LOL

not as much as I'd like; I spend a lot of time in Japan, some in Arizona/Texas, and some in Europe

No idea honestly

well, all they said is the flagship or top trim I6 will have the iron block, so if a lower spec exists then it may be aluminum block. To add to the confusion, the likelihood of them all being called B58xxx is fairly high (iron block one might get a Toyota name though, at least for Toyota). it's...

lol, well both are great examples of "more than you can afford pal."

nothing Zupra about it lol, but both of my projects are hardtop :)

somewhere between B and C... if the car is indeed heavier than 1400kg, then that would be unexpected from the time I was still on that side; however, one of these I6 trims has that iron block motor with the yamaha tuned head and that is far more badass than the tuned B58 I thought was coming. I...

All my current projects are Lexus. Unfortunately, I am not aware of any entry level sports cars in development atm.

I don't think the project is really about give and take at that level as much as overall. Both companies are partners and as such are expected to help each other as necessary. There was a time when I could have given more detail on that sort of thing (what was used specifically vs not), but at...

This thread isnt the place for that, @Spilner. You guys are free to do that elsewhere, but as my last area of refuge I'd prefer you take that elsewhere. Gonna keep this on topic and more towards Q&A vs endless discussions of nonsense.

Basically it was tested and killed off, and given some newer info it seems that may have been a BMW decision more than anything else which is surprising until you realize they're starting to do that to all their cars. I think if a manual is to ever come along at this point, it would have to be...

My understanding is that neither car will be available manual at this point, but I do believe the parts would be easily adaptable if not a bolt in affair. That said, if those parts don't make it to production in either car then all you have is prototypes sitting somewhere and with them dies the...

I laughed when I saw that, but I'd rather just leave it be. I will say this though: there are interviews going WAY back about the two companies doing feasibility studies, market research, and then starting chassis development, so to say it wasn't a collab is quite comical.

Guff and Chikane have been working on that forever to no avail. Engineering side is separate from marketing/PR, so I dont have much pull on that, and all of the engineers feeding me info aren't technically supposed to be doing that (not to mention me slowly giving it out on here). Tada is the...

I can't say anything on the specific power levels at the moment, but it's not 400+.

Toyota: Crown, Alphard, Auris, Supra. I liked all of them honestly, but my least favorite would be the Auris (it's a simple economy car after all). I've always loved the Hiace and as such enjoyed working on Alphard, but I LOVE the Crown (my favorite Toyota sedan), and the Supra was definitely...

I know exactly nothing about colors and wheels unfortunately, aside from them having a few different final wheel designs they were choosing between. It definitely could just be a compatibility or preference thing, but there might be more to it than that. yeah, target for the 4cyl was 45k and...

nothing new price wise, but a TMS USA analyst recently (past week) messaged me that the 4cyl model may be delayed possibly until Q4 2019. I tried to cross check this with another TMS employee thats higher up in another division and he said it could be true but that all info he had been given...

with that out of the way, back to business: Mram mentioned the oil cap is in a different location and posits that the cylinder heads are different between the two motors. it would explain the different redlines even if both motors use the same block. Need to dig into this further and try to get...
