Is that not the plot to Hobbs and Shaw? lol

Don't bet, check the dyno sheet. They're essentially giving us the Z4s current motor, a known quantity....

That's not generally, if ever, done with spring heights though. Not all cars are speced to compensate for crown, but if you try to adjust for it, you do it with the steering wheel center position, Toe or Castor...

Single Torque Converter

Supra History lesson. 1982, the new codeveleoped with Lotus Celica Supra hits the market. 142hp. 83 comes out, very small power increase, but the entire ignition timing system and most everything bolted to the motor is thrown out or redone. 84 model comes out, revised intake, compression change...

How many lbs of down force does it add? lol Looks decent, most wouldn't notice. Let's see if these show up as standard on 2021s.

It's more of a Toyota then the Supra is. If the next gen has a much better engine, retains the Toyota diff, transmission etc and can match the handling prowess of the first car, it could be awesome.

Gross. Reminds me of when I attended Torqfest in Long Beach many years ago. Some guy rolled in a gold LHD mk4 na that had been (poorly) converted into a convertable, dubs, massive sub enclosure, ruined interior, the whole import scene gone wrong and represented in one single sacred car. I don't...

Said no one, ever, about a Yaris before (this one).

Pssst, tell him about the other number, the one your butt can actually feel. Does it feel "how much work is being done"? ;)

Yup. Everyone keeps saying stuff like that, then I remind them that 2Fast 2 Furious happened and the low point of the franchise has been firmly established and unlikely to be set lower. Regardless, we're all going to go see it just the same!

Hey, at least today it will be just wrap. Do you have any idea how many MK4s have been painted orange at some point in their lives...

From that ebay add... Looks like an electrical wire. Is there a motor inside the caliper, or is that for a sensor? Doesn't look like a manual steel cable for ebrake.

So that last scene, guess that answers why the mk5 is dressed up like the vielside rx7. Its Han back from the dead, driving the new Supra also back from the dead. I wonder if that means he is also an expensive German made clone of the original? :D

You mean they are 2 piston monoblock fixed calipers vs the 2 piston floating calipers the Supra came with. Looking at the m235 rear brakes, I'm not sure how its ebrake works. Some cars have a cable that actuates the caliper manually, others have a separate caliper (but don't see those on the...

Unless you know, it's a car built by a manufacturer that's known for overbuilding things, and maybe had built a few cars like this in the past, so knew enough to over build their newest version to the point it can handle 1000whp/torque from the factory. Maybe thats just a myth (legend?)...

We'll see. Maybe if they can write in a way for everyone to loose their money. The story has made no sense since every character become a multi millionaire in 5 and some how they made the leap from criminal masterminds to super spies.

5 to 7 were a lot of fun. My favorite is still Tokyo Drift actually. That's what they should have done after 7, just do a bunch of standalone stories in the same universe with different characters. I mean it sort of looks like that's what they're doing with Hobbs and Shaw, but the reality is...

The series should have died with Paul Walker. 7 was enough, they've run out of material with these characters. 7 ended so nice, the Supra driving off into the distance, shoulda ended the main storyline there and retired all of these characters.
