming of these wheels lately in a color like this. Where’d you pick em up? Looks absolutely killer ? Dan

The good folks at MHD got back to me with a 2nd follow-up and also stated that the TCU is in charge of shift points and overall shift strategy, as Phantomx also stated above. Therefore, my assumptions were incorrect and apparently what I’m observing is the stock shifting behavior with the...

Tried stage 0 and stage 1 - seems the same. Also, I overstated the issue - I can tell that throttle % does have an impact on gear selection for all maps. It just seems to bias way too high of a gear and requires too much throttle input to downshift - especially between 30-60MPH in traffic...

Paid. Thanks!

I think you do have to have multi map flashed to control exhaust valve. You hold BC to get in to the MHD+ menu, then short presses of BC to go through the different options. It’s then the little thumb wheel on the left side of the steering wheel to change maps or open/close the exhaust valve. Dan

I’ll take em
