As an aside, those factory turbo collector studs those are probably use-once items intended to be replaced with new ones (along with a new gasket of whatever design is there) any time the collector manifold is removed. I could be wrong but it is probably what the factory manual will recommend...

I can't speak to the quality of the factory nuts and studs used on the B58C but at least on a 2JZ (or any turbocharged engine) it's not uncommon to see some rust form on the factory cast steel exhaust manifold/collector and the various cast steel and cast iron parts of the turbocharger system...

It's not related in any way but in addition to the MR2 this concept also reminds me of the very short-lived and stillborn TommyKaira ZZ-II bespoke mid-engined lightweight two-seater that the boutique company aimed to sell in small numbers after it was shown off in prototype form in the very...

And yet another rumor, originating from BestCar: https://www.motor1.com/news/554325/toyota-suzuki-daihatsu-sports-car/ After seeing Toyota's EV concept lineup announcement today I think what we may be seeing here are a couple of different mid engine or mid-motor projects with only one of them...

Euro7 emissions requirements being the roadblock in two years I could understand... but SAFETY regulations? For all its sporting character this is a very safe car. I find it difficult to see exactly what new rules as pertain to safety that the GR86 is violating. Something to do with the low...

I find this interesting myself. Usually someone is in one camp or the other. You on the other hand own an MKV and a Tesla Model 3. These two cars could not be more different from one another as you point out. My issue with Teslas are the interiors, their de-emphasis of the driver and of driver...

"Toyota GR Yaris Prototype Gets Hydrogen-Fueled Combustion Engine" https://www.motor1.com/news/552115/toyota-gr-yaris-hydrogen-fuel/ I guess this means that their prototype H2 combustion GR Yaris racecar has spawned an additional street trim prototype variant. I hope they actually get this...

Dodge can’t afford the regulatory penalties to keep making their Hemi and Hellcat V8’s much longer. It happened in the early 1970’s when emission controls first came on the scene and killed the highest output engines of that era. It happened in the early to late 2000’s in Japan when the...

This is also pretty old, from Daft Punk’s own movie “Electroma” (2005) which they co-directed together and did all the cinematography for themselves after buying something like two decades worth of American Cinematographer magazines from the mid-1960’s through 1970’s and binge studied them...

https://www.motor1.com/news/549971/toyota-corolla-gr-teaser-image/ It's a very subtle teaser by Toyota. Don't pay attention to the Corolla interior in the foreground. Pay attention to the car off in the distance to the right of the passenger side mirror.

Only time will tell if this is truly related or not but since Tada-san said he would like to develop a new MR2 with Porsche... here is Porsche themselves confirming that the next Cayman and Boxster will be 100% BEVs on a short wheelbase platform...

That's quite a little engine!

If Moto Miwa made that comment then there is more legitimacy to this than just the average rumor mill antics. Hopefully he is not referring to a manual Supra only being offered with the super-rare GRMN trim. The impression I got was that the manual was for the regular GR Supra... while the...

https://www.motor1.com/news/547508/toyota-supra-corolla-gr-rumors/ This came up on Motor1's site today as well. Looks like the original copy was cut and pasted on a few automotive news sites. However these sites did not copy and paste the "BMW Z5" text and even suggest that this rumored manual...

Very, very, very, very bland lack of effort from Acura. No thanks. I agree most with the Honda Crosstour comparison actually. That thing is nothing like an Integra. At least it has a manual transmission bolted to a turbo engine but.... why not just get a Civic Si or Civic Type R instead...

That possibility concerns me. And to that end why should it fade away as a mere legacy car right after returning? Why get it only so far along with the iconic model again and then.... just give up on it? That would be a very stupid letdown after waiting such a long time for a MKV. The MR2 is...

"Sorry bro"? I'm very confused that we're on a thread about the future of the Toyota Supra and you're going on about news organizations that you don't like. That's irrelevant and personally I'm only interested in discussing the future of the Supra, their other GR models, future GR models and...

The Guardian has been known to be quite reliable and long established but we’re getting off topic. No matter what anyone’s opinion on the matter of decarbonization is Toyota Motor Co doesn’t have any control over what world governments are putting into motion with eventual zero emission sales...
