Worth noting regarding the emblems is that Toyota dropped the "Toyota" and "Lexus" nameplates on North American vehicles about 7-10 years ago, and so ours will only have the "T" emblem and the "Supra" nameplate while it appears EU-spec cars will have the "Toyota" nameplate. Jeff

OV Tuned RR Racing Tuning Tech FS All offer tunes for the engines I listed using Denso Toyota ECU's. There are others. Most North American tuning started around the end of 2015, I believe based on what the Russians were doing. OBD flashing started happening later in 2016. Jeff

USDM. 2ZR-FE, 2GR-FE, 2/3/4GR-FSE, 2GR-FKS, 2UR-GSE (both revisions), 2AR-FE, 8AR-FTS, etc. Jeff

For what it's worth, most modern Denso ECU's have been cracked now and are being tuned. Jeff

Still hoping for some sort of manual LHD Z4 somewhere in the world. Even if it's an N/A 4-cylinder, having the pedals and hydraulics would be nice. Still, not the end of the world either way. Jeff

Not ended, but it would seem that the Z4 will also be using (mechanically) the Toyota "developed" version. Jeff

You are correct, it's different, but Yamaha manufactured the entire 2000GT for Toyota. NUMMI ended poorly, but was a successful plant for 25 years. I doubt it would have closed had it not been for GM backing out due to their Ch. 11 proceedings. The Cavalier was just rebadged, not a jointly...

Toyota/Yamaha. Jeff

The thing about it is that people did have a problem with it. I saw all of these discussions and issues people had with it before. In 2011-2012 when the FR-S was coming. Jeff

For what it's worth, new manual gearboxes don't always need to get developed. If it can hold the torque and shifts nicely it can be a 40-year old design for all I care. The other thing about manual take rate is that if you only offer it on the lowest of the low models, it seems to me people...

They seem to be kind of a common(ish) promo item in Japan for coffee/tea. They were a giveaway for the 86 from GR made by One Collection, and as such they don't actually seem to have a typical part number. In fact the package even has a "Not for Sale" label on it. Jeff

But a pretty decent one. Good texturing, haha. Jeff

Technically speaking, the spin-off of Ferrari as its own company was completed in 2016 and they are no longer a part of FCA. I believe FCA still has a major stake in Ferrari though. Jeff

It's definitely not just a normal B58 they've dropped in there, at the very least it has some updated pieces. What are the updates (besides the throttle body and valve cover), and are they important to any of us? Jeff

Or the prototype cluster just didn't have a redline on it yet; unlikely, but possible. Jeff

Alternatively, BMW finally decided to just use the engine Toyota modified in the Z4, or the Goodwood car just used the Z4 engine and it won't be the final production version (even though it has been hinted/said it was). We just need actual information, haha. Jeff

As true as that is, there are times where it happens that things end up being very similar mounting-wise. For example the 1UZ/2UZ/3UZ or the LSx. 1UZ/3UZ Aluminum Block: 2UZ Iron Block: Jeff

From what we can see, comparing the two... Things that are the same: Most of it. Things that are different: The upper rad support isn't black on the Z4 The plastic engine cover is differnt The reinforcement bars from the rad support to strut tower (the Supra has a mounting point for them...

I like the BBS RE-V. Hard to find in 5x114.3 outside of Japan, but they're easier to find in BMW bolt patterns.... Jeff
