Aw man… I just installed mine and was happy about the absence of a CEL. So it’s still throwing a code, even if no CEL? Does that mean a CEL will come on eventually? I’m mostly concerned about passing inspection.

? that is the reference lol

LMAO my humblest apologies for my "offense" :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: In any case, your curmudgeonry is highly appreciated as always ?

I installed the bolts yesterday. They do seem tougher than the OEM bolts. However, I did have another thought while I was putting them in. Technically, you shouldn't have mismatched steel for fastener and thread, because whichever is stronger may strip the other. The wheel hub threads are...

I was driving today and had a moment of realization, having read this thread a while ago. I've never dealt with this issue in two different 3.0 supras, a 2020 and a 2021. BUT, I recently had a mishap with steel cords from a shredded tire wrapping around the hub assembly and slicing one of the...

So, I had a few stripped lug bolts recently (too much ugga dugga from the tire shop I used to go to, never again). Maybe it could have been my own error, or my 6 point socket is no good, but my suspicion is all that air impact torquing down the bolts weakened the points of the head. And I wanted...

For future reference, Part Numbers for: Turbo outlet gasket: 17279-WAA02 Turbo-to-DP VBand clamp: 17452WAA02 Midpipe clamp: 90118WA387

I also bought a new Vband clamp for the downpipe. Probably not necessary but I've seen it recommended . The clamp for the DP-to-midpipe looks pretty beefy, so I'm not gonna replace it. Thanks for the photo! ?

I'm preparing to do a downpipe install and I got a new turbo outlet-to-DP gasket, but I'm wondering about whether there is also a DP-to-midpipe gasket? Common wisdom is to replace all the gaskets when uncoupling exhaust parts, so I would like to replace the DP outlet gasket too. But I've...

Garage224 in Farmingdale. Sometimes they can get busy and their turnaround time can be longer, but I think the value is very good

I'm assuming that's $2400 CAD for the whole front (front bumper, hood, A-pillars, maybe front fender)? Hood is a huge piece, so that brings up the cost a lot. I got a similar result from my shop on my front bumper, same seams, but I only paid $500* USD for front bumper and A-pillars. It's...

Ooooof. Well, at least I know it's a normal dealer price lol. I was hoping that it would be a bit cheaper with Toyota labor rates, but it seems like they pad the bills for the Supra, so that they end up being in line with BMW rates anyway I haven't gotten the bill from my mechanic yet, but...

$650 for front rotors and $110 for front brake pads. $90 for wheel spin sensor Parts total cost: $850 Dealer Labor charge: $1150 at $150/hr labor, that's 7h40m labor being billed...... for something that will take 2-3 hours tops Oh and they are charging $320 diagnostic fee (2x normal) because...

OK, that's why I was confused that I didn't get any brake service light... They said the pad is down to 2mm though, so shouldn't the car have given a warning? The dealer wanted $2k for replacing front rotors/pads and the wheel spin sensor :rofl: I took the car to my mechanic and he said rotors...

The car has been driven 50% city / 50% highway, with a few hard backroads drives and one drift event. The brakes started to squeal, so I figured pads needed replacing. And then I somehow damaged the wheelspin sensor (I think from tire cords that wrapped around the back of the rotor and...

Not sure if this will help if you’re having Apple CarPlay connection difficulty, but I always use the Map button near the iDrive rotary dial thing. That brings me into Google Maps in Apple CarPlay. And then I can go to Spotify and things like that

The only thing that is different is that I didn't hook up the mirror defroster... But I didn't think that would cause any issues... The plug that is for the BSM is hooked up like normal.

Wondering if anyone else has experienced a Driver Assistance error caused by installing aftermarket CF side mirror covers? I got an error and took it to the dealer and they are saying it's caused by the aftermarket side mirror covers. But I find it kind of hard to believe that the mirror...
