It's the smaller turbo(s)... My VR30 (Q50RS) falls on its face up top as well unfortunately.
Everything is give and take.
I'm glad you bring that up because I think that's one of the Miata's issues! The Bridgestones are too sticky for that car and it really exacerbates how underdamped the Miatas are from the factory. That much mechanical grip is wholly unnecessary for the car in its stock form and only makes the roll that much more annoying. Don't get me wrong, Miatas are still damn good fun, as is an 86 on a Pilot Super Sport, but I think the 86 is more fun because its much easier to slide around on the Primacy.So how come the 155hp ND Miata came equipped with Potenza S001's. Was it a contract related issue as to why Subaru/Toyota chose Supremacy HP's as their OEM tire?
Yeah, this I def agree with. Toyota def flops big time when it comes to performance upgrades on models. As far as whether or not the Supra gets the full Porsche treatment remains to be seen, but I certainly hope that's the case.Haha, a drag car is whole different discussion. What you mentioned is my point. Now Toyota finally learned the German way by having a entry level performance car with good power, good wheels, good tires, good suspension all in a factory car, a good platform. Now if you want a race version, there's a GT option. Toyota's idea of performance was usually cosmetic.
This goes way back before the MKIV and even why HKS was formed (thank goodness for this). Shoot, you can even go back to WWII and look at each country's fighter aircrafts (U.S, Japan, Germany and the British) and how each aircraft had their own distinctive build similar to cars of today. I'm not bashing Japanese cars, that's just how it was with Japanese cars. HKS was formed in 1973, meanwhile Porsche already had a 2.8L RSR in 1973.@DesmoSD I've been wanting to quote all of your recent few posts but they're over a span of a few pages. Let me just say this. I too share the exact same sentiments. Except for the very small fact that Japanese "mostly" rely on the aftermarket. They too like the Germans want it to be good stock out of the gate. The only issue is that people have been whining about tuning because of the MkIV. Toyota knows how many tuners and just people in general want a badass Japanese tuner car. They've simply said that "Hey, y'all can tune the car too. Knock yourselves out. We've done some special things to the car for you guys."
This Toyota is nipping on the heels of the GTS and the 981 GT4 and it's the base model too. I'm a Porsche guy as well (To be honest I am a true automotive enthusiast in such that I am a total racing nut and love and appreciate all cars, or anything on four wheels, or simply wheels, steering wheels too? LOL. You get what I mean.) so I know exactly what you're talking about. Porsche is just killing it nowadays but fucked up with the Cayman/Boxster this time around. That 4-cylinder is trash and actually thirstier than the six.
To the guy who mention the Porsche tax. That's true. You also have to pay a stupid amount for some features as well. However I have to disagree when it comes to reliability. Porsche is one of the most (if not THE MOST) reliable German car manufacturer in the world. I rarely hear problems from modern Porsches.
That's the real question, what turbo is it using? What are the sizes of the compressor and the turbine?Anyone know which turbo it's using?
BBi Autosport in Huntington BeachI see. I just don't think about it, if it happens, it happens. Who rebuilt it?
Borg Warner I believe. Not sure thoughAnyone know which turbo it's using?
