Lol, I know I’ve heard that plenty of times when I tried buying a Civic Type R. Are there very many Toyota dealerships in PR? How many other Supras are within your radius?

@a90moe, if you’d like to fabricate and put together your own catch can kit, I’m sure you’ll have plenty of customers in just this thread alone lol

Cast your net wide and hope to catch a good deal. I would reach out to multiple dealerships and propose your sales price, the worst thing they can say is no. Don’t fall for the “it’s a limited edition so markup reflects market value” garbage. Patience is key my friend :thumbsup:

Here was a little snippet from a car and driver’s article that tested various octane gas in multiple vehicles. Not entirely shocking. Settling for lower octane fuel for a vehicle calling for higher octane leaves performance on the table. This is not a moot point. Likewise, putting higher...

I heavily considered buying a Type R, but all the dealerships in CA had ridiculous markups. Best OTD price I got was about 48k. Quite laughable considering that that was the sales price of the Supra I bought. Cool car yes, Supra cool, nah :yes:

A gas thread- a sure fire way of instigating a futile debate :doh: So, in conclusion: put whatever gas makes you sleep better at night. Save the debating for things that actually matter like Coke vs Pepsi, IOS vs Android, or if a pound of bricks falls quicker than a pound of feathers.

If we are discussing running 87 octane on vehicles closer to sea level, there will be a difference in performance. There’s a reason why tuners will only tune for 93 (or in my circumstance crappy California 91) or higher. As OP posted earlier, the higher octane helps with knock resistance...

I whole heartedly agree with you. Sacrificing performance to save a couple of dollars isn’t worth the trade off IMHO; however, it is ultimately OPs decision, so be it. Although I will say, it’s quite strange buying a sports car just to cheap out on gas, even if modern day ECUs are capable of...

Excellent explanation and solution to an annoying problem. Will definitely give this a try. Another idea I had was placing felt tips on top of the rubber pieces, but this seems much simpler (and cheaper lol).

Out of curiosity, is the logo on the maxton lip removable? Otherwise, looks great and I agree, it does look more OEM compared to other setups.

Agreed. They shouldn’t be selling these products if they aren’t doing what they’re intended to do. Manufacturers are so quick to be first and rush products out without doing proper R&D. They’re letting the consumers be the guinea pig which is actually quite concerning.

For sure, I know a couple of similar BMW engines suffer from oil accumulation as well. On the next service for my M3, I’ll pick my mechanics brain and ask what the solution might be or what causes this. You are running an aftermarket turbo right? I’m wondering if that is also allowing excess...

Thanks for taking the time and updating us @a90moe . Ugh, this must be super frustrating. That intake is absolutely drenched. So zero in Mishimoto can and zero in forge can. Looks like they are both failing at serving its purpose.

Auto start stop can still be enabled in sport mode :hmm:

I’m no expert, but I think two 5 gallon containers not being stored for longer than 2-3weeks should be alright :thumbsup:

Ooof, yea that’s pretty far lol. If you end up stocking up, I’d find something that would store it up tightly. Supposedly E85 sucks up water and long term storage would collect water. Not the best thing to throw in a tank :eek:

Took my car to a car meet and all the comments I got were all positive, even a police officer approached me and we had a real good conversation about the car. There’s always people who will be hating. Look at the muscle car community, don’t even get started with a Mustang Vs Camaro argument lol

I totally agree. Unless you’re running some thick as molasses engine oil, cold starts or driving right after starts shouldn’t be a major issue.

Secret menu is a PITA to get to, so I just wait until the engine coolant temp gauge on the far right sits in the middle for a little bit. My thought process is if the coolant is warm, the oil should follow :thumbsup:
