101 ft-lb. Don't remember the size, it's one of the standard metric options.

Agreed. I don't know why every install video I watched showed them struggling for 5 minutes to separate the plastic clip. Just ignore the plastic clip and remove the one regular bolt holding the entire assembly to the chassis. Zero risk of damage and it's most likely faster.

Sure, and if they were comparing stock vs stock it would have been a valid complaint, but they weren't. They installed hundreds of dollars in parts on the Z to fix known issues (brake pads + fluid), but then turned around and complained about something that costs a few tens of dollars to fix on...

Not a huge fan of the rest of the kit, it's just too busy IMO, but that wing looks really nice

If the belt is holding you by your Adam's apple, something is wrong with your seat or belt position. I can't imagine the injuries if you got in an accident that way...

$55k 380hp 3400lb car versus $330k 630hp 3200lb car. I don’t think anybody is surprised. I think they tried to say something about the Supra being modded, but I couldn’t hear anything over the sound of that hair.

The issue is how do you define "harsh conditions". That means different things to different people. To the OEM, increasing the power by 50%, keeping it in sport mode all the time with 3k RPM shift points, and blasting up freeway on-ramps is absolutely considered "harsh conditions". To me...

I did the same with my intake over a year ago, the sensor has been held on with one screw ever since. Our cars run speed density, not MAF, so a leak there doesn't matter other than possibly letting a little unfiltered air through.

Sign me up for an XL hoodie and M sticker

I did my first change at 1800, and then every 5k after that

I’m currently running 265/35/19 and 295/35/19 RT660s on the stock wheels, HKS Hipermax springs, and 5mm spacers up front (none in the rear). No rubbing or any other issues.

I’ve swapped my suspension multiple times and never had an issue. One suggestion - all of the suspension install videos I’ve seen show them prying the plastic clips apart to disassemble the ride height sensor during an install. Screw that, just take a picture of the orientation and then pull...

I got a custom stage 2 flex fuel tune from Visconti about a year ago. We did maybe 5-6 logs and 2-3 map revisions in the first day or two after I paid, then there was a week gap, then another few logs and a revision. I don’t know what his availability looks like these days, but a year ago it...

OTS or custom tune?

It's not that the car doesn't "like" it, it's just that with full E85 you hit the limits of the fuel system pretty early and have to dial back the boost to keep things happy. With the stock fuel system, our cars can make more power on an E50 blend than on full E85. Once you add port injection...

I had that when I installed Hawk HP+ pads on my STi. The first time I would touch the brakes after changing direction (F to R or R to F) they'd shift in the calipers and make a clack sound. I just lived with it.

Are we talking about limp-mode, throttle hesitation, or oil consumption here? These are three completely different things that aren't related to each other in any way that I'm aware of. Throttle hesitation is not limp-mode, if your car is going into limp-mode it will have a CEL associated with...

I really liked my Supra salesman. Just a chill guy, no funny business, laid out the price (which was $5k below MSRP), gave me good money for my trade (top bluebook, about $5k more than I was expecting), and while other dealerships weren’t doing any test drives at all, he just tossed me the keys...

Switching to manual on the tire setting should calm the traction control system down which will help. Getting a couple hundred miles on the tires will help as well. In the end they’re all-seasons though, they’re never going to feel great.

Can you take some up close pictures from multiple angles? I can try to hunt them down, no promises though.
