The electric power steering rack on my 2021 went out when my car had 1,500 miles and the dealer had to replace the whole assembly. It’s bone stock and has never been tracked. All I was doing the day it failed was picking up steaks for the grill and I doubt that put any stress on it! ?? I...

It should be good. They meet the Top Tier requirements and it (top tier) is recommended by BMW. I often use Costco when I have the opportunity.

There’s at least two groups meeting up to drive into C&C. One being organized on the ATX90 Facebook page and another being discussed offline. The ATX90 group is meeting at the “Family Viewing Area” near ABIA (see pic of their invite). The other group may be heading into C&C a little earlier...

I’m going and prepaid the entry via the COTA website. The admin on the austin Supra page said he was planning a meetup but nothing has come together yet. I’d like to drive in together but would like to get there early based on my experience with Cars & Coffee San Antonio (cars were streaming...

Same here on listening to the whole thing. I played it in the background while keeping my office door closed and working on things that need to get done but aren't exciting. It convinced me that I shouldn't consider trading in my MKV for a Z anytime soon. ?

Jason Cammisa had some interesting comments about the new Z’s tuning and a few quirks he noticed when filming the Hagerty Z vs Supra drag race video. https://www.nissanzclub.com/forum/threads/jason-cammisa-1-hour-conversation-on-new-z-in-carmudgeon-show.1198/

Toyota Tundra Infinity G37 w 6 speed manual Traded G37 in on car for daughter so I technically didn’t have a car (wife & daughter had cars so no worries) Supra now Z06 next (deposit made long ago) ? PS fav car was ‘66 Mustang (high school and college car)

which exhaust sounds best with the stock cat? I’m not planning to replace the catalytic converter but would like a better sound with dual exhaust exits and keeping the functionality of the valve/sport button. I’m intrigued by the titanium exhausts but haven’t heard one in person.

A few of us were discussing local Toyota service departments during the Supra meetup and I noticed Charles Maund Toyota has been bought by Group 1 Automotive. https://www.bizjournals.com/austin/news/2022/03/08/group-1-automotive-charles-maund-toyota-austin.html?ana=RSS

I just didn’t want to claim it after having a couple of recent claims on my wife and kid’s cars. Unfortunately, Its not the first thing I’ve decided to just cut a check for vs running it through our insurance. ?

Interstingly, I got a quote for OEM glass through the local Safelite and they were $1,500 including calibration (quote attached) The dealer outsources the glass install but it’s done onsite at dealership. Dealership cost breakdown (rounds up to $1400): OEM glass + moulding through parts...

Getting mine replaced and calibrated at dealer this week. ~$1,400 ?

Thanks for posting the flyer. I wouldn’t have known about it if I hadn’t seen it on this page.

Grabbed a few pics! Def cool and exceeded my expectations.

Similar to @AustinGRSupra, I’m in Central Texas and agree the Texas heat is hard on tires. Getting mine changed today at 15K miles and have never tracked my car but enjoy spirited drives in the Texas Hill Country. The rears have adequate tread remaining but seem to have hardened and slip A LOT...

Thought I’d mention this for anyone using an Austin area dealer for work on their MKV (I know, not popular w the Supra crowd but I’m old and work too much to do my own maintenance/service)… Anyhow, I always look for service writers who are true car guys and also try to understand who’s working...

Woke up at 5a and decided to drive to San Antonio for C&C (guess I’m just old since I didn’t have an alarm set). Met the San Antonio crew after they waved me over to the area they blocked for JDM cars. It was mostly Supras (5 MKV plus several other Supras). Good bunch of guys to chat with.

How does San Antonio have a Cars and Coffee and Austin doesn’t? Don’t get me wrong, there are a ton of cool car shows here but bummed to see Cars and Coffee fade away like it did. PS. Went to the TX corvette Association hosted show in Boerne last weekend and it was amazing. No Supras at the...

Anyone heading to San Antonio’s Cars & Coffee?
