I can't catch a break man? apparently I only buy cars with paper clutches.

2023 MT at 1k mi with JB+, rarely highway drive at all so I can't speak to hyper-mileing it. Always drive it like it was intended, struggle to break above 19 MPG on 93 ? Honestly not bad considering most the miles are ripping around the Appalachians.

Lol, mine honestly sounds a little diesel-y at idle. I guess its not that surprising since the B58 has its roots as a diesel engine + big injectors. It has a little clatter to it, but sounds smooth on throttle and WOT. I was a little nervous since it is way louder at idle than my other cars, but...

Someone just find out this guy's dealership and outbid him on the same car? Not sure how Canada works, but there's no "ordering" in the US. The car can go to anybody until paperwork is signed.

M2 is likely a phenomenal car. I drove the last gen M2 comp on the track and it was arguably better than my MT. That being said, looks like regular traffic compared to the Supra ? The changes from the M240 are meh. I already have a boring daily, I want the least practical, wild looking weekend...

My favorite comment about the car was from my dad when I told him I picked up a Supra. "I'm surprised you went Toyota, always thought you'd end up with a BMW" ? Living out in a somewhat rural area resulted in the new car bringing a lot of attention at work. Its unusual to see them around...

I ended up finishing my Supra break-in at 700 miles (no highway driving). I think 1200 is a bit excessive. Lots of other manufacturers with far more high-strung engines only recommend 500. I am at 1k miles now, and planned to do the first oil change at 2500 mi. I actually just threw a JB plus on...

Are there any other tricks to it? Definitely squeezed the tab down and spent 20 min trying to get it off with no luck till my fingers couldn't anymore ? Think it would help to have the car warmed up beforehand? UPDATE: just use an angled pick to lift up the connector from the back while you...

I think you are spot on here. I understand the appeal of renting, but I held off on getting my nice car until I had my house, which I purchased in 2021. Since then, its gone up nearly 30% in value. It's hard to beat that from an investment perspective. I'm sure it will go back down in the coming...

Sales tax depends on the state. South Carolina has a $500 cap at time of sale, but property tax/registration came in around $950 yearly. I definitely was under 60k everything included on day of purchase. Regarding securing the price on the car before it arrives: I had the sales manager sign my...

Mechanical Engineer for a well known med device company. Good pay, manageable debt, and low cost of living area helped me pull off the Supra at 26. That, and of course, no kids yet ?

Eh 20%+ might help get you a better interest rate. I managed to pull off 4.7% thru Southeast Toyota (would be same for you in ATL) when I put down 21k on the car (total 59k). This was 2 months ago. Determining down payment is definitely a personal choice depending on what you can afford to pay...

I paid $2,000 for full frontal XPEL - front bumper cover, headlights, hood, front fenders. Same shop did side and rear window tint + full car ceramic coat (both XPEL) for $800. Would have been 5-6k for full car PPF. Honestly looks great. There were some bubbles for a month or so but they've...

I think the boost by gear tuning is a little funky... I noticed once driving it this week that 2nd gear pull was kinda weak. Been fine otherwise. 3rd gear pulls ridiculously hard and must have much higher boost targets. I definitely noticed the clutch delay valve effect going 2nd to 3rd...

I'm friends with one of their race engineers, and met one of their drivers, Laura. Gotta go check out their Supra as they're local to me!

Really impressive for 91. Wonder if I'd see any higher numbers on mine running 93... Downpipe probably helped a bit too.

Yup. No custom ordering from the factory. You can have a dealer put in an "order preference" and the regional distributor will try to allocate a Supra that is close to the spec you requested. (ie. I "ordered" an A91-MT and got a 3.0 Premium MT. Whoops!) Yes. Good luck!

TLDR: "Can't quite afford a 911 yet" ? Really though, there aren't a ton of options for a $60k MT RWD sports car. Maybe the Z or the base Cayman, but the Supra had the best performance and appearance for that price point. M2/M4 too hideous for me to consider. Also, what others here already...

I think you might be onto something here. I tore up the stock clutch in my GTI years ago because I lugged the engine too much on my commute, despite being stock tune at the time. Not making the same mistake in my MT Supra. Definitely could be some user-error here. Don't WOT at all in 4-6th...

The point of my post is that the resources and knowledge to dial in a Map 6 are not available on this forum, and they should be. Map 6 is not like creating a flash tune from scratch... It's supposed to be DIY-able. If you'd rather have someone else experienced do it, Jesse is probably your guy...
