I’ll have to find that video. They’ve got some work ahead re-coding the ECU but they’ll get it right eventually.
Also of note from the SEMA video:
The only bolt-in gearbox they could use was one from a Euro-only BMW 520D. 1st and 2nd especially feel a bit long according to them such that...
I'm curious... if the ideal case scenario for Toyota is to make money from this Heritage Parts Program (which of course they would prefer as an incentive to keep doing this) then will sales of these parts be limited only to MKIII and MKIV owners providing a VIN number or can anyone order these...
Apologies if these videos have already been posted in another thread but in case anyone missed it, European Auto Group made good on their promise to sell A90 B58 manual conversions. A few kinks to work out in the software but it seems they took care of everything on the hardware side and it...
I've seen three different ones running around locally so far. Only one up close though (an LE at a local dealer). These are not high sales volume cars and I agree with ToyoBMW that most likely many are weekend cars. At the very least they are two-seaters after all.
But they also haven't been...
Here's an old article from 2008 that rather echoes this rumor of Toyota and Subaru co-developing a WRX STI and new Celica GT-Four with an STI boxer engine at the heart of it.

If you think about it the way the 3S-GTE's...
This is WAY more interesting even if it's just a one-off to gauge interest. 900hp electric (it doesn't even need that much power) bolted to a beefed up MT82 6-speed manual with a Torsen T-2 mechanical diff. Now that's how you do a "fun" electric Mustang. Do electric vehicles NEED manual...
And here it is folks:

It looks nothing like a Mustang other than the ripped tail lights and vague front end treatment. And that chassis definitely has nothing to do with a Mustang. A RWD layout this will...
My thoughts here are... they're focusing on a two-door coupe layout? And with a new performance AWD system? For an STI two-door variant reminiscent of the 1998 22B STI?
And Tetsuya Tada has said before that he'd like to see the Celica GT-Four come back?
This would strongly suggest that if...
I'm not sure if Japan's BestCar magazine is the most reliable source but if this is true it's very cool news.
So it's stated here, Toyota and Subaru have developed a new AWD system that will continue to use the FA20 turbo engine.

^^ Having visited Jonathan Ward's ICON shop and looked over (okay, more like oogled) all of the FJ40, Defender, Bronco and other projects he had there at the time I can't think of a better inspiration for an FJ40 project :) What they do with their client vehicles is amazing.
500k miles from...
A70, that is one of the most depressing future forecasts ever.
Quirky cars we can drive are not everything in life but just being able to experience them without being filthy rich as an entry point is something very significant.
I’m sad that this is where the future will go. I am sure it will...
What I still do not understand is why nearly all manufacturers save the few ultra-expensive luxury supercar brands that pretty much only do those kinds of vehicles see almost no room whatsoever but for crossovers, CUVs, SUVs and worse than that, any of those that drive themselves only.
How is...
Meh... it's a crossover "Mustang" but not actually a Mustang at all. I am interested in what Ford might do with a hybrid or EV powertrain in the actual next-gen Mustang chassis (to be shared with the future standard RWD Explorer no less which will make it bigger unfortunately) but a crossover...
Congratulations on your purchase, Performance! Having helped restore one of these before you already know what you're getting yourself into, lol. I've seen this firsthand occasionally helping with and keeping tabs on a friend's '80 G-Wagen 2-door frame-off restoration and I6 turbodiesel engine...
This could well be a final update for the Z34. Or a test mule. No telling. All we know for sure is that Nissan execs recently affirmed that the GTR and Z will get new generations and that the GTR will be 100% developed in-house. They left it up in the air as to whether or not Nissan would...
It looks good in the teaser image. Ekanoo Racing's body kit so far looks the best but from what I can see of the TRD look it's good as well. I will need to see that massive wing in detailed images at many angles.
The real sauce will be what performance parts or tune(s) beyond a body kit...
Boomer64, do you happen to have the Lexus part number for this factory dash cam accessory? I've been looking into aftermarket options but I had no idea Lexus offered their own.
Further, based on your description of the installation in your MKV would I be correct in assuming that, other than...
For what it's worth, custom-to-car VSM mount systems (onto which you can mount a cellphone, iPad, Garmin GPS or just about anything you want) for many popular makes and models have been available from both Pro-Fit International and Panavise for years.
I have used vehicle-specific mounts from...
