Just had my stock wheels powdered. I was looking for more of a bronze than gold but I still quite like this color. Though I'm going to put a gloss clear coat on top to get some more shine, I'm not the biggest fan of satin. Here are some pics in and out of direct sun: It was about 650 or...

See you guys there! Going to Summit on the 26th as well.

I heard the sidewalls are kind of mushy and can mess with handling a bit if you're getting spirited. Otherwise they're pretty solid, especially in cold weather performance. All season tech has improved greatly over the past few years. You're not really sacrificing too much warm weather...

I keep the engine and steering in sport all the time. Damping and transmission follows if I want to have some fun. Had the engine in sport mode pretty much 100% of the time during the break-in period (still followed the manual otherwise), should I worry about any increased wear?

That's $15k or so in interest over the term of the loan. If you're going to spend that much, you might as well finance a new car for a lower rate, but realistically you definitely should wait until you can get a better rate and a bigger down payment. Also, with those credit scores you should be...

To add to this @GenericUser1, it will also depend on the organization's standards. There are two SNELL ratings, those with M prefixes (intended for motorcycles) and those with SA prefixes (specifically for autosports). From what I can see, most organization's will accept M rated helmets for...

For the first 1200 miles, I would let it warm up and give it some ass, but would do my best to keep it below ~75% throttle and 4500 RPM. I let it get above 4500 RPM by accident a few times but it was never under heavy load and it was never for too long, I don't see any issues that'll arise from...

Ceramic coating can go on top of and protect vinyl.

Have you tried being short? It makes living with cars like these much easier :D

I got around $56.5k OTD for 3.0 premium w/ tech package (could have gotten $54k at a different dealership in the area, oh well). No accessories but they gave me free floor mats, lol. Took advantage of the 1.9% APR @ 60 months with Toyota Financial. Put $20k down, no trade in. Monthly payment is...

Currently have the wheels off my car (also to get them powdered) and can confirm mine look exactly the same, it's normal

Besides some quality-of-life stuff and minor cosmetics, mine is all stock. Don't want to go down the rabbit hole of troubleshooting a daily driver with mods. The Miata takes up enough of my tinkering time, anyways.

Regular Car Reviews takes the Supra out for a walk

Gotcha, misunderstood the other post and thought that the carbon deposits was the residue. Phew. I'm only at about 800 miles so I think it's still too early to tell anyways.

Is residue on the pipes a symptom of the oil issue? If so I have some worrying to squeeze into my calendar.

The standoffs were too long on my passenger side but fit perfectly fine on my driver side with no gap. They were all the exact same length. I think it also comes down to the tolerances of one's car as well.

I put some Dynamat in the trunk under the panel to help improve the sound system and reduce some road noise. As a side effect the exhaust is too quiet now. 0/10 would not recommend

It works the same way as Bluetoothing up to separate vehicles. It can only connect to one at a time but you should be able to pair with as many vehicles as you want

Sheesh. Knowing how much money left on the table is making me a bit sad now, that could have been a new set of wheels or something ?

There's this narrow panel on the back of the sub-box that you can remove and punch some speaker ports into that allows the air to escape from the box when the subs are firing, as well as sticking some foam inside the box. It helps a lot with the muddiness and clipping at higher volumes. There's...
