I’d love to experience this car in the snow but I just can’t with all the little stones they love to litter the roads with. Plus I’d rather not deal with salt either. Besides AWD I’ve always felt RWD was the next best thing in the snow. If you start sliding while turning with FWD not only do you...

Sweet! Thanks!!

Absolutely it would be worth it. Hell, the possibly insane shipping cost from across the pond or down under would be worth it if need be. I started looking as well and think so far the lowest price I found was $85 and some change. I guess I could be out $20/$30 bucks in total for shipping if I...

Hmm…

So I’m in the US, am I crazy to think I could hook up with a couple people from Europe/Australia and the UK to get replacement sun visors? Or is there a way I could order them myself? To my understanding they both don’t have an airbag sticker on the driver side. If I got a driver side visor from...

Absolutely love this level of geekiness and detail. But I am curious why you like the Signature Series line over the European LS from Amsoil?

Congrats on the purchase and welcome! As suggested, hearing an exhaust in person is by far the best way to judge. Hearing it through the speakers on a phone, headphones, laptop, etc. won’t be the same. That being said hearing a video will give you a good enough idea of how it sounds to at least...

I second the BimmerLink comment. I was able to reset my “impossible” oil service after only 1100 miles. Also able to monitor my battery’s percentage for my CTEK and install my AWE exhaust without having to start the car in order to open the exhaust valve. Although I am uncertain about the brake...

Is this the forum equivalent of a yellow card?

As stated previously, the car is requesting an oil change. You don't have any signs of consumption right now. The current oil has been in the engine for over a year judging by the message you have. Intervals are either 10,000 miles or 1 year. As far as viscosity/brand to use, that is by far the...

Damn, sorry OP. My mistake. I was unaware there was a difference between regions with the valve. Color me jealous with having the valve open during Normal mode.

I’m honestly no help in answering your question but would you by chance have an OBD adapter? If so and don’t mind spending $30+ you could get BimmerLink which gives you the ability to see what % the battery is currently at. Maybe a way to monitor it.

Kind of feel a production halt by Toyota in Japan wouldn’t effect the Supra as much as a halt by BMW would. Am I crazy to think that?

PHEVs would be a better stop gap than pure EV in my opinion apart from what I feel is one major design flaw. Asking an ICE to roar into life at high RPMs from stone cold. Surely manufacturers could use an engine block heater while in pure electric to give the fluids some sort of temperature...

You are correct, closed when in Normal, open when in Sport. That being said, if you put the car in Sport right after a cold start the valve won’t open until after a few minutes. Other than that, exactly how you stated. And as to not confuse you anymore, Comfort is called Normal on our car...

Hood for that as well. Positive post is by the passenger side strut tower, grounding post is on the passenger fender near the washer fluid cap.

Under the hood is recommended. Battery is possible but I would think only if you have the ability to chose a setting on your charger specifically for an AGM battery. Don’t quote me on that though.

I just see it this way, take CA for example. They are pushing electric hard on everything including lawn equipment. How are the people who have decided to drive only an electric vehicle going to feel when they can’t go anywhere because the power has been shut off due to the day being a high fire...

Electric is not a sustainable means of personal transportation. It’s perfect for UPS, FedEx, USPS, etc. Good for those who live in a city as well but not much more. The future of fuel was, is, and always will be hydrogen. Been saying it to whoever will listen for over a decade now. That’s why...

So when can we expect to see your Supra on the Wash & Drive series?
