Yes, that was exactly what I was saying - you sure cracked that code. :rolleyes: A typical street tuned Supra at 450+ hp & tq would certainly warrant adding extra lubrication... since it's running 30- 50% higher output than stock tune. It would also benefit from additional cooling capacity as...

Exactly! Not even close... since it's a drift car it probably spends more time bouncing off the rev-limiter in a single run than a "normal race car" sees in an entire day... and a street car sees in it's lifetime (certainly mine). Additionally most of that stress is without any benefit of...

Any day you're beating Ferraris is a decent one IMO. :thumbsup:

I'm not sure but those are available in the sports display so I'm not sure why there would be that option... then again the nav options show there for no good reason as @Tsar just stated... so it's possible. I've only ever used it for the temp data (my VIN makes my unlock code 19... so I don't...

Any thicker than that and I'd want to upgrade the cooler before switching. The other reason (besides "emissions reasons") for the lighter oil is it circulates better and thus stays cooler. It's a balancing act and the engineers undoubtedly spec'd the cooling for the lighter oil as well. I...

Well if what @Zoopra said right above you holds true... even if it has issues - you can always sell at a profit if you manage to actually take receipt of one at MSRP. I know a couple people that did that with the C8 and netted nearly enough to buy an MKV with the difference. ;)

Yeah, even more daunting a proposition on this side of the pond! I can only imagine the wait time if there was something requiring a significant recall/remediation in the first year. At least with the Supra and Cayman there's numerous official (and even more independent) options for repairs...

Is that a misprint? If there is just a single sub running that high I can't see it not affecting the sound significantly. Even ~200Hz is pretty easily localizable, and at 1000Hz you're into the fundamentals of male vocals and a ton of other instruments - which will all be coming from the back...

I'm sure it will sound great... I certainly don't doubt their experience and competence in designing products that appeal to a wider audience. I mean, when I first set up my home theater with decent speakers and processor... it sounded great too. However, I still felt like I was hearing the...

Fair enough, and admittedly speakers are a much more subjective preference... but that's why I prefer a user-tunable DSP over a fixed system. I presume someone at Toyota actually listened to the prototype system and thought it "sounded pretty good" as well. :rolleyes: Klipsch and Bose both...

Credit to @METAL who mentioned it in the other thread as being the solution he selected... it's definitely the direction I'm going as well. I'll take the ability to handle the DSP side myself any day over having a one-and-done solution without flexibility. To be fair, the OEM Audio+ kit is...

Seems like a very costly and imperfect solution to me... comparing that to the mObridge setup (which is half the price) at least. Sure you've got a custom sub and enclosure included in this... but they appear to have no way of directly interfacing with the DSP so you're stuck with their tuning...

Definitely possible... also possible they're considering what Intel did with CPU overclocking... i.e. offering a much more expensive "specialty warranty" that you could buy. So your factory warranty would be voided upon tuning... but if you handed them an extra $5K at purchase (and signed a...

Yep I have that spot on the door (not on the hood however) accumulate after a week or two. Never bothered to track down exactly where it comes from... figured it was a BMW "leak feature" like some of the other areas. Mine seems to always be worse on the passenger side. On the other issue...

Fantastic! That's what I like to hear! :thumbsup:

Oh I don't open my hood either. How many miles did you have on that toy? I don't expect 200K+ miles between rebuilds (although I've gotten that and more from some other cars), but I drive 15K per year about and with some people seeming to blow turbos with nothing but a DP and tune at 30K on...

That's one of the issues I think however... and what I mean really by "pushing harder..." - many (most?) MKV owners aren't driving what the BMW engineers (or Toyota for that matter) actually designed. Some had a DP and tune at least, within days of taking receipt... and while that does not...

Well, I think that's the crux of the situation... although I do agree with your conclusion and I've never bothered with the hood myself either. The engine was indeed designed to be a "total amateur's daily driver" - in fact, an SUV daily driver in many cases (I'd guess the X3 M40i is where is...

Well, if you're having those problems at only 30K then it's definitely not a "make it through warranty" situation... they're selling 100K warranties for only a couple grand. Although I guess, for Toyota, what's a couple million in warranty replacements - considering how many will actually be...

Puerile comedic response demanded... but resisted. Good to know however... :D
