Paint matched looks quite good. I bought a set from Rexpeed a few months ago but have been too busy/lazy to install them, they do a pretty good job at paint matching them. If you don't wanna spend the money on paint matched ones, tinting is better than nothing. Most of the pre-cut sets of tint...

That error sometimes happens if your rear tires have different pressures, temperatures, or wear levels (and therefore thickness/diameter) - I once got it when my car was parked half in the sun and half in the shade with a 15 degree difference in tire air temperature. When this error message...

Depends on the wheel, as not all 18" wheels have the same clearance. For example (if I remember right) 18" RPF-1's do not fit over the stock non-FE calipers, but there's quite a few other 18" wheels that users here run for track days that do fit. The difference from one wheel to another can be...

RBK European Auto Repair in Largo. Did a flawless job on both instances I needed something fixed (the other being a broken window actuator), and in the case of the oil pump they even let me inspect the undercarriage and engine bay + showed me the damaged pieces of the old pump before finalizing...

I'm running 265/35/19 on my fronts with roughly stock camber with no issues. +22 offset w/o spacer. Not sure if there's rubbing issues with it being lowered though, as I am on stock ride height, but there's quit a bit of clearance so I'd wager a guess that you're fine if you don't crank up the...

Personally, I don't see why someone would buy a sports car like the Supra, wrap it with such low mileage, then leave every little other thing stock, unless they decided a wrap would be better or cheaper than getting the paint repaired/redone. The Supra is not particularly cheap to wrap after...

For some of the more simple tasks, I'd trust myself if I had no experience working on the Supra before I trusted Toyota's "trained Supra techs". If you're really adamant about not doing your own work, and what you need done isn't warranty work, go to a euro/BMW specialized third party shop with...

Wow it's annoying to have TPM errors go away then pop up after 3-4 miles of driving instead of just being always on when no sensors are installed. I take it bimmergeeks is the only way to code it out still or does bimmercode/link have that ability? We've come full circle and now Razor is the...

Real pros do their own balancing and shave metal off the wheel itself until it's balanced instead of using wheel weights.

Surviving (and a little luck) doesn't necessarily mean it's actually safe. Same thing as how some VQ37 owners manage to push 700+ WHP no problem on the stock block and transmission for years without issues, even though the commonly agreed "safe" power/torque limits for the engine and...

Supposedly some people have snapped them on the streets with E50 tunes and semi-slicks, but most confirmed instances have been at the drag strip and often with radials. I'd imagine that if they're going as far as to buy radials and E-blend, then a lot of those people who broke their axles are...

There isn't any specific circumstances that cause the failures with the plastic-insides oil pumps of the earlier B58's. If you can read your oil level just fine (i.e. the i-drive oil level check completes instead of stopping half way) you're safe for now. There is literally nothing you can do to...

ZE40's installed. I'll take better pics for the aftermarket wheels thread after I wash the car again and give the suspension more than 5 minutes to settle. 19x9.5 +22 / 19x10.5 +35 on PS4S's 265/35/R19 295/35/R19 in diamond dark gunmetal.

Collision centers suck at aligning panels with the Supra, I had to get a bit of bumper work done last fall and they weren't even close to centered when they put mine back on. If you have a good space and know what you're doing it'd be worth it to just remove the bumper entirely and re-install...

That kind of money gets you a high quality dual-exit valved exhaust with cash to spare for a downpipe, or multiple single exit's from high tier brands (even in titanium). I wouldn't spend that much on a non-valved single.

Yup, I never felt the need to do that though, doing the range divided by MPG thing has been accurate to within 0.1 gallons every time for me. You do, however, need to have a lot of miles driven without resetting your MPG estimation for it to be accurate though.

This is what I get when looking up BMW fault codes.

Late to this one, but I have the same downpipe and it sometimes throws a CEL when I get on the gas too hard before the car is properly warmed up (4 ticks on the right temperature gauge). Probably happened 6-8 total times since install over a year ago. Assuming yours was having the same issue...

I jest! Honestly, I'm not really sure what worthwhile and cost-effective non-manifold-upgrade options there would be for IAT reductions on this car, aside from the obvious "turbo heat shield and better insulation on the airbox", which don't usually make too much of an impact. In regards to...

You want low-cost? Bag of ice on top of your intake, 2nd bag on top of your charge pipe / stock manifold, swap for new bags after every lap.
