The Y spoke design seems to look good on both motorcycle and cars to my eye. Silver go's with everything as well.

Post 2021 would be best to avoid the oil pump concerns and the auto as a DD. Phil

I really like colourful squiggly lines too. But not as much as an oily mark on a metal strip. :thumbsup: Phil

The only US track I've ever visited. Luckily there was a track day happening at the time so had a walk around the pits and the track. Phil

Not I or anyone else that I can see has ever said it has to be one or the other just that the addition of an oil dipstick would be useful/handy. You are the only one that I can see that seems to think it must be exclusively one or the other. The future also has a habit of reinventing what's...

What lifes about to an extent, Managing expectations. Phil

I have no video but I can tell you how to do it. Requires some fabrication skills though. You need a Banjo fitting in place of the sump plug and a short flex line off that to a rigid dipstick and tube assembly which you can buy in various lengths. So the banjo needs to be a -12 or there abouts...

Looking at ratios of the Pontiac GTO (VZ Monaro) as a comparison to the Supra in terms of torque and weight It had a first gear ratio of 2.66/1 with an identical 3.46/1 ratio diff. The second gear in the Supra is 2.315/1 so slightly taller than the VZ Monaro/GTOs 1st gear. The Supra is slightly...

You'll probably want to race me to see who paints faster. Phil

Engine mounts improve throttle response?? So throttle response is generally considered a reflection of the engines ability to increase rpm or output over time with relation to demand/throttle input. Can't see how engine mounts influence this. Phil

The issue here is that the Supra 6 speed manual gearbox has a very large ratio jump between 1st and 2nd gears. This obviously makes the job of the syncro much, much harder. So for example the Supra ration jump 1st to 2nd is 4.110 to 2.315 a jump of 1.76 in the ratio. For comparison of a similar...

Wise move. There's no going back from hacking a hole is a lovely aluminium hood. Phil

Well if you look up the parts manual for my VIN it shows the 03 pump applicable from July 2022:dunno: Not sure that actually means much though. Phil

No doubt but driving to Warrandyte the other day I noticed that about 5klm of the road has now been reduced from 80kph to 60kph, Faaaaaark. At this rate I'll be driving a freaking pedal car soon let alone considering more power. Phil

So you're spruking for the dealer you traded it to. Tell them they have the diff ratio in their add wrong. They have the auto diff ratio listed :rolleyes:

It wasn't another "mind" race was it? :rolleyes: Phil

Umm, because cars aren't always assembled perfectly at the factory. Look it's a process of troubleshooting elimination. You do the no cost simple stuff and work your way by process of elimination to the possibility of a more serious problem That's what the dealer will do if push comes to shove...

Just how much of the internal hood structural support do you think you can hack through and remove before the hood itself decides it's going to warp around the already warping vents ;)

Not quite sure what you're looking for but why not cut out the middle man and possible confusion and look it up yourself here. Phil https://partsouq.com/

I was thinking of creating a mould for them so that they could be scanned into the appropriate software and 3D printed. I know the technology exists but I'm not across the finer details enough to know if it's a practical or fiscally worthwhile proposition. I'm not looking to make money out of...
