Interesting. How does this work? I assumed one could poll PT-CAN for actual delivered torque and the display merely calculated HP from that data. But if you can fake out the display, that can't be how it works. As an aside, I saw on your YT videos that your HP goes to 600 under WOT, is that...

At the track, I usually rev to 3500 and side-step the clutch. This is good for a 1.7x 60 ft on factory tires. On the street, side-stepping at 2500 works pretty well. I've out-launched automatic AWD cars with more HP on the street. For all the hate the CDV gets, it does make launching the...

Other companies have done this before. Ford in particular has offered tunes for several of their turbo cars which add more power and maintain the warranty. (I believe the FoRS tune was from Mountune - so not even an in-house tune). So it's something that absolutely can be done. But I doubt...

These are going for well over $100k. There's two cheap ones I found online for under $120k (probably in an accident). But for the most part, $130k + tax is the entry fee for a '22 GT4. The 4.0 GTS is a little cheaper though $95-115k.

Are we actually getting a final edition in the USA? Toyota's website doesn't have it listed as a trim level. I just assumed this meant they were going to keep selling the Supra here for another model year and 2027 would be our "final edition" year.

The only think Razorlab likes is a friendly discussion of oil weights.

That gives some serious Viper / AMG GT vibes.

The world is full of people who'd happily take you down a notch because they are jealous of what you have.

The lede here is that Honda is developing this platform on their own. The Prologue was co-developed with GM. This made me think Honda wasn't planning on developing EVs just yet. The RSX name is a fail, IMO. They could have called the EDX or KDX to keep their _DX = SUV nomenclature. But...

Do stock tune cars shoot flames when catless? It looks like it might be, but it's too light outside to tell.

Love it. NGL, I might have ended up with one of these instead of my Supra if they came out a little earlier. But there's hope that I replace the wife's car with one, she loves the IONIQ5s. Are those the factory wheels? They look spectacular. 90s vibes.

Did you clear any codes prior to taking it in? If so, you need to drive the car about 50 or so miles in order for the systems to complete their checks.

I had a friend jack the drivers side while I did the other and toss ramps under the wheels. It works great for working under the car and you can get in from any side. Third/fourthing quick jacks though. The biggest downside with them is, as razorlab pointed out, all models don't work with all...

You have a good eye, I didn't notice that one. Sadly, it looks like they took the same picture of the covered Yaris and did a copy-pasta with some scale and rotates to put the other two in place. You can tell the shadows are the same on all three cars. So if they are unveiling three different...

Looks like a GR Yaris to me. Daihatsu being present makes sense because they co-developed the Yaris. This could be an event to celebrate winning the WRC Manufactures Title this year while revealing next year's GRY GRMN trim.

I regularly go a month or so between drives and don't do anything special. I've tried throwing a battery tender on it, but it always reads full, even after 3 weeks, so I don't bother. I think it helps that my garage says pretty warm in the winter (50F+). I imagine this will get tedious and...

You're grossly misrepresenting the weight of the Cayman by comparing the lightest Cayman to the heaviest Supra. The base four cylinder automatic Cayman model is 50lbs lighter than the base four cylinder automatic Supra. The weight difference isn't in the chassis, it's in the engine. If you...

2023 got a bunch of suspension revisions that improved the rear end stability dramatically (theirs was a 2020 IIRC). It still has a garbage alignment from the factory, but a look at the Lightning Lap times for the car over time shows how much things have improved. I also feel like, at some...

You could use a Jackery to trickle charge the car without access to an outlet. Even a small one will run a trickle charger for several hours. The might even make battery powered jump packs that can trickle charge, but I've never looked. Doing this once every two-three weeks will be plenty. I...

I hope they don't base the next Supra on the N platform (IS, RC). If they do, it's inevitable that the car will end up being a porker, just like every other small car based on a larger car. I like the RC-F, but it's really an American Muscle car built by a Japanese company - big, heavy, comfy...
