  1. Holding the downshift paddle/lever while braking hard.

    Correct. you don't need to be braking. I take my foot off the accelerator as well though. not sure what it'll do if you've got the accelerator to the floor and then try and shift down. can't imagine that's gonna be very smooth.
  2. How to Improve OE Sub Bass Quality and Eliminate Vibrations

    I don't think you need to get it perfect. I felt like I hadn't done a very good job of it, but it still made an improvement.
  3. Holding the downshift paddle/lever while braking hard.

    Even without braking, if I keep the down lever held for a few seconds it will put me in the lowest gear that is safe for the rpm. I can then accelerate and will need to upshift manually until I put it back into 'D'. I've not tried holding it while continuing to brake to a stop.
  4. Anyone gone from a Z4 to a MKV?

    wow. ESS = supercharger, right? so none of my Z4s were modified. I did track days in both the E85 3.0 and the E89 35iS. Purely recreational, i.e. not trying to set serious lap laptimes. The E85 was much tighter. the E89 was faster on the straights, but that's about it. The Supra is tighter and...
  5. How to Improve OE Sub Bass Quality and Eliminate Vibrations

    I am absolutely useless at anything handy and even I managed to do the porting, so I think it's worth saving the money and doing it yourself. that said I did need to buy a few tools that I'm unlikely to use again so maybe there is an advantage to buying a pre-made up panel.
  6. Anyone gone from a Z4 to a MKV?

    I've had 1 x E85 (3.0) and 5 x E89s (mix of 35i and 35iS). I'd say the Supra is more comparable to the E89 as with the metal top up it feels like a coupe. I'd say the E89 35iS is better value for money and with a bit of money spent on tuning and suspension would be just as much fun to drive as...
  7. 3 Series Touring on BAT

    Looks nice (actually nicer than the current gen I think), but it would be an RS4 or RS6 as the "dog car" for me if I can ever give up the comforts of the Range Rover.
  8. BM3 License $350

    Does anyone know, if I buy a "used" BM3 licence will I get an OTS map with it? If I do get a map will it just be the one that the previous user purchased? thx In case it helps anyone, this is the response I got from BM3: "Like on new licenses you will have one free map credit and the option to...
  9. How to Improve OE Sub Bass Quality and Eliminate Vibrations

    I'd definitely recommend taking your favorite music to the dealer and spending some time with the car and its audio system. I really regret not doing this, as I wouldn't have bought the car knowing what I do now. Of course where the audio system sits in your list of reasons to buy a car is...
  10. New (and old) SupraMKV members say hello!

    Hi. Have you got any mods planned?
  11. Install time for H&R springs?

    I was quoted 3 hours from a tuning company with experience of the Supra.
  12. How to Improve OE Sub Bass Quality and Eliminate Vibrations

    Another thing I've learnt is there's all sorts of foam. I think I ended up buying the stuff that doesn't compress all that well. it's quite firm.
  13. How to Improve OE Sub Bass Quality and Eliminate Vibrations

    I honestly don't see how I can get a 2" foam block up there. Or do you mean put noico up there? thx
  14. How to Improve OE Sub Bass Quality and Eliminate Vibrations

    Just in case there are others as new to this as me, Iā€™m going to add what Iā€™m learning along the way. It helped to lay all the cut dynamat pieces down for a test fit before sticking anything. I also realised Iā€™ll need some sort of cleaning solvent to prep the trunk area before sticking down...
  15. How to Improve OE Sub Bass Quality and Eliminate Vibrations

    I'm starting to work on this so dumb questions incoming...I've removed the round plastic clip top centre. I don't see how that helps with access. can I now yank the sub enclosure upwards?
  16. New (and old) SupraMKV members say hello!

    Hi. You can get plate mounts that attach to the tow mount. they are usually suited to the US plates so need a bit of modding for the wider UK plates. It looks like the plates in AUS are similar. Check out from 12 mins 30 secs on this video:
  17. Navigation instructions on central display

    Yup. My 2020 3.0 UK (in case this makes a difference) car already does this.
