In my 2013 FR-S, I was on the freeway and I unavoidably drove over a chunk of concrete (imagine Chipotle burrito sized). The chunk was tumbling and went straight down the center underneath my car. It surprisingly didn't leave one scratch on the front bumper lip or engine skid plate, but...
I'm a big fan of Fumoto drain valves. I have them on most of my cars. (3 to be exact) With that said, I chose not to pursue putting a Fumoto on the Supra because the plug points straight down. Adding the height of the valve at that orientation could potentially be an danger point if you run...
Nice! I wish I knew about these before purchased my extended wheel studs. Looking them up, the price seemed pretty reasonable for titanium studs and nuts.
I was shopping around for exhaust systems as well. aFe Power's Takeda exhaust is similar to Borla's setup. I wonder if the Borla muffler is that noticeable though looking from behind. I like that the Takeda muffler is coated black so you can't see the asymmetry and they use V-bands. I also...
My OEM 2013 Scion FR-S and OEM 2018 Honda Civic radio didn't have any audio lag. The aftermarket Sony headunit I upgraded the Civic to is also lag free.
I would have been a 2020 owner had they offered a manual from the start. I come 20+ years of autocrossing and tracking manual cars. So I am definitely a pro-manual guy. With that said, the ZF auto on this thing is pretty damn good. So good, that I realized it wouldn't be a hinderance when...
Sun visors are too short (or maybe I'm too short haha)
No way to block the sun from the side window either
Bad audio lag with phone using Bluetooth
Can't sync left & right climate control temperature
Other than that, nothing a little coding or perspective can't fix. This is an awesome car.
My friend has a 2020 3.0 and noticed that same twitchiness as you described. After he installed front and rear sway bars (aFe Control), he said the twitchiness went away. I was able to test drive his car with the aFe sway bars and the car felt very stable. That test drive is what actually...
I'm with you man. I just got the car and noticed the Bluetooth audio lag. I'm surprised more people haven't discussed this issue. Or is everyone just plugging in their phones into the USB port like we are back in 2007?

So, when the 2020's first came out I was able to drive a buddy's Supra in stock form. To be honest, I was a little disappointed with the steering response and how heavy it felt. I did have an autocross prepped supercharged FR-S at the time so I had something to compare to. After...
