Video of the AA downpipe and AWE Track Edition exhaust on my untunable '21:
Note that I turned Active Sound Design (fake engine sounds) off before taking this clip. Overall, it's quite loud (video doesn't do it justice), rumbly, pops and crackles like gunshots at times, and has a very deep...
Good find - thanks for digging that up! I admittedly haven't done much searching, but this is the only one that came up on Page #1 of the Google search results. With an open cone-style filter you could definitely benefit from this (assuming it works as advertised), but even without it, and the...
This is an old(er) thread, but it popped up in a search about the topic. Looks like Mishimoto has released a turbo blanket here. Says it's currently for 2020 cars, so not sure if that means 2021 as well, as a lot of sites don't differentiate. Anyone running one of these or considering it? Is...
This has happened to me a handful of times. Most commonly after I reconnect the battery after doing some kind of work to the car. Like the owner noted above, this is normal for these cars and an internal mechanism used to protect the engine. Did the OP or anyone else experiencing this issue have...
As a general rule, what mods would be unsafe to run without a tune, besides the obvious like a different turbo, messing with the FI, etc. I'm trying to think of a bolt-on you'd need a tune for to make it safe and I'm not coming up with anything. Sure, you may not take full advantage of what it...
I wear polarized sunglasses, which makes the HUD practically useless. I also don't like how the HUD blocks my vision on hilly country during nighttime driving, which I often find myself in. So I turned it off. All of the relevant information is displayed in this area when the HUD is disabled...
Interesting - I thought I was a universal average for your engine type ("universal" across makes and models that use that engine) and not across all motor oil they analyze full stop.
Just want to note that even with the stock exhaust, installing the AA catted downpipe introduced some noticable rasp. It's just what happens with any higher-flow cat on these cars. Having the AWE track installed this week and will report back (and grab some sound clips) with what it sounds like.
Thanks for the perspective. I'd love to hear your opinions after a day at the track. You echoed what I tell people about the ZF8 as well - can't believe it's a torque-converter-based transmission. Seems like they got it right with this one, and probably the reason BMW is moving away from DCTs...
I'm curious of your opinions on the ZF8 in the Supra compared to the PDK for track work? I drove a Porsche 911 Turbo S on their track in Atlanta, GA that had a PDK, but it was tough to compare, as it was a short period of time and I didn't own the Supra at that point (this was 2 years ago).
A dealer near me has had a 3.0L and a 2.0L sitting on the lot for a bit now. They're probably eager to move them (DM me if you're interested and I'll send you the contact information). Personally I'd try and get a deal on a '21 once the '22s arrive. You may not get your color choice - just have...
Man that's awesome. Great color for that car. Mine was silver... can't remember the name of the silver specifically. Had the upgraded wheels and the wing on the back from the factory. I actually ran Mobile 1 5w-40 in that car for most of its life given how much I was hammering on it. Served me...
Thanks for the information. Just changed my oil for the first time at 2700 miles (sent a sample to Blackstone) and decided to put the factory 0w-20 after I was not able to get the 5w-30 weight oil I wanted (Shell Helix Ultra) quickly enough, due to an upcoming track day and needing to get the...
What do you guys think about this video: . I love the Throttle House guys, but they seem to possibly be confused about the A90 vs A91 thing and the years, or they're just not communicating it effectively. What they seem to be saying is that the 2021 A91 was significantly faster than the 2021 A90...
Wait... the hood latches? I wondered why it kept popping up and flying off at 130mph+. I'm on my third hood in two months.
FWIW, I'm one of those guys trying to figure out the engine oil consumption "issue," and think the 0w-20 is fine for 98% of the people out there who own these cars. They...
