After four months of careful decision making, last weekend I have said farewell to my Yellow, MY23 MT Supra, after a wonderful 3,600 miles.
Bittersweet, (but mostly sweet... ???) I'll be taking a break from sports cars for a while.
Next could be a 718, G87 M2, or RS3, maybe... whatever it is...
Supra resale is pretty trash now, even salesmen don't know what values will be like in 10 years.
At the end of the day the Supra has a b58 which is in all regular 40i bmw cars, it is good, but it's not special.
The GT4 is a Porsche, it's prestigious, has some of the best engines and gearbox, in...
Hello - the engine is smoothe as butter and so long as you don't start messing about tuning it, it will be extremely reliable! :) Search for the Car Care Nut on youtube and other B58 mechanic videos, generally this engine is one of the safest and well built.
Also, rock chips are not too bad if...
Selling:
- 1 x Allweather Boot/Trunk liner - used, as new.
- 2 x Rubber premium custom Floor mats (rhd) - used, very good.
- 1 x 1L GR Supra oil - new, unopened.
Prices *exclude* delivery - please ask questions and I can quote delivery with royal mail, for postage and packing costs.
Item #1...
Thanks Phil. These things are very difficult to explain in writing, I did my best effort in my original post but perhaps still unclear.
To recap - I do agree with people that the MT is superb, no doubt, but yes reverse gear is silly, and 1-2 can be lurchy sometimes, but my post is a bit...
You are right, yet, at the same time, when I saw the valuations for the car, the personality of this car equals "broke ass"
Thanks for the long message.
Yes IMT on but seems not to work upshifting.
No I never shift low rpm really and this issue is specifically when travelling fast, and yes I...
I am glad consensus seems to be a car issue/design feature so I can rest easy, but at the same time annoyed at this - makes me want to switch to an auto. ?
I've been driving manual for 13 years but the Supra is the first rwd powerful manual car, so really just about 1.5 years of experience with a rwd high torque MT trans.
I have been diligently learning safely how to properly modulate the throttle on hard accelleration especially in 2nd gear which...
Hi yall,
I'm considering swapping the Supra for a '24 M2 later this year, but this post isn't for the "to M2 or not to M2" thread, it's specifically to ask anyone that has a Harman Kardon system in a new BMW, even better if it's the one in the newest M2, to let me know if it's any good please...
Hey, I know you shared some good insight previously, I think for me (can't speak for everyone) it is mainly because of the impact of brexit leaving the EU over the last few years and how it has changed the entire world of shipping for us over here, still adapting, I get paranoid about it as...
