From observation, it feels like he kind of batches them up a bit. But he watches this like site like a hawk and will get right to you. Be warned -- the tuning experiences is positively violent :)

I read somewhere that you can't effectively run past e30 without a solution to fuel volume. The car runs of course. But the car asks for more juice at the top end and doesn't get it. Basically your trading high end performance for the low end. Might give you a feeling of it being less fast...

Wow, tough crowd today. Trolls on here can go sit in a circle jerk with the vandals that trashed OPs car. For this car, it's not uncommon to not drive it much. So sitting for a while with it broken isn't that big of a surprise. And do a quick forum search for problems installing downpipe to...

You're only cooked from Toyota. Stop by your local BMW dealership. Ask to look at an M3. Ask to stop by parts desk before going for your test drive. Drop off order for a replacement key for a Z4/Supra. From the previous thread.. New Part Numbers 66125-A406E-1 RADIO REMOTE CONT List 761.11...

Manual transmissions make car forums more fun. I'm convinced AT guys just aren't as much fun. If it's not granny shifting vs. heel toe, double clutching, hill assist then it's money shifting. Do a little research on OSHA and industrial accidents. Simple repetitive actions with dangerous...

You sound like a supply chain guy, where you work?

My theory, based on zero facts, like literally just my imagination, is that there's something slightly shady going on. Like a trade secret walked out the back door. And presto we have one business in the entire world that can break BMW ECUs.

You're right, sorry. Was arguing with my buddy over the weekend. I will stand by my point that these car articles are heavily slanted to the ownership. Rare to find one that reads like "Only a moron would have bought this..."

Dynos are weird. I always quote 440 at the wheel because no one on this forum has ever presented a worse number. In truth, saying mid 400s is the more accurate statement because results really do vary (elevation, temperature, dyno, etc..). But people with poop colored glasses read that as 400...

Easy Power Path = JB4 + Downpipe followed by e30 + custom map for the JB4. Get you into the 440hp range at the wheel. You'll keep up C7 Vettes on the highway. Secondary market is strong making it easy to buy used OR sell your stuff down the road. Easy to install at home. This is about...

Honestly, that's a never do business with them again event.

If it's just to sit in, you'd be welcome to sit in mine. But your a bit of a drive from Dallas. Besides, I can't imagine any local dealer with any Supra won't let you just sit in it. They may not want you to test drive if you aren't a qualified buyer. But to just sit in it? And the 2.0...

Oy vey. Unless you're racing, keep the muffler. Even if you're racing you often have to have one just to pass safe sound level limits. Hint -- that's safe level for people around your car to be able to listen to all day. Imagine your friends and family and neighbors and some poor bastard at...

This is definitely an f with it and find out type feature. Not everything works exactly the same way. For example, mapping start/stop navigation to the same button is still a mystery to me. Like I'm pretty sure the head unit just "knows" what I meant to do when I mapped it.

Hot check or stolen car, some naive bastard is still out $40+k. Never understood the overwhelming desire to blame victims.

Respecting your reluctance, if you stay with the JB4 then your next pinch point is heat and fuel. If you pay close attention to guys that add Pure850 and other turbos they ALWAYS have to get Meth or put in more e85 than the stock fuel injectors can push. This leads them to Port Injection and...

no, no.. i didn't mean that. you do you. it's just foreign to me. Thanks for the share, shows me another side of the hobby.

Good luck with your next car, whatever it is let it be fun. Ok, now this is a corner of the car community I've yet to get a good handle on. 3,600 miles and 18 months of ownership. That's like 200 miles a month. Not even a tank of gas. And OP liked the car. Granted, I live in Texas which...

Sorry about that. I wouldn't do anything myself thus I'd defer the question to a qualified body shop. It will cost whatever it costs. I recommend choosing your own shop and doing a little research on the value of your car vs. value of the car with some issues. That way you'll have some...

Alright now. Everyone knows each sticker is worth +2hp. Proven fact. I have the dyno charts to prove it. This makes it the cheapest performance improvement on the market. Hands down. Second, have you ever looked through the little triangle windows behind the door windows? From the driver...
