I would have to disagree. In the video at 7 min, the GR Supra MKV has oval bushings, while the V160 MKIV is round (and Ive installed those myself). I just dont see how they work.
shit balls that shifter looks like it feels fantastic! That would be what I’m looking for. Looks like the same job as my previous bmws, sucks to do but not the end of the world
damn I guess I’ve owned way to many shit cars with shit coilovers in the past lol. This thing is smooth compared to past cars, and even my diesel truck rides worse even with lower psi in the tires. That thing rides like a brick unloaded.
you didnt know about demand of the MT?! lol they have only made like 2k of them in manual and some of us took 1.5 years to get it from deposit haha. Glad you got it! You wont regret it and damn, your timing is epic. I love this car. What color did you get?
I had no idea the auto could get that mpg!
I wish my MT had a longer 6th or final drive. It’s sits pretty high at highway speeds. The benefit to that 8 speed is that 80mph 2K rpm cruise.
Just wanted to throw this out there for the Colorado folks, but we have a local supra fb group that’s been going since 2016.
I ran the local supra club for other generations for 10 years before that with local bbqs and such. We have many mkvs in the group including myself who owns multiple...
demand has since dropped a lot, but trying to get a MT when they were released at msrp or not on some list was insane…glad you got yours fast but not all of us got the same luck
Damn this thread makes me envious. My car is dead at the moment, need to put a tender on the battery.
I have like 0 time with my supra so far, newborn baby and work has taken it all.
No shit it’s math, but I wasn’t sure if that was the numbers you mentioned. it’s why I was asking if your numbers were the actual calculation from ratios or if it was what you were seeing while driving rpm vs the Speedo.
For the MT, Is that from the calculation or car? That seems to be what my car says, but not my gps. Car speed is off in mine, need to BimmerCode it to normal. I still Wish gearing was a little lower rpm at 85 would be killer. 85-90 is the going highway speeds here by me
Agreed!!! Seems runs around 3200 rpm at 82ish for me. It should have been slightly taller. Would have loved to see 2800 or so at 82-85.
i wouldn’t be opposed to swapping it out.
Thank you for that! That is a super cool build, and love the box. Whoever made the box should sell them to order. That is slick looking and fits in there so well.
Nice project! Thanks for sharing
