Toyota wanted to make a car that matches the Cayman's performance on the track but for much less than a comparably equipped Cayman. I'm not convinced the LC chassis would have got them there on both fronts, let alone either.
Because if those "100% equal" Chinese no-brand wheels you bought to save a few hundred bucks ends up cracking and snapping on the interstate and slamming you into a concrete wall, good luck fighting your insurance companies to pay for the totaled car and hospital bills because China sure isn't...
The Supra tends to hold its value pretty well regardless of mods, assuming you're only doing light modding / popular mods and keep the stock parts to give with the car. There's a reason you can't get 3.0's under $50K unless they're high mileage or been in a wreck.
That being said, you'll always...
This is more or less what I did, as I was NOT willing to make multiple visits for their techs to "diagnose and try things" before they finally offer to replace the pump itself.
I paid high at around 1800, but quite frankly it was a fantastic shop and every other shop in a 20 mile radius either...
I like darker metallic blue, especially if you get the calipers powder coated yellow or black.
I think (hope) he means that he wants suggestions that aren't too close to the factory Supra blue so that his car doesn't look too much like a stock color?
I'm sorry, I don't mean to come off so hateful towards it. I do like the car, I just think that the price is ridiculous, and that there are vastly superior cars you can get for the money, and I can't understand going from the Supra to the Emira as you'd be jumping to a car that isn't even...
In some ways, sure, but it's not even close to a 6-figure car. What I'm saying is that for $100K I'd rather get something that doesn't try to look like one of the major supercar brands while repurposing uninteresting engines from vastly less expensive vehicles (And, also, isn't a reliability...
It's still a car desperately trying to look like a supercar, while being in the price range of actually very quick and capable cars, while giving you the choice of a Toyota minivan engine, or a Mercedes base model sedan engine. Barf.
The Emira is cool, but not "spend $5K+ in repairs and maintenance every year just to have a car that KIND OF looks like a ferrari/lambo but is slower than a lot of modern luxury SUV's" cool.
The Supra still turns heads even 6 years after they came out. If you're buying a car because the exotic...
why do we talk about it so much? what is so interesting about 0w-20??
0(w) - 20 = -20 because once you multiply W by zero you get 0 minus 20 which equals negative 20.
yeah brighter colors look terrible on this car.
At the very least the lower section of the bottom grille should be depth-matched and color-matched to the front bumper instead of indented and black, that would help a lot I think.
The looks grew on me personally; but only in dark colors (black especially) and lowered with a decent lip and a spoiler.
That being said, the fact that I feel I would need to do all of that to make it a car I like to look at means it's not really a car for me.
For the weight and price, I'd rather get a lightly used M4 X-Drive to be honest.
Then again I don't do any track activities, and I live in a state with nothing but straight, boring roads, so what benefits the M2 would have in handling and cornering don't apply as much to me as others.
Wouldn't...
While not tall, I'm 5'11" and there's definitely times I wish I could push the seat back another 1-2 inches. You can tell that this was a car designed in Japan. I can't imagine someone 6'2"+ or with longer legs than me having a comfortable driving experience in this car, sadly.
It's worth noting that the stock axles are known to fail off just an ethanol tune.
While this typically only happens when hooking good on a hard launch, it's possible that during more spirited drives / launches the axle became cracked/weakened over time, and the load put on it from driving up...
My ex-car was a 370z that I would do nothing but mod mod mod because I wanted to love it but deep down I hated everything about it. Came to realize the Supra is everything I wanted my Z to be in the first place and now we're here.
So aside from a very rare moment of nostalgia, I do not.
Wrong category / Need a pic with a name and timestamp per the seller rules.
EIther way, I'd just keep it tbh dude. It'll help the re-sale value to have the original cat if you ever want or need to move on.
