i guess its USDM; note the front bumper turn indicator, EU models don't have those.

am 100% waiting here! hear that toyota?!! :p

interesting..wouldn't that be the 1st "GRMN" with an auto? :p

that's what you get with a -long @$$- I6 :p,, but at least the engine mounts are quite a bit behind the axle. Not front mid-ship/S2000 for sure though

QFT. to be 100% accurate, the platform was co-developed by BMW and Toyota. The Body-in-whites is different, and then the same supply chain was used for the final assembly (hence the "BMW logos" and the interior bits....etc) i bet there are more similarities between: an 86 and a WRX (on which...

What is a "Time Attack A90 Build"? Square 315mm A7's, bigboost's 700whp kit, g-loc brakes and some MCS or FortuneAuto coilovers and you're definitely aiming at the Performante. tbh that's quite a bit more than "breaking a sweat" lol. I say "aiming" since that Lambo got some sick active-aero...

for reference here is HKS' development timeline. ECU Tuner and a drop in turbo kit are on the way!

BahRain laou Sima7t ... xD! called EK.Kanoo to hook me up on the launch event will see if I can make it.

i did not say the A80 was the first supra. am aware of the difference between Celica_Supra and Supra.

don't care much about what it was called tbh, am super excited for the final product! short wheelbase'd, potent engine'd, pure internal combustion RWD. "Supra" is fine by me. but alternatively, they could've also called it 4000GT (a successor to the 2000GT, which was made by Yamaha... for...

Now that I actually went through the magazine scan: What a waste of time; he miserably failed to relay what's "wrong with its DNA". and no, am not defending the A90 or anything (am not paying a cent on an automatic) but.. ..He purposely eluded to be specific in conveying what's wrong about the...

24lb fronts and 25lb rears, the aftermarket is 19-20lbs at best (for an 18x10 or 11). so yeah wheels are decently light for an OEM wheel.

don't you just love suspension graphs xD! tells you a lot about the handling without even touching the car, kinda like studying stars with the Hubble telescope LMAO! i totally agree with "aggressively designed mac strut setup will net a better camber curve then an aggressively designed double...

besting cayman's shouldn't be that hard for the A90. Caymans are light and mid-engined, hence awesome, but they are definitely not without flaws. Cayman's have MacPherson struts in the front AND the REAR. it's probably the weight difference and the fact that its mid-engined (polar moment of...

HKS claims the oem cat back is 24.3KG / 53.6lbs

The 718 S is 3169lbs ~ 1438KG. Given that its a "4 cylinder turbo", it kinda compares to the 2.0T A90 (which is 3196lbs/1450kg) The bonnet is quite large, although it's aluminum IIRC. Wheels could be another place for a bit of weight reduction. one of the reviewers said they where 24.3lbs and...

woops...my bad :p well, i stand corrected!

that's at the crank ;) To show the whole picture; I googled them dyno results of some of the A90's competitor's, all stock (but be aware dyno's can vary a bit). DynoJet (SAE) WHP / WTQ (lb.ft): A90 Supra 339/427 Cayman GT4 345/315 Cayman 718S 320/310 911 GT3RS 400/295 (not in the same $$$...

wow, with 20% drivetrain loss that's like 407HP/512lbft at the crank! did any one dyno the "382hp" z4 yet?

i absolutely love the A90's design. I find that GRMN front bumper hideous, new Avalon kinda hideous. Whats up with toyota and the "gaping fishmouth" design language? i certainly hope the normal car's bumper can be retrofitted without much trouble. AFAIK, S58=B58 + air-to-air intercooler and...
