They talked about whether they were lower than the cladding and panels but did not discuss the actual frame rails which is my main concern. It's fine I'll find out when I get under the car in the near future.
Does anyone know off the top of their head if any of these replacement options sit lower than the frame rails? My car is low enough that egregious speed bumps will hit the frame :|
Hopefully all you new folks can jump on FB Messenger and get added to the chat group. Some of us are regulars at various car meets, it'd be nice to grow the group. Hit up the OP for invite to the chat group! o/
I'm unsure if this is a troll question, but in case it's not, the general consensus amongst people with fast cars is more tire sidewall = more grip, especially in a straight line. But even autocrossers and circuit people drop from 19s to 18s. There's tons of science behind this. Suffice to say...
I went on a bender a few months ago trying to figure out if mine was messed up as well. My conclusion was it's a mixed bag. On Instagram you'll see just as many Supras with misaligned hoods as ones with perfect alignment. I have the exact same issue as OP, highly doubt Toyota will do anything...
Hey, got a weird issue where my hazard lights are turning on, usually about 30 or so minutes after the car has been locked. Front desk at work calls me up and when I check on the car nothing seems off, no doors are ajar, no message on the screen. Just the blinkers and red light under rear view...
The only way for any US vendors to prove they have their products made in the US is to post factory and assembly line pictures, without those, they can preach with pretty words all they want and no one will believe them.
We want to see receipt of raw materials, build processes turning those...
I would argue when it comes to 100% of CF parts offered for the MK5, very close to all of them offer zero benefit other than cosmetic change. The very few exceptions being the hood, intake parts and maybe the engine cover for a weight savings of a fraction of a pound. There is zero, zip, nada...
Has anyone mentioned you'll have zero grip regardless of setup if you run 20s lmao. If going fast is anywhere on your list of things to do with the Supra, don't go 20s, but if it's just a static show car then do what you want.
In his defense, there actually is no benefit to replacing plastic with CF. At least in the context of these vents. LoL. No weight savings worth mentioning, structural strength gain is minimal and of no actual value. It is purely a cosmetic mod, which is not a problem IMO. Let people buy what...
Hate to break it to y'all but you're mostly likely waiting on them waiting for shipments from China. There's another thread somewhere where it's basically proven that all these shops are just upselling carbon fiber parts made in China. Unless these shops can provide picture proof of their in...
