I understand it's out of spec, I thought I had mentioned in my OP that the tech said its "not out of spec" when its showing that it is indeed out of spec. Fixed that in my post.

One of the areas that I'm not familiar on is alignment and suspension geometry. Probably my weakest link. Can someone take a look at this and explain to me why the caster would be out of spec on a stock car? Granted I know the factory specs are 7.58 +/- .5 degrees. Tech said the caster on...

Mostly logging what happened afterwards in case someone after me has the same problem, but I agree. If there's nothing stored in permanent memory or no CEL, then its likely nothing to worry about.

I checked the error memory a few days later and all of the codes had went away but one (headunit related.) The info memory still had a ton of events logged, but I've compared this with another supra and it was virtually the same, so at this point my best guess is that I'd treat info memory in...

I imagine if its conforming to Euro6 then there's probably little to no smell at all. As technology has advanced with cats, they are likely less and less of a restriction that they used to be. A high end cat will solve most issues if I had to guess.

The issue with catted downpipes is it becomes a pretty grey area due to the quality of the cat itself. Any car running an aftermarket catted downpipe has the ability to smell. That being said, all cats are also not created equal either. Generally a higher cell count will clean the exhaust up...

Good choice. I looked at a few stratosphere blues and the color is so nice; never was able to get to one in time, though. I ended up with another Nocturnal. But honestly I think the seats really make it for me. Granted I tend to notice odd things about cars, but for me the alcantara seats tip...

Well put. I figured under the generalization, if OP was asking about what gear to do burnouts in, the best likely answer for them would be "none, just enjoy your runs." Worrying about what temp to keep tires at if you aren't sure what gear to do them in (no offense to OP, saying this from an...

That's because I didn't say that. The inability for you to comprehend the position of my point isn't my shortcoming here, it's yours. I didn't doubt that you made the times you said, even though you have still yet to really provide the conditions upon which you made them. I guess that's on...

You likely did make better times with later attempts; My point is I don't think one can say with a high level of certainty that a burnout on oem tires is largely contributing to that. I'd be very skeptical claiming a delta of almost a whole second due to a burnout on street tires. I'm not...

My post was under the guise of if the OP was asking the question the way they phrased it, they would likely be on the OEM Super sports which are going to behave quite differently than a set of purpose bought 200TW's. I personally still wouldn't do a burnout on a 200TW tire myself. Drag slicks...

I believe that you may have gotten a lower time, but I doubt that the burnout contributed to it in a meaningful way. Street tires are meant to operate over a wide range of temps and overheating them can actually cause less grip, that's just how they are designed. Is it possible you cleaned the...

Damn, really? TiL. I figured as far as 3.0's went it was 3.0 Alcantara and the 3.0 Premiums with full leather. Honestly at this point I'm glad I went with the 3.0. Typically I just try and get my cars as fully loaded as possible unless I run into an issue like the top trim not offering a manual...

Based on how you phrased the question I'm going to assume you might not be familiar with why those are done at a dragstrip (that's not meant to be insulting, just how it sounded to me.) Unless you are on dedicated drag tires you are wasting both your time and your tread doing a burnout...

While I have a 6MT, I agree this is largely just youtube click trash. Someone on here needs to just turn back the wheel of time and start putting out actual content instead of clout. I'm at the point where if I hear "whats up youtube" I basically stop watching immediately.

Thats what I just find odd. The car has a clean carfax and autocheck, yet its been through two battery replacements. One was under the customer, the other was covered internally by toyota when it was in dealer inventory. The car doesn't have any sort of abnormal behavior but that is just so...

I would say its about as repeatable as it can get, happens every time. I've tried a few on/off ramps and its consistent whether its a left or right curved on ramp. The car is nowhere near losing traction or anywhere near its limits but the VSC will activate regardless.

I mentioned the whole car was stock, but I guess I should have been more clear, the tires are factory sizes. I'll get to measuring tomorrow for sure. Center of the wheel as in the center cap?

The fronts are the factory pilot super sports. Rears are what the past toyota dealer put on, Firestone Firehawk Indy 500's. Which based on what I can see on tire rack, isn't a garbage tire, but I'd certainly have matched all four with a better but same brand if it were me. tread depth between...

Well, given that it had a battery replaced I wouldn't be surprised. I honestly won't feel bad about it if its just a symptom of maybe being stored at the dealer for awhile and a battery replacement, because I can't find any fault codes, there's no other warning lights on, and the car drives...
