For anyone finding this at a later point in time: I ended up returning the car for essentially a same spec supra that came in afterwards. While I can't say for sure what caused the other car to activate VSC, This second one does not do that (and neither did my first Supra.) The only variable...

Typically I'd be right behind you, but my search to pickup another supra after I regretfully sold my last one has taken me coast to coast. At this point I was tired of traveling and Carmax's 10 day return policy, plus the car being down the street was enough for me to deal with the price. I was...

Specifically for the Final Edition cars. I'm really trying to source the lower plastic trim piece on the steering wheel, or even the whole wheel itself if that can't be found. On JDM and EU spec final edition cars it has the GR logo, and I've wished since 2023 that toyota would do that, and...

While I can't speak for your friends qualifications, if it were me, I'd be asking myself if I had to do the research for said friend, and if it was their first supra, would I want my car being the test case? Granted its not my car but if it were me I'd be considering that as well.

Just a heads up for anyone buying these: The company seems mostly open about what they are doing, but I feel someone needs to put some emphasis on the fact that these are *cloned keys* and not oem fresh replacements so you still have whatever lost key still paired to your car and technically...

Car is 100% stock, ideally I'd want to get more proficient with the chassis in a stock form, then move onto a more track focused alignment when my abilities can perform to it. I guess in the meantime my main concern would be what would cause that caster to be out of spec on a basically < 1 year...

I understand it's out of spec, I thought I had mentioned in my OP that the tech said its "not out of spec" when its showing that it is indeed out of spec. Fixed that in my post.

One of the areas that I'm not familiar on is alignment and suspension geometry. Probably my weakest link. Can someone take a look at this and explain to me why the caster would be out of spec on a stock car? Granted I know the factory specs are 7.58 +/- .5 degrees. Tech said the caster on...

Mostly logging what happened afterwards in case someone after me has the same problem, but I agree. If there's nothing stored in permanent memory or no CEL, then its likely nothing to worry about.

I checked the error memory a few days later and all of the codes had went away but one (headunit related.) The info memory still had a ton of events logged, but I've compared this with another supra and it was virtually the same, so at this point my best guess is that I'd treat info memory in...

I imagine if its conforming to Euro6 then there's probably little to no smell at all. As technology has advanced with cats, they are likely less and less of a restriction that they used to be. A high end cat will solve most issues if I had to guess.

The issue with catted downpipes is it becomes a pretty grey area due to the quality of the cat itself. Any car running an aftermarket catted downpipe has the ability to smell. That being said, all cats are also not created equal either. Generally a higher cell count will clean the exhaust up...

Good choice. I looked at a few stratosphere blues and the color is so nice; never was able to get to one in time, though. I ended up with another Nocturnal. But honestly I think the seats really make it for me. Granted I tend to notice odd things about cars, but for me the alcantara seats tip...

Well put. I figured under the generalization, if OP was asking about what gear to do burnouts in, the best likely answer for them would be "none, just enjoy your runs." Worrying about what temp to keep tires at if you aren't sure what gear to do them in (no offense to OP, saying this from an...

That's because I didn't say that. The inability for you to comprehend the position of my point isn't my shortcoming here, it's yours. I didn't doubt that you made the times you said, even though you have still yet to really provide the conditions upon which you made them. I guess that's on...

You likely did make better times with later attempts; My point is I don't think one can say with a high level of certainty that a burnout on oem tires is largely contributing to that. I'd be very skeptical claiming a delta of almost a whole second due to a burnout on street tires. I'm not...

My post was under the guise of if the OP was asking the question the way they phrased it, they would likely be on the OEM Super sports which are going to behave quite differently than a set of purpose bought 200TW's. I personally still wouldn't do a burnout on a 200TW tire myself. Drag slicks...

I believe that you may have gotten a lower time, but I doubt that the burnout contributed to it in a meaningful way. Street tires are meant to operate over a wide range of temps and overheating them can actually cause less grip, that's just how they are designed. Is it possible you cleaned the...

Damn, really? TiL. I figured as far as 3.0's went it was 3.0 Alcantara and the 3.0 Premiums with full leather. Honestly at this point I'm glad I went with the 3.0. Typically I just try and get my cars as fully loaded as possible unless I run into an issue like the top trim not offering a manual...

Based on how you phrased the question I'm going to assume you might not be familiar with why those are done at a dragstrip (that's not meant to be insulting, just how it sounded to me.) Unless you are on dedicated drag tires you are wasting both your time and your tread doing a burnout...
