Yeah those "Vehicle" scores are wacky. Exterior styling is subjective, giving one car that a lot of people like the looks of a 9 and another car that just as many people like the looks of a 5 is an odd choice. I get that some people might not like the styling of the Supra, but a 5? C'mon. I...

The factory 0w-20 is like water, I don’t trust it at all. The US is also the only region where 0w-20 is specified for the B58, everyone else gets 5w-30 I believe. It’s pretty obvious the 0w-20 recommendation is for US emissions reasons only, not for the health of the engine. As for the...

The alignment isn’t because of the new tires, it’s because these cars come with garbage alignments from the factory. An aftermarket alignment is pretty much required just to bring the car to OEM specs. It could be that the instability was always there, it just wasn’t as pronounced with the PSS...

Have you ever done an alignment on the car? Did you go into the infotainment system and tell it you were running custom tires?

Bought mine brand new in April 2021, it has about 6500 miles now. It's my DD, but I do drive my WRX a non-trivial amount of time as well between carrying the dog, large cargo, and rain/snow.

As far as failures go, this one is pretty easy to avoid. When you press the brake to start the car, actually press the brake, don't just lightly touch it. Same goes for the start button, press it with purpose, don't tap it a bunch or feather it. The failure comes from tapping the start button...

I took mine to the shop that did the ceramic coat. They stripped it, installed the lip, then re-applied the coat over top

Where are these being posted? If it's on Visconti's page, then of course they're deleting quotes from alternate vendors. I'd expect any vendor to do the exact same thing. If it's not, then how does Visconti have the permission to delete anything?

The issue isn't that you have to open it, it's that for some reason the designers didn't put a single spot for you to actually lift it by. It's mind-numbing that on a $55k car I have to try to wedge my finger tips under the lip in order to open the trunk. All they needed was a nice flat...

I don't use it, but my wife does on her Mini and has never had a problem. The only station I've had repeated, obvious problems with bad gas is Valero, I'll never go there again.

I can't speak for him, but I also have 265/35 and 295/35 RT660s on the stock wheels, lowered on HKS Hipermax adjustable springs. I have FC 5mm spacers and -2.3 deg camber up front, no spacers and -2.0 deg camber in the rear. Fitment is perfect, and while I haven't pushed it hard on a track...

No issues with mine on stage 2, everything working great and the shifts feel much better than stock. The updated shift points make it so normal node is actually useful as well which is nice.

I have the FC 5mm on the front. My set screws were definitely beveled, it’s odd that yours weren’t. Maybe ask FC about it?

Yep, there’s a note in the XHP app that says the shift points revert to stock when the kickdown is activated

It is, but once again they're just harping on the tires like that's the real problem. I don't recall a single review of the Supra complaining about its tires, yet with the Z it seems to be the only thing they can talk about, despite the Z's tires being better than the Supra's. It's almost like...

19s are perfect on this car, 18s are a little small but still work. 20s are already too big, 21s would look downright stupid.

It's more than just drivetrain noises, the entire car shakes. I made it about 1-2 miles into my test drive before I had to turn around and jack the car back up to find WTF I screwed up. I re-adjusted the exhaust just in case it was slamming against the body, went back out, and 1-2 miles into...

Course not, I was going off of dzeleski's original post that said the stock was 300, so 405 would be 35% stiffer. Going back and looking at the rest of the numbers though, it looks like stock is 173, that's the only number that makes sense for all 3 stiffness settings, in which case yes it's...
