They'll probably tell him to work on whatever the third car in the lineup is supposed to be, but at this point, I'm not sure if he'll do it. It all depends on how the MKV ends up, I guess. That being said, Tada-San is smart in that he has a lot of young engineers under him. He's building up his...

I heard "still considered" a little while back but I chalked it up to just letting me down easy

Lmao Tada-San doesn't need to apologize for anything. This is how this new sports car development works.

Where did you find said video? ;)

This article supposedly quotes Tada-San mentioning an "8-speed AT", which of course contradicts the article from a few months back that mentioned a DCT. I'm still sticking to my guns and saying it'll be a ZF-8HP. :cool: 5 million yen for a non-turbo spec is an interesting proposition...

What qualifies as "beat"? It'll probably be lighter, smaller, and far more efficient as far as output/weight. Will it be as strong? No way in hell. There really isn't anything that so gleefully took boost on a stock bottom end since the 2JZ, and I doubt there ever will. The 2JZ is one of those...

Spa gave me good hope for Le Mans. Of course, they're hardly the same when it comes to truly taxing the car, but the team looked to be doing well and Alonso looked comfortable in the car. Wish WEC had a COTA event this year as I really wanted to see the Toyota team in action, but perhaps one day...

Lol he definitely was sure to let me know. He also mentioned a lot of people were going with ECUMaster (I think that was it?) and they've had success tuning on those as well. Apparently it's a little more budget option but still very good according to them, so I might look into that on the next...

Went with an AEM Infinity, definitely regretted it. AEM quality has really gone down the toilet in recent years, and their support team was hardly helpful over a long painful process of sorting out issues. Absolutely would go Pro-EFI if I did it again, that or maybe a Haltech. Or a Motec if I...

Now now, you better watch out or you might start implying that Toyota, the largest car manufacturer on the planet, actually did some level of investigative research before moving into a large-scale partnership with another large automobile manufacturer, despite obvious implicit hurdles that...

I've got a close friend with a very clean 1997 Ren Red BPU 6-speed car if you're interested. ~50k miles and very nicely maintained. Getting him to 55k might be a stretch though, I'm sure he wants 60k for that car.

The E15 regulation is for ethanol content in regular petrol. Download the GasBuddy app and you can search for E85 around you. Shoot, if you want more power then E85 is right up your alley lol. Anything over 14psi and I'd be worried on 93 on a stock bottom end FA20. Who tuned your car, was it...

Beauty of modern day ECUs is that you can have multiple maps that can be changed either with the press of a button, or automatically depending on the fuel composition in your tank. My car makes 707whp and 628lb-ft. 67mm turbo at 26psi. Still a 3.0 as well. If you're living in Illinois you...

Yeah, def seems like a clamshell...

Well, actually, NSX values had pretty consistent growth right up until the new NSX came out, and now both NA1 and NA2 values have plateaued. The new NSX certainly have had some sort of impact initially, but as far as year over year % growth in value goes, after the new NSX came out, the original...

There are no real reliability concerns from having a higher static compression ratio per se. The idea is to better manage effective compression, which is the actual compression seen in the cylinder [((Boost PSI / 14.7) + 1) * Static CR]. The only thing that would be a concern for reliability...

My Supra has 10.5:1 compression on a GTE lol. Wish I could go higher, high comp+boost is fantastic.

Oh wow the fender vents go really high. Also the side scoopy thing is straight packed with snow lol.
