  1. How to Improve OE Sub Bass Quality and Eliminate Vibrations

    Considering how little visibility there is through the ports, you could probably do the job with a Sharpie or other permanent marker rather than worrying about spraying it (either that or just use a small 1" trim roller to coat the area. Either that or do what Bassoony, tadda, and others have...
  2. New Badge

    Exactly the right amount of badges (and chrome) for any car. :thumbsup:
  3. Brake Retrofit

    While it may seem counterintuitive, adding power alone does not necessitate increasing braking power. Provided that you did not increase the weight, drag coefficient, or rolling resistance of the car... it will have the same 60-0 time/distance regardless of whether it goes from 0-60 in 2...
  4. Suggest gear for efficiency?

    I guess I reflect the expectations of the US market then... when I'm in manual mode, fuel efficiency is pretty much the very last thing on my mind. I just use auto and comfort if it's a long cruise.
  5. Suggest gear for efficiency?

    I'm pretty sure I've never seen it either... however, to be fair, when I'm in manual mode and running it out all the way... I'm just paying attention to the road - so the gauges could be showing just about anything and I'd be clueless. :D Since the speed in the picture is in km/h - maybe this...
  6. Finally! GR86

    Looks like 300% more fun than a Prius... and that's a conservative estimate. ;) Congrats!
  7. Toyota Should Be ASHAMED - Pathetic parts support

    Exactly. Right now there's an inexplicable shortage on distilled water where I live. I could wave a stack of 100's in the face of every Vons employee and still leave with nothing more than "drinking water". All distilled water requires is a heat source and a condensation tank... and should be a...
  8. How to Improve OE Sub Bass Quality and Eliminate Vibrations

    Yep... that's how I was at first as well. Luckily it drives well enough to make me forgive the audio quality and build quality (or lack thereof). I came from a Lexus RC-F with the Mark Levinson system - and while that car had no rattles, much nicer interior, much better audio, etc. - there has...
  9. How to Improve OE Sub Bass Quality and Eliminate Vibrations

    That actually doesn't sound that bad (but could be captured poorly and much worse in person). I'd check to make sure that the hatch cover is firmly clicked in place but it mostly sounds like the vibrations through the sides and bar which are pretty difficult to damp. Did you do all the tadda...
  10. Toyota Should Be ASHAMED - Pathetic parts support

    Natrually COVID (and now the war) causes disruptions... but the problem definitely started prior to both by many years. Essentially the financial collapse and subsequent recession are as much to blame as the more recent issues. That's when companies got caught with their proverbial pants down...
  11. Toyota Should Be ASHAMED - Pathetic parts support

    I have this same thought every time I'm behind a Prius...
  12. So just need a Yes or No on tire size

    I can barely stand to be in the garage for the first 2-3 days after I get new tires... I can only imagine the horror of having them in my bedroom! o_O
  13. Toyota Should Be ASHAMED - Pathetic parts support

    Just updated on 3/31 but shows published on 3/29 so probably not a joke. :oops:
  14. What did you do to your Supra today?

    Looks like you have a Tesla-attraction-unit installed somewhere on your car... ;) I would be too... smelled up the house and didn't leave any for you... some people are just rude! :mad:
  15. Brake Retrofit

    ... and either one requires a hefty retrofit to my definition of "affordable". ;)
  16. All-new 2023 Nissan Z makes world debut!

    If the current market continues, you can virtually guarantee there will be a ridiculous markup on any that somehow escaped pre-orders. Look at the C8 and multiply by 2 would be my guess considering there's only going to be about 5% as many available in total.
  17. All-new 2023 Nissan Z makes world debut!

    I'd like to buy one of each... and I might - but the problem is more one of availability these days. If Nissan can even produce and sell half as many of the new Z as they pulled off with the 370 - then there will be many more available than there are of the Supra... which should mean you have...
  18. Used car market predictions

    And the price on 70's Broncos just keeps going up & up...
  19. PSA: Are you about to buy a new turbo? You should wait.

    Oh yeah. Those are basically "Stage Zero" - not a meaningful improvement over stock. I briefly considered going all in on the Stage 4 version... but the seat hit the crossbar and couldn't move back enough. Some day though....
  20. PSA: Are you about to buy a new turbo? You should wait.

    I just upgraded to some Stage-2 sneakers and it's really helped with throttle response... Next up, I'll try wearing pants. :cool:
