That's what I suspected and why I asked earlier. Look I don't think it's bad that Visconti is offering this service, but he should be more clear about the process and where your ECU is going. When I saw 10 day turnaround I suspected it was going to Mother Russia, and Visconti is not the only...

Yes I am more of a casual maybe track 3-4 times a whole year type of guy and definitely not pushing the car to it's maximum abilities like you :)

Bavsound videos show you how to replace all the speakers in the car. OEMaudio+ has a video on how to replace the amp. There are some other videos out there too on Supra audio installs.

Have you looked into the turbo heat shield from Verus? I have it on my black friday wish list. I have had good experience with Verus stuff in the past and it seems like cheap insurance.

Good history on the Z, thanks for posting. Clickbaity title though. It's not that Toyota couldn't, it;s that it did not make economical sense. The same reason that Nissan is recycling so many parts from the previous Z and other cars to make this "new" Z.

And I love Corvette and am really impressed with GM for even giving us this new Z06, but with their past history there is no way I would buy this car for at least 18 months until we understand reliability with the new motor.

Hmm. I know several Supra guys who do lots of track days that are pretty much stock and have not had limp issues. I have only done one track day but had no issues. But it probably depends where you are tracking if your car is stock power, etc. I can ping Jackie Ding about it as he is pretty...

If you look at historical pricing of Z06 vs base Corvette $87-90K MSRP makes sense for the starting price. But that's the starting price. I am guessing the average selling price (with options) will be closer to $110-115K or so. 2LZ package, front end lift.. I read the average selling price...

Yes me too, it took some research and based on our amp it looks like I need the B100W model component speakers. I also decided to get the matching Eton center channel as a number of the BMW guys said it sounded much better than stock and preferred it to removing the center completely. I will...

Is he shipping them overseas?

I’d be surprised if Toyota sells the exact kit unless you own a CF edition for replacement parts.

I’m going to do some sound deadening and vibration improvement to the doors and said what the hell while I am there I will swap out the stock speakers with these, they should be drop in reaplacements and the BMW guys say they are a big improvement over stock: There are Eton B100W component...

honestly I feel the same way. I would love the S58 with a DCT but the ZF is solid.

interviews with the head of the program said to expect changes every year with some years bringing more performance. time will tell but it would not surprise me if they offered a manual the last couple years to keep sales going. Especially with the Z offering a manual, a manual in the Supra...

The statement was that they had cooling issues with FI and the Corvette and their goal was that the last lap would be as fast or faster than the first lap. With FI they felt it would be very hard to accomplish this due to heat and reduced power with FI over multiple laps. They claim the C8 Z06...

This is extremely disappointing. .

Also reading an old interview with Tada-San he lays this all out saying to expect changes every year and some surprises. He said there will be performance changes mixed with appearance changes and then more performance. With the 21’s we saw that with the HP jump, suspension changes, etc. Also...

Moto Miwa posted on social media “a manual Supra is coming save your money” Moto is not just a nobody he’s a huge AE/GT86 enthusiast and gets inside info and seems to have a relationship with Tada-San who runs the Supra and 86 programs. At this point I have to think it’s true. The save your...

If the rumors (one of them it appears from a credible insider) of a manual option MKV Supra are true, it could put a big cloud over the Z release…

I just added these silver aluminum paddle extenders. I eventually want carbon fiber but these were cheap and it matches the trim.
