When I ran E85 on my STi, I rebuilt the entire fuel system and replaced all of the o-rings in the fittings with Viton (FKM/fluorocarbon). I ran that for about 10 years with zero issues. It should be pretty easy to find Viton o-rings in whatever size you need to replace the ones it comes with.
Theoretically yes, but in practice they'll use any modification that's tangentially related to the failure as cause to deny the claim. Then it's up to you to lawyer up and fight them on it if you think otherwise.
As was said above, there's really no such thing as "voiding the warranty". The entire warranty can never be voided (except maybe for flood damage?). Individual claims can be denied if the dealership/manufacturer can reasonably attribute the failure to something you've done to the car, but...
Personally I chose Visconti because of the remote unlock he offers. No way was I going to hand my car’s ECU over to the clowns at UPS or FedEx and risk them losing it.
I got mine from the Verus site the day it dropped. It shipped quickly, but then FedEx screwed up and now it’s floating around the northeast somewhere.
It was pretty easy, I just removed a handful of bolts from the bottom of the rear diffuser and then flexed it back. You can then see the back side of the reflectors and the clips that hold them in. You can use a long screwdriver to unclip one side, then grab it from outside the car and pull it...
Never done that, but I have sprayed the windshield with washer fluid a few times when I miss an upshift! It’s why I have new paddle shifters coming in the mail that are taller.
I'm 6'1", the Supra is perfectly fine to get in and out of and there's plenty of room inside. It's certainly easier to get in and out of than my STi with Sparco Evos was. Before I got the car I read some posts like this one saying that taller or larger people would have problems, so I was a...
Got it aligned today, it definitely cleaned up the feel and fixed the weird shimmy the car had whenever the rear tires hit a bump. I don’t know what BMW/Toyota has been doing to the suspension on the assembly line, but cars shouldn’t be coming out of the factory with the alignment that far off...
I paid $400 for tint and $800 for ceramic coating. They quoted me an additional $2k to wrap the front end, but I decided against it. So your prices seem pretty standard.
Sure, it's definitely impractical if it's your only car, but he was saying it's impractical as a daily. "Daily" implies that you have a second car, at which point those single-car drawbacks don't really apply.
"Impractical as a daily", to me, means that it's harsh, loud, unreliable, bad in...
The first Toyota dealership I tried wouldn't allow test drives either. I ended up convincing them to let me drive it if I submitted a credit application first to prove that I was both serious and capable of buying the car. The second dealership I tried didn't give a shit, they handed me the...
What do you mean it's not practical? The Supra works just fine as a daily, as long as you have a larger secondary car for hauling things or driving in bad weather.
The Supra has changed my perspective. I used to be a "boring daily" + "fun weekend" kind of 2-car guy, but I've since flipped...
Yes it’s the same kind of wheel vibration as the lane departure warning. If you turn on your turn signal when a car is in the blind spot it’ll buzz the wheel at you. It can be disabled in the settings though.
