TRD kits?

The key I took for the statement was “not all at once.” The D variant of the engine, 4-cyl manual, 6-cyl manual, etc. will be trickled out. We all know Toyota corporate doesn’t feel they need (want?) this car. This isn’t a Mustang or Camaro where they can cover cost on cranking out a ton...

It is because they don’t want make the business decisions of an almost bankrupt company. You are right that they can afford it. With that being said, you make that argument down enough niche product lines and chose wrongly, things won’t look so good to shareholders. Like it or not, Toyota is...

You can try the smoked matte plastidip over the vinyl. I used that on mine as I wanted them tinted.

If you do carbon you go all out or it just looks wrong. The other issue is good looking carbon work is dependent on weave orientation and the Versus piece doesn’t match what my eye wants to see. I hope they are successful, but it’s not for me.

I’m down the road in Lake Charles but I’m out in Houston regularly. I’d be willing to come on down.

I’m fine with the cosmetic changes. I think they did fair there. Honestly giving it a 30 HP factory tune or the ability to shut off all the software that makes tracking this thing a trick would have been a better bonus given how they are marketing the car with a free year of NASA.

A ceramic coating or ceramic coating system is the first thing I’d do with matte paint. People need to note that prep for matte is different than for gloss paints as you cannot correct matte paint as it can’t be polished. They make matte waxes, but ceramics will out for perform. Normal wax...

Mine is Toyota as well. Likely same battery different label than the other one posted. Yours was either changed at the dealership or Toyota finally has their own inventory in Austria. It is still a large bastard for a sports car at 90 AH.

The paint is a bitch to care for, so I don’t think Toyota is itching to crank these out. There won’t be many made overall.

They can. The issue is voltage is a poor method of determining state of charge. A battery at 12V (6 x 2V cells) may have a 115% capacity or it may have 15% capacity. Only way to know for sure is to put a load on it and measure individual cell outputs over its full discharge curve to cell end...

You can tint the front windshield with 70-90% ceramic or crystalline in place of a sunshade. It is light enough not to be hassled and it is always there. I’m in and out my car all the time for work, so it was a worthwhile investment being in Southwest Louisiana.

If you look at the pics posted above by a90moe, you can see the cat he is referring to after the corrugated section in the picture looking up the downpipe.

You would think at the price they are charging for the down pipes they would clean the welds up. I used to make oilfield equipment that had cleaner welds than that.

Toyota flipped a coin. The US landed on heads, so we got the rear view mirror with garage remote. The UK got tails so you get the cargo net and charge port.

They can always release the updated power plant they are sitting on. If they start advertising hp at the crank along with the revised motor, that would bump them well above the rumored 400 hp of the Z.

The “turn off” I mentioned is you shut the car off like most normal human beings do, then with the iDrive buttons and dial, you hit the options button (bottom right IIRC) then scroll with the wheel one down to “shut down car” or something similar. I have the shut off car with door enabled but I...

Did you turn it off through the iDrive option button?

You can turn the car off instead of locking it. It will do zombie shit if you don’t lock it or turn it off.

I’d like to see some people get creative with the fake vents. Most of the other stuff is coming, so I don’t have to wish for it. Unfortunately you can all count RPMs on the HUD out. From what was said elsewhere unless I’m delusional, this is an M specific item and the Supra doesn’t have the...
