  1. Black Stone Report

    Fourth oil change, however (due to reasons...) this was the first analysis. Stated oil interval is 8500 but it was probably closer to 9000 - I forgot to write it down and was too lazy to dig up receipts to calculate exactly. I would definitely say the factory 10K period is absolute maximum...
  2. If I had a dollar for every ____ that wanted a piece of the Supra…

    Same here... actually almost all the cheap Nissans now that I think about it... I've had several Sentra's that seemed determined to test 100+ on the freeway. No thanks. Oh also every VW 4-cyl. esp Jettas. Ironically, all of the cars that could pull on me don't bother. Most of the time I roll...
  3. Snow foam pictures… why?

    I can't wash mine at all... I'm 60% of the way to free black wheels and black exhaust tips... if I gave her a bath I'd have to start all over again. :p
  4. New Owner - So Much Hate?

    Probably the same reason they care about the fake vents all over every other sports car over $55K. My memory is bad... can you remind me of which ones those are? I looked all over my Cayman when I owned it and I think they must have forgotten to install them... glad I got rid of that before...
  5. Glove Box Gauges

    For reals... today it didn't even get above 75F... almost had to swich back to pants. ?
  6. How to Improve OE Sub Bass Quality and Eliminate Vibrations

    I picked up one of these years ago and I can't count the number of times it's saved my ass... Particularly useful when you've dropped a plastic fastener and it gets stuck between things in the engine compartment. Would work great for poly-fill removal as well.
  7. 👣 Official: Toyota Announces Manual Transmission Supra!

    Very true... and yet they're still more objective (on balance at least) than audiophile reviews. That's where you realize that nearly all reviewers are just paid to make words appear - not to speak the truth. They're like amateur politicians, I doubt many even believe what they write themselves...
  8. 👣 Official: Toyota Announces Manual Transmission Supra!

    I seriously doubt there are many that would argue a GT4 RS is not an enthusiast's car... at least not honestly. Hyperbole aside, pretty much any car you spend over $150K on requires a healthy amount of enthusiasm for all but a portion of the 1% - even more the case considering production...
  9. 👣 Official: Toyota Announces Manual Transmission Supra!

    I'd like to think so... but it seems there's a new multi-billionaire every 10 minutes these days. Sadly I'm a few billion short myself.
  10. What did you do to your Supra today?

    Yeah, I think you are. :D ~$330 for fronts & rears & sensors every ~50K miles (assuming that's about when your fronts will need it) seems dirt cheap to me. Then again, every consumable part that's less expensive than tires seems like a bargain on a sports car. The fronts have much more...
  11. 👣 Official: Toyota Announces Manual Transmission Supra!

    That really would be amazing considering they're probably only going to have enough DME's for the first 100. :D
  12. Whistling/humming noise

    In general, traction and noise will be proportional (or resolution inversely so) - at least that's been my experience. I went with PS4S and they're a bit louder than the OE PSS rubber... but I'm happy to make the trade because the handling is improved. I'd bet that the DWS06's will be a much...
  13. Cost to own a Supra

    It does help some even with the windows up... not much of course, but there was a noticeable reduction in "whistling" against the windows at 80+ after adding the fix. Although I found it practically unbearable even at 40mph... so YMMV.
  14. ► APEX | SM-10 Future Colors Survey - Concluded.

    I'd agree with you except for the fact that on Nitro Yellow... black wheels just look so good IMO. If I had any other color (except black, since I like the murdered look) I'd agree. Bronze looks pretty good on yellow too, but still a distant second to black for me. @APEXRaceParts - thanks for...
  15. Cost to own a Supra

    Especially now that you'll spend more than that in gas every week if it's your daily. :( Paying $120 every 6-8 months for oil and filter is pretty good all things considered (although the next time I expect the shop will have upped it to $150 with the way inflation is going). I'd say in 35K...
  16. Transmission Flashing Coming Soon

    As discussed in other threads... the most important part of this is that it has STAGES!!! :D Seriously though, if only they could do this for Toyota transmissions... no price would be too high for that IMO. Even stock the ZF8 is coded 1,000% better than anything they've done with their own...
  17. FIXED: Speaker hiss even when muted?

    Here it includes the HUD, BSM, JBL audio upgrade, and Apple Carplay I think... can't remember for sure but it's all safety and entertainment stuff - not performance. You can see the differences here... looks like leather seats and wheel as well vs. leather "trimmed".
  18. ECU update

    IOS 12.1 is the latest, right? :cool: 2016 was a good year...
  19. ECU update

    Amen brother! If I develop the shakes or lose the ability to push the brake pedal while starting it... then I'll worry about it. Don't use carplay, already have 35K miles on the car, and I will keep it as a permanent project once the OE drivetrain craps the bed... so meh. Also aliens or...
