Got the VIN number for my car. Dealer says pricing is not confirmed, which honestly does not sound that hopeful to me. I will continue negotiations with them. Atleast I can confirm the allocation.
It’s not a difficult question. The B58C has a headifold with water cooling, the B58D has a manifold without. The heads are different to support the different exhaust strategies.
You did not clarify that you meant a B58 at all. I assumed you were talking about the drift car this thread is about. HKS has a “street” Supra in development currently.
In theory, it sounds easy but a few things you must remember.
The drift season has started, this means these teams only had about 6 months to go from a completely unknown platform to a full competition drift car. To do this requires a lot of chassis R&D so that they can get the insane angle and...
I agree, I can appreciate the way the Supra looks but it is still not a “beautiful” car to me. Purposeful and aggressive yes, but beautiful? Maybe not so much.
The test drive thing doesn’t surprise me. With these high demand new cars, you never are allowed to drive them. I would be pissed if I found out my new car had miles put on it buy some tire kicking idiot.
It’s because HKS doesn’t know how to tune the B58. The only companies that would have any clue are the ones that are tuning the current BMW models running B58’s. I do not know of any ways to run a stand-alone ECU with this engine.
And therein lies my issue with his statements. All of what he says is a baseless accusation towards the engineers and designers who poured the last several years into this car. I feel it is an embarrassment that Chris Harris, a journalist I once respected for his driving abilities, has allowed...
Hah, I get you do not like the car, and I usually respect your arguments, but that has got to be the most flawed thing you have said.
If he were a BMW fanatic, of course he would dislike the Supra. The Z4 gets only mediocre reviews and while the Supras are very positive.
I think it pains him...
I honestly don’t like the way it feels, it’s almost like sitting a puddle to me. I’m sure it’s ncie but I don’t know if it would be worthwhile for me personally.
