I wonder how much boost they're running :hmm:. I'm genuinely surprised they brought the compression down that much! The Effective Compression for the B58 in the Z4 at 11:1 comp and roughly 12psi of boost is just about 20:1 ECR. The S58 would have to run 17psi at minimum to match that 20:1 ECR...

Oh man, I remember this sketchy ass exotic car dealership in Chicago that had Supras in and out all the time. Always questionable cars. I test drove a few of them, many of which were in far worse shape than their mileage let on. And then one time I test drove a '94, it was singled on a...

One of us will find out! :cool:

My plans exactly! Hopefully I can get a press car sometime sooner though and maybe sneak that to a dyno. Not sure how happy Toyota will be with that, but it would be good fun! :D

Haha thanks dude! I might just take you up on that offer. That being said, I am on a list for a Launch Edition... :eek:

Dude if you wanna compare it like that, then it's far more similar to the MKIV than the E89 by the numbers. MkIV Wheelbase: 100.4 Overall Length: 177.8 Overall Width: 71.3 Overall Height: 49.8 Track Width Front: 59.9 Track Width Rear: 60.1 The only thing is that the wheelbase is shorter than...

Lucky you, I've been to plenty of funerals after friends crashed Supras. They're not safe cars. Not even close by today's standards. That being said, that wasn't the point of that post in the least.

The cars are both very similar in size, the reason everyone complains about the A90s size is because the greenhouse is bigger, like on all modern cars. The A80 had a small greenhouse and thin pillars, that's why everyone dies when they crash them. I made a long post many months ago talking about...

Yeah, this is basically what that is. On the 86 they had a special head unit that it worked with, but I'm not sure if it's integrated into the MKV's infotainment. More than likely just telemetry logging because this is one of the prototype mules that gets beat on.

Not the best pics, but its overcast so you can see how it'll look with indirect light. This is in TX.

Yeah, I was planning on having him tune my old turbo FRS, but that car ended up getting crashed before I could finish it lol. I've seen plenty of his handiwork though, good stuff!

JR is great, but does he have any BMW experience? Afaik he sticks to the Subies right? I'm sure he could pick up the new software pretty quick though.

Have you guys driven an LC? Lovely cars, but a Supra they are not. I for one would not have been okay with a 4200lb Supra, I'm barely okay with a 3400lb Supra, and that's only because I know there are versions of the car that weigh 300lbs less. Also, I've had the pleasure of getting up close...

Dudeee, love those 911s! Finding a clean one of those seems like it'll be much harder than finding a clean Supra though, especially for a good price! And more than likely, I'll end up just making YouTube videos documenting the build. I'll drop them somewhere in off topic on here though so you...

Oh yeah, she's rough for sure. Been through quite a bit in her life it seems. Fair bit of body damage and even rust that will need going over. Been hit at least once, not the best of repairs. TT Auto, blown twins, but other than that, very mechanically sound (actually has GSC S1s and springs...

Lol while that could have been an option, I decided to just jump the gun and get another one of the old crappy Supras that nobody seems to like :p Although this one might be gone just in time for one of those newfangled MKVs... Who knows? :stirthepot:

Basically, Akio said "Nah dude you ain't done yet" and here we are.

Mayasuki Kai, Shigeki Toyomama, Alain Dujardin, Adrian Von Hooydonk, and Florian Dietrich are all also sources if you care to know. Again, it's far more multifaceted than you or I could comprehend, but we get to make our mildly informed blanket statements on the internet while they don't, so I...

Tada San retired 7 years ago actually haha. And my references are listed in the video description. Believe whatever you like.
