Correct, not too many off the shelf options. BMW branded oil would be another option. Castrol makes one but it tends to be out of stock and only sold online. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Castrol-Edge-0W-20-LL-17-FE-Advanced-Full-Synthetic-Motor-Oil-5-Quarts/347089927

The owner manual says any oil that meets C5 or LL17FE+ will be in compliance with the warranty.

This thing is going to cost like 80-100k lol

What class are you running? I’m not sure what your Autox experience is but these cars are pretty fast in B street already, which is just tires, front camber, and front bar. Just IMO, Autox is 90% driver and 10% hardware. Focus on the driving and you’ll figure out what you need to tweak to get...

Little disappointing about the downsized 2.0 turbo engine with additional hybrid hardware. This will almost guarantee that the new gen will be heavier than the mark v. I think the bmw powertrain is superior to anything Toyota can build but that’s emissions for you.

You need more shock travel. You’re most likely riding on the bump stops with the lowered springs. The bump stops are engaged even at OEM height. You can check if the bump stops were trimmed or install the OEM springs.

Some sales people don’t get to see incoming inventory. They only see it when the manager makes it available. Toyota.com inventory can sometimes be quicker than what the sales people see.

i just noticed bilstein started listing their EVO R kit in their north american site. i think the bilstein dealer network still isn't as good as MCS' if you need to get rebuild/tweaks done to the shocks. Complete Kit (bilsteinus.com)

it doesn't hurt to ask, but don't expect toyota USA to do anything. these large corporate entities cannot do anything that deviate outside the standard process. dealers essentially handle 99% of the customer service related questions, and unfortunately not all dealers provide the same customer...

no such thing as non-refundable. dealers just say that to filter out the curb kickers. it's a hassle for them to process refunds. you can threaten that you'll take them to small claims court if they don't give you your refund. toyota dealers can't order anything from toyota USA. they're given...

this is exactly why dealers hate working on low volume cars. they essentially lost money working on your car. it's good the dealer owned up to it. this is why i don't bother with any complimentary services on low volume cars. the techs couldn't care less about your car. and why should they at...

the dealer can hide the car from the inventory site if i recall correctly. they may do this especially when a car is pre-sold so customers stop asking about the sold car.

OEM components have OEM build and reliability. Aftermarket parts seem to always have issues and you'll want to inspect it more frequently. SPL recall anyone? i would still prefer a set of $15 crash bolts than $600 worth of OEM knuckles. not to mention, they're 100% easier to install.

if i was a GM of a toyota dealer and seeing how rare Supras come in for service, i'd only pay for 1 senior tech to be supra certified. not surprising, that's how most toyota dealers operate. not to mention, the supra requires specialty tools that the dealer/tech pays for with their own money. a...

i guarantee you anytime the tech sees a supra, they dread working on it. a toyota tech can knock out jobs blind folded. supra requires special tools, getting familiar with the procedures, etc. techs are paid per job. the more jobs they do, the more they get paid. they don't want to work on your...

it's fine to do track mods even if the driving skills aren't there to extract the performance out of the parts. i would group mods into the following: minimum safety mods: "track grade" brake fluid and pads recommended: RS4 or V730 tires additional negative camber in the front. you can...

what don't you like about the stock suspension?

i'd suggest building towards a specific class (e.g., SCCA time trials). that way it makes it easier to pick and choose your parts.

Damn. Don’t tempt me.

a good performance alignment with driver weight. just being within the tolerance window isn't a performance alignment.
