Just a general note, but I imagine the inability to tune the ECU across all 2021 models is what's holding back vendors from offering something for the updated motor.
Yikes. I'm starting to feel lucky I didn't have issues with the head unit during the update. Hope they get it fixed soon, though it sounds like, from other owners who have had related issues, the parts needed to fix this are on "global backorder" due to "COVID-related supply chain issues." Which...
I drove it! Been sitting in the garage for almost two weeks. Cloudy 55deg day here. It's amazing how much better the car feels in the cool weather we are now getting in the area. However, I am once again reminded how poorly these stock tires do once the tarmac temperature drops! At least easily...
Yep. I'm thinking more for updates during the year, but I get where you're coming from. Maybe I should throw some time at it! Everyone has lots of free time, right? ? Appreciate the information.
Do you have a recommendation for a specific product for our cars? I agree with your assessment.
Just from a quick search, I found the following transmission mounts...
About 5k miles, factory oil, changed twice now. Autocross and track. Thought the same thing you did about blow-by, so I installed a Verus AOS. While I've not checked it in about 1k miles, every time I've checked it before then it was dry, and I've had the "add oil" message once since I bought...
Fellow Lexington, KY owner what's up? Anywho, if you run into this again, it seems like Toyota on Nicholasville is sitting on a large supply. Just had my recall and oil change done there and they said they had plenty.
I get it, they're not paying someone to maintain a database, but how about a spreadsheet of cars broken down per tab by class? Would probably be a large undertaking as it would need to be built from the ground up, but at least then it would give the maintainers a point to work from moving forward.
Definitely something to keep an eye on, but a quart low after 4300ish miles during break-in is not something I would worry about. The folks should worry who are adding a quart every 1500 miles and having other issues, but your situation even per the manual is normal. I really think this issue...
'21 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road (mine) and a '21 Highlander Platinum (wife). Refreshed our entire stable this model year. Play poker with the Finance Manager at the dealership so we get pretty good deals on Toyota products new. ?
Interesting. Thanks for the information. Just to confirm, while you don't track the car, you haven't felt any difference in the car during spirited driving after installation? I know it's subjective.
It appears you need to dig through the SCCA "FasTrack" publications to find the information, as they publish what cars are classed where in these. It's a little ridiculous there isn't some form of centralized database provided by the SCCA unless I'm just missing something blatantly obvious. I...
Just to add to this: I have this issue on occasion when backing out of my driveway. There's a slope between the sidewalk and street, and unless I go down it at an angle, the car will detect the road as an object behind me and slam on the brakes. If I go straight down, I do not scrape. The grade...
I was poking around a bit and found this monster was also available: https://shop.boostinperformance.com/product-p/hfs-harnessbar-mkv.htm. I'm not sure I would put that in my car without powder coating it, though. Interesting extra mount points. I'm assuming the stock "bar" doesn't utilize these...
This is a hell of a write-up - thank you! Didn't even know this component was available for our vehicles. Can't say I've ever had to address this on other cars I've put on the track, but it's interesting. Did you by chance get a picture of how much slack is in the hole on the subframe which...
