Yes that's how mine is, I assumed it was normal? Odd that there's not a convenient spot to grip it though, I just have to jam the tips of my fingers in there.

If you plan to do a lot of mods, then I'd seek out a 2020 or early 2021. The 2020 would have to be used, but you can find early 2021s on dealer lots still that have unlockable ECUs (look for build dates on the door jam before 6/20). If you're only planning on intake and exhaust, then any model...

Wrong in what way? I take it you're the one person from that poll that broke it in hard and is showing consumption issues? That doesn't change the fact that the overwhelming majority of those with consumption issues babied the car during break-in, which is known to cause this problem (not...

It could be the higher boost. My personal opinion is that weak break-ins are bad, the only reason they're "recommended" by the manufacturer is because their legal and PR team can't tell you to do otherwise. I've literally never spoken to an engine builder, ever, who recommended a weak...

Personally I like the design of the stock wheels, I just don't like the two-tone. Powdercoating the stock wheels a single color looks just as good or better than most aftermarket options IMO, and is significantly cheaper. https://www.supramkv.com/threads/painting-the-stock-rims.2831/ Here's a...

I just bought my 2021 on Friday and it had this. It sat on the lot long enough that the voltage dropped below the threshold and pissed off the ECU. The dealer charged the battery and then the service tech had to clear the error which took about 20 min.

I just bought a new 2021 on Friday, it has a build date of 3/20. The dealership had a few other Supras on the lot that had been sitting just as long as this one had and probably have similarly early build dates. All at Larry H Miller Toyota in Boulder, CO.

Wow, the factory wheels look so much better when they're a single color. It doesn't even really matter what color, they're all much better than stock. I have officially stopped my wheel search after seeing this thread, gloss black factory wheels on Turbulence Gray it is!

That's a good choice. My wife and I both have the Garmin 45 in our other cars, and I just bought the 46 for my Supra. I have zero complaints with the 45 and it seems to hit all of your requirements. I had a cheaper Chinese dash cam before the Garmin and it worked ok, but after a while the...

I just picked up a 2021 3.0 Premium from Larry H Miller Toyota in Boulder. They have a handful there that have been sitting on the lot for a while, meaning they're giving good deals on them AND the one I just grabbed has a 3/20 build date, so no ECU problems. They gave me a good price on my...

Picked mine up today. 2021 3.0 Premium with carbon fiber mirror covers and driver assist package, 3/20 build date. It had been sitting on the lot long enough that they gave me a good deal on my trade (built ‘05 STi) and knocked 6k off the sticker price. Out the door for 55k, 40k with the...

This is a good idea, thanks for posting this. For those that are curious, all professional engine builders (at least every one that I've seen) recommend you break in the engine in the same way. You can google it and find numerous sources, but basically you NEED decent pressure and vacuum in...

Right, I'm not talking about the tax bracket either, I'm talking about the overall tax rate including federal, state, medicare, social security, etc. For me that's around 34%. I believe the 40% he was referring to for AU was also "all in", if so it's not that different, especially considering...

A "Supra Sequoia"? Is this an April Fools joke?

In the US? I'm in Colorado and sitting at about 34%, 40% isn't too outlandish if that includes everything.

There are lots of people with locked 2021 ECUs using the JB4 successfully. I've only seen one post on here from someone with a JB+ and they were having issues, IIRC Burger recommended they switch to the JB4.

I plan to break mine in the same way I broke in the engine on my '12 WRX and the built motor in my '05 STi. Bring it up to full operating temp gently (which you should always do, break-in or not), and then vary between medium/full throttle and engine braking, while keeping it below maybe 5k...

Supra For me it comes down to two things. 1) I live in Colorado at ~5500 ft, NA cars lose about 20% of their power up here. FI cars still lose some, but significantly less. That means the 495 hp of the C8 is closer to 400 hp up here, while the Supra drops from maybe 430 (based on ~380whp...

Last time I tried to get my STi emissions tested, they definitely rooted around in the engine compartment. Between the big rotated turbo, FMIC, SS braided fuel lines everywhere, and external WG with atmospheric dump tube, they couldn't make heads or tails of anything though. They actually...
