Yesterday I picked up the car after having aFe sway bars w/ SPL end links installed. They're set on the firmest setting up front and the middle in the rear. Remarkable improvement in the handling characteristics of the car. I'll say, subjectively, the largest improvement in any car I've done...
So about this. After the back and forth in my recent JB4 thread, emailing with @Jesse DaBears, and doing some research, I've landed on an E50 custom map. With the Ignite fuel, do you fill at a local shop, store the fuel at your home, or store it at your remote garage/storage location? It seems...
Nice. Yeah, I also suppose it's a risk if they bring a tech from corporate in (who I imagine absolutely would give a shit) given the newness and expense behind this warranty work. I'm assuming Toyota does this. I know BMW and VW has done it in the past related to work I've had done on cars, and...
To be fair, I've been tracking cars for damn near 25y now and I feel like I have a ways to go with this car - in terms of my ability to get the most out of it - before something like this is going to make an appreciable difference. Though they look cool as shit.
Probably a good call, given they'll likely be ripping into your motor to a large degree and looking for an excuse to deny the, I imagine? I think I'm spoiled that my dealership DGAF about this stuff.
Thanks for this - it's a really interesting read and I hadn't seen it previously. On one hand, they're saying it's (the whole system) to retain heat to prevent true cold-start conditions, but also saying it's so certain engine components (they don't identify) don't have to be cooled to a large...
Nice! Interested to hear your experience regarding jacking up m-blips. I've been meaning to test this out but haven't had a chance. May do this myself when I get my car back from the shop today.
It's wild to me that there are less than 20k of these on the road in the US. I sometimes forget how rare these cars really are. While it's a wildly popular truck, in comparison, Toyota sells about the same number Tacoma's per month than they have sold of the Supra during it's production...
Fun article. I'm telling you, while we all like to joke about 'em (more specifically those behind the wheel of 'em), the current generation Mustang is a fun and fast car. It came down to a Mustang GT PP2 vs the Supra for me when I was shopping for a fun car. As recently as this weekend I had...
Nice! Do you track your IATs? If so, any data showing improvements vs baseline? I'm honestly surprised this isn't a more popular mod we see around here, especially with the folks that track their cars in warmer climates. It seems like an easy button to get fresh(er) air to the airbox prior to...
Right on - thanks. I think you just convinced me to powder coat my wheels white!
EDIT: Has anyone powder coated the stock wheels white? Curious what they would look like.
