as cool as the MK4 is I cannot fathom people spending 6 figures for one, let alone any 90's "JDM legend".
For the $110K this has been bid up to I'd rather get a used gen 2 Audi R8, or save a little bit longer and get a C8 Z06 brand new. Both vastly superior cars that don't have a sticky cheap...
Been on the FI Exhaust catless for about 6 weeks / 500 miles of spirited driving now. Running stock exhaust with JB4 always-open exhaust valve setting.
No CEL so far. Made the exhaust much louder and the pops quite a bit more aggressive. Also no drone, personally doesn't sound rasp-y at all (I...
for me it was an "1C0101 engine oil pressure regulation" code for a long time, then simply "1C2001 oil pump" when the CEL came on. 2021, 35K miles.
failing to read is almost always an indicator that your pump is in the early stages of failure. Could go a year like mine did before actually...
Tune is not required for any of the simple bolt-ons.
JB4 is cheap and the OTS maps are good enough for a pretty good boost in performance, and when you're ready for an unlock and proper tune you can still sell the JB4 for a chunk of change in return. I'd recommend it if you want some more power...
Assuming you want to safeguard everything and buy new, just going off of what I've researched looking into it myself;
Turbo kit: Let's say Remnant Omega, so $4000 give or take with shipping
Port Injection: $900-$1200 depending on the kit / sales / etc
Manifold: Wagner Tuning is $2500 and has a...
I feel like I'm the only person that exists who actually kind of likes that decal... :dunno:
then again, I'd rather pay $15 to have a sticker shop make them for me than several thousand extra for the trim.
I'm talking about success relative to expectations. The MKIV sold way worse than Toyota was predicting, while the MKV sold as expected if not better.
The market for sports cars in general is smaller as they continue to get more expensive, and people struggle to afford rent/mortgages let alone...
More than likely we'll get a MKVI. The MKIV was a sales flop in the US and wasn't particularly popular outside of it, and that's why it took so long to get a MKV. The MKV was a sales success overall considering dealers are still managing to sell them at mark ups to this day.
Now whether it'll...
Theoretically sport mode puts more strain on the car; but this would be very minor strain. At the end of the day, the B58 engine and ZF8 transmission are both extremely reliable and can take a hell of a lot of abuse. I would worry about what it'll do for your fuel economy (as you find yourself...
You have to really compare both cars in person and in videos to determine which one you would enjoy more. It's not so much about which one is better on the track, or which one has more potential. It's about which one makes you smile more.
If smiling and happiness is a matter of being faster and...
Any local UPS/FedEx store should sell boxes big enough and have plenty of room for packing material; even if they don't, you can always grab multiple boxes and packing tape and Frankenstein something together.
I heard that BMW plans to end production of the Z4 and the chassis itself and hence that's the main contributing factor to the end of the Supra after the 2026 model year. Can't confirm though.
