I think the brakes are about average for a car like this, but IMO, they feel bad which is why I think some folks think they aren't up to the task. The brake pedal has kind of a numb, dead feeling compared to other performance cars I've driven. It's very linear, as well, which means you really...
Completely agree with this assessment. Of course if you're buying this to actually put on a track, and Toyota did their due diligence and truly put this thing in a wind tunnel to develop functional aero components, you probably don't care much about what the additions looks like as long as they...
Has anyone figured out how to startup the car in Sport Traction mode (one press of the button)? I have the car starting in Sport Individual, but I haven't figured out the 2nd half of it. Additionally, is there a way to turn off the pop-up that shows up on the iDrive display when switching...
Good advice - thanks for that. I've put off doing an alignment as I have the Eibach springs on the way (as well as aFe sway bars). After I drop the car I will do an alignment to a more aggressive spec, and to apparently fix the terrible alignment from the factory these cars seem to come with...
Interested in doing this as well. It's not a daily driver for me, but something I autocross, track, and take out on the back roads. Do you feel it improved road feel for you? I find Toyota's boosted power steering on this car to be a bit much for my liking.
Just my $0.02, but I wouldn't necessarily consider a motor that consumes oil inferior to one that doesn't. It's just the way it is. Some cars come with certain fluids that need to be replaced or topped-up on differing intervals, or even not at all. The B58 is proving to be an excellent motor in...
In all fairness, every BMW I've ever owned has consumed oil to some degree with hard driving. Especially my '99 M3 (never should have sold that car) and my 2003 525i. 1qt in 750ish miles would worry me, though.
Thank you - it looks like they stepped-down the after-cat portion of your downpipe correctly. I have the aFe non-catted part and am holding off putting it on the car because they did the step-down backwards before the bend (small bottom piece in the larger top piece) creating a ridge inside of...
Coded Sport Plus on my '21. Set it as the default for engine and transmission in Sport Individual, the mode the car starts in due to other programming. One thing I did notice is that on a cold start, with the car set to start up in Sport Individual (and hence engine in Sport Plus), the car now...
Installed the front Cusco brace on my '21 yesterday and took the car for a short drive afterwards. Definitely an upgrade to the stock bars. Car felt sharper on turn-in and just generally tighter up front, especially over small, undulating bumps. Rear brace going on the same time as the exhaust.
