Thanks! That's good to hear. I hadn't dug into the install process yet and didn't know how much of the interior trim needed to be removed. Did you use a trim removal tool or did things pop off pretty easily without it?
Thanks. The wife and I are expecting our 2nd kiddo (with all of the associated preparation), so the attractiveness of pressing a button, receiving a part a couple of weeks later, then taking a couple of hours in the garage on the weekend to install it is nice. Or paying someone else to install...
It's definitely an option, but just another thing on a list of things to do in life in general that I probably wouldn't get around to in any reasonable amount of time.
Does anyone have any experience with Kansai parts in general? Haven't run across them in the past.
I'm looking specifically at this part to use as a harness bar and GoPro mount point...
FWIW, I ended up running in RTU and coming in 8th out of 11 entries. Given what I was up against, I actually felt pretty good about the finishing place and times I was putting in. I do plan on running in ASP from here on out until the SCCA sorts out the classing for the vehicle in Street Touring.
Just curious: For a dedicated track car, is there a reason you'd run the 4S over the Cup 2 (sticking with the Michelin brand)? Looking for better standing water performance? Besides that, and cost, I suppose, I can't think of anything.
I don't have any just driving around or going over bumps. It kicks in when pushing the car hard and revving through the range with my catted AA downpipe and AWE Track exhaust, however. I expected this due to how loud the setup is.
Took my '21 to the dealership for its first ToyotaCare service (oil change + multi-point inspection) and had the ECU flashed for the brake assist recall. I know people don't like to take their cars to the dealership for service as they seem to always have a bad experience, but I love my...
Just closing the loop on this. Put 'em on, did some higher-speed runs and raced in an autocross yesterday. Was so nice to have the windows down and not get pummeled. The AWE solution works as advertised!
Agreed. I do think Lewis will take the win here unless there's an incident that takes him out prematurely. Sad to see McLaren struggle (I'm a fan), with Danny Ric going out of quali early and Norris not as high as he normally is on the grid.
Love that white Red Bull, though!
Looking great, man! I need to schedule that appt with the body shop and get mine put on. Eager to see some other pics and data regarding IATs pre- and post-installation.
Agreed. With some exceptions, most of the people posting in this thread seem to be within the Toyota/BMW specs for oil consumption. If you're worried about it, using a heavier weight oil may be beneficial. There has been some anecdotal evidence indicating such.
I've been running the JB+ for a while now on the highest setting. Great little device, easy to install, could feel the difference right out of the gate. I'm using it for the same reasons you're considering: Wanted something I didn't have to mess with while using a limited number of bolt-on mods...
The track version I have literally rattles the house on cold start. However, once the car is warmed up, even it is barely louder than stock at idle (just with a deeper tone).
