^ agree with @B58_ hwAyaq and @SuupYota. My above post is just my personal opinion that its just generally a bad time to buy used.
That said, I'm on the hunt for another lightly used sports car to bring home myself and if I could find one in good condition and at a decent price I'd buy it...
My personal opinion: I don't think its worth it to buy used right at this moment, unless you have the disposable income to buy it outright or don't care about paying tons of interest on financing it. Financing is no longer cheap and APRs on used vehicles are pretty high at the moment.
If you're...
Agree with you - would have loved to get the Redline 360c… but it was so expensive and I told myself I don’t need the jammer/stealth functionality since detectors are not illegal in CA.
I have a Uniden R8 in the Supra and an Escort Max 360c MKii in the daily.
The R8 has slightly better range - but every single Honda Odyssey/passport, a few Mazdas and a handful of other cars will trigger false k-band alerts.
The Max 360c MKii has slightly less range than the R8 (if the R8...
@kaj Haha. Yeah I did say “excluding driver skill.” Hoping to eventually get on a track with the Supra, but currently slaving away and saving towards another addition to add to the stable.
In the same boat as you and Im waiting on tuning for now. CA emissions is annoying AF.
@kaj - you’re completely stock right? Do you know what spec that Cayman is that you’re ahead of?
Don’t get me wrong. Love the MKV but a 718 GTS should be faster around a track stock vs stock - excluding driver skills.
Do it yourself and save the cash. Plenty of folks on here have installed themselves (me included) without issue.
Also it’s generally the same steps on other cars to replace the steering wheel (I also did it on my GLA45 as well after doing the Supra) so might as well use the opportunity to learn...
Recently in the past six months or so tried out Ali Express. Not items for the Supra, but mostly exterior parts for the daily (GLA45) as there’s really not much available for it here in the States. Things ranging from large carbon fiber bumper replica OEM parts, carbon fiber mirror caps...
I also used Safelite recently to replace the front windshield on the daily driver and it went well. They offered mobile service and did the replacement in our garage.
Curious, what calibration is needed for the Supra? Is it because of the HUD?
Haven’t seen a lip spoiler that looks bad on this car - whether it’s black, carbon or paint matched (like mine). Looks good. I say keep it on there.
Same setup on mine. Looks clean - almost like it’s OEM.
Honestly for anyone looking to get a body or lip kit, expect it to get ruined - especially if you’re lowered. I paid for expensive kits on past cars and always had a fit when I’d get that first scratch on the front lip.
Which is why I...
See. This is why I don’t come to the forums too often… I get tempted into buying things. But I am super excited to try out GT7 in VR.
And yes, that’s my gaming setup in a closet… don’t judge me.
Dang... y'all making me want to get a PSVR2 now just for GT7. Have GT7 and a Thrusmaster T248 wheel... last I tried VR though, it was a shooter and I got motion sick real fast.
Guessing the corkscrew at Laguna Seca will probably do this to me in VR - never driven that track in real life, but...
Alright guys, so I some how ended up with yet another set of Maxton V3 side skirts.
TLDR: FedEx bent the first set I ordered and a claim was filed, I bought another set while they were still in stock, and this is the replacement set for the first. Don’t have the first set anymore - those are...
Like others I’ve been a BMW fanboi - but never could afford an upper trim/powerful one until a few years ago. However the stock speed/power in the Supra/B58 feels “normal” to me now and anything less than 300 horsepower feels slow.
Problem is the wife is hooked on horsepower now. She was all...
Was that on a cold start? That's how my 2022 (engine bay is stock) sounds on a cold start, but if the car is slightly warmed up it sounds kind of violent.
Skip to 20 sec in clip below. Started the Supra in sport mode after I pulled the cars out of the garage.
Recorded in Dec 2022 - soon...
I think this is a concern for people who managed to activate CarPlay via coding or however (Not an expert on this on the Supra since my MKV has factory CarPlay). MMIPrime is a box setup so a dealership update should not mess with CarPlay/AA… although if you had to code in aux audio or anything...
This is how it works for all aftermarket AA/CarPlay kits through a box. The box is basically just a fancy splitter - it either displays the stock infotainment or displays CarPlay/AA via the box. The written materials that came with mine had instructions for several brands (Audi/MB/Lexus/bmw) and...
Yep, for an aftermarket solution the Roadtop Kit is really good. Recently installed one myself in the the daily (GLA45) and it wasn’t difficult at all.
Yeah, games like WoW you age out of. Those types of games reward more time spent in game and it’s hard to keep up with that as you get older and have more obligations (work, wife, kids). The recent Expacs made it just a constant farm sink and ain’t nobody got time for that. But I guess thinking...
