The four-pots are starting to be listed by dealers for low 30s. I'm pretty sure most 2.0s will end up either clapped out or B58 swapped.

I was on Toyota's site yesterday and they have the 2025s listed, but no special edition at all. I don't think they plan to do anything for the US market. IIRC this is the only year the Supra didn't receive a special edition.

Their designs also need to last through the warranty period, meet emissions/environmental/fuel economy/NVH requirements, be straight-forward to manufacture, work with their assembly lines. Any aftermarket part that's a cheap performance gain sacrifices one of those metrics, usually...

The BRZ/86 has a surprisingly footprint (area between the wheels) for what it is. The difference in wheelbase between the A90 and 86 is the difference in wheelbase between the 86 and Rav4. The 86 even has a longer wheelbase than the A80.

I guess the big question is what generation Celica will the Mk8 be modeled after. The RWD Mustang competitor of the A generations, the FWD/AWD T generations, or the ultra light (2400lbs) FWD of the 7th gen. If it's RWD, it steps on the toes of the 86, if it's AWD, it competes with the GRC, and...

Luckily, I live in an area with a large dealership that doesn't do markups, but they are first-come, first-serve, so I'd need to be in the dealership with a deposit the day ordering opens. (which is how I got my A91MT for MSRP).

Given that no street car can come close to an F1 car in terms of experience, I'm kind of surprised that they all aren't driving around Land Rovers or G-Wagens.

I'd pull the trigger on one of these if they came to America for under $75k. I get that a downpipe, tune, and KW4 suspension can get you 90% of the way there, but KW4 coilovers are like $5k + install and add in the cost of DME crack and a license/tune.

I've never had a problem getting in and out because I naturally duck like I'm stepping into a boxing ring when I get in. However, I cannot for the life of me get into a Corvette because I'll wack my head Throttle House Intro-style every. single. time. because I get in the same way. So I guess...

I'm curious, are you running the factory alignment?

Even without a governor, the manual doesn't have enough gear to go much faster without bumping up the redline (assuming it makes enough power up there). At 80, mine is turning at around 3000 RPMs.

That's how these thing have gone historically. New buyers want the automatic at a higher rate than long term used buyers will. And that imbalance drives the demand for the manuals, and causes them to hold their value better. So in that sense, history is playing out as expected. That being...

These are my favorites because they can be a bit of, "if you know you know". Plus, they can fly under the radar and look like a regular plate to people who don't get it. I just appreciate stealth references over in-your-face ones. A plate with "TC SN197" on a Mustang isn't advertising the the...

IMHO, this is the least outrageous item on that list. GT3 cars are all the rage rn. Even Ford built one out of a Mustang. Plus, building a race car is so much cheaper than designing and selling a low volume sports car. The MR2 is the most outrageous claim on that list, by a long shot. It's...

I suppose the Celica could end up being the American GR Yaris (translation: 2 door GRC), with the MR2 being a backwards Celica, like in the 00s -- I'm not sure how close these chassis were underneath, but the W30 shared a ton of components with the Celica and Corolla, so much so that a 2ZZ from...

Eurocharged in Fairfield does great wrap work.

Luckily for you, most car people hate the 2.0T and it doesn't hold its value nearly as well as the 3.0. So you'll be able to swap the 3.0 for a 2.0 in the future and come out ahead. I wonder if a lot of your regret stems more from losing the automatic though.

I finally got around to switching to an iPhone, and now that I have access to CarPlay, I was wondering what apps people are finding useful for their Supra? I was hoping there's some app that can turn the head unit into an auxiliary gauge cluster (boost, oil temp, IATs, etc), but any...

The car probably uses the same switch for all of it's operations that first check if the clutch is depressed. So adjusting how much clutch travel that's needed for the car to register a declutch is to change the size of that button.

Shouldn't yall apply for statehood already?
