Most youtube channels don't buy parts/ spend their own money. They take the parts companies will give them for free and use them on the channel as free advertisement.
This is poor reporting and it is going to hurt manual sport car production and interest.
It's a production issue in Austria (suppliers based in Ukraine being shut down due to war) mixed with grown interested in the car globally since adding the manual. Every manual supra that hits a...
I go back and forth. I really wish toyota made a tech package auto car like they do for the manual. I just don't want the leather seats.
Auto makes more sense in my situation and what I want to use it for but I still want the manual. I'm hoping demand comes down a bit and i can...

production numbers for 2023 vs 2022 is about 1700 less units total (if they keep 2023 production at what they have been doing.) 33% less cars being made vs 2022.
Toyota is really reducing the number of cars the US is getting.

Look at how many less supras are being made right now compared to 21 and 22. I wonder what the deal is with that.??
If they keep at the pace they have been 3300 supras would be made for 2023. whereas for 2022 4,950 unit. Then...
That's because dealers really don't have a clue when they'll get a supra in. They only get what Toyota will send them. You can't order one. They find out about their allocation when Toyota posts them on the website saying they have an incoming allocation.
Imo experience talking to people...
Ahh you are the one that bought the 22 they had.
I'm from that area. I spoke with them a few months back in was 1k deposit. They said they had one person in front that only wants specific colors manual prem car. But tbh they get 1 or 2 supras a year so kind of waste of time imo. I...
I wonder what toyota did to it vs BMW. if I had to guess they just changed the rear shift bushing. But there's other ways you could stiffen it up more.
I'd talk to Sound performance or Boostin. Unfortunatly everyone is swamped with work you are going to have to wait. If you just need basic stuff done I use arrowhead automotive out by plainfield. They are old school gear heads but know cars very well. They work on everything from model Ts...
I really want this car but trying to hold out longer and save some more cash up (with interest rates so high) before I buy something. This car is as good as buying a new one.
Watch the savageese video on the GR corolla. Apparently you can't do much with it the rear/ center diff gets hot and it turns into a fwd corolla. Sounds like a modern quality toyota... Same one that belongs in the pile of rusted/ broken frame 4 runner, tacomas, and tundras. Best thing...
Right. Clutch replacements make me nervous to own a MT. cost, parts availability, unproven, if it can't last at stock power good luck adding power.
Seems like MTs are selling at sticker really fast still. last month there really hasn't be much inventory coming in the USA.
I haven't taken delivery yet but on a few lists for a manual.
Former MKIV owner. Had a few bmws since then. Loved the FT1 concept the 2020 model i was so so on. But after driving a MKV supra and being more involved with a GT4 bmw race program. BMW and toyota coming together is an...
Interesting. maybe the corners it makes sense but the manual gt4 is gearing limited to 201mph. Top speed it hits on the ring is 173mph. The PDK GT4RS only gets another 10-15 mph over the gt4/ manual.
The First GT4s they were trying to protect the 911 sales. Porsche was very concerned about losing 911 buyers in the 991 era. Because the cayman was such a better car for times/ racing. The gt4 manual has awful gear ratios. Many people re gear them. They are super long from the...
This was interesting. It's obvious the suspension updates were the difference between the years not so much manual vs auto. Every year they keep improving this car in stock form.
I'm surprised with the gearing in the manual supra 3.46 just seems like to much. to short. Maybe bmw only had...
Watching the Supras VIR lap it had a few mistakes. I bet auto could be a few secs faster + a better lap. maybe a 2:52 in the supra at VIR in stock form
