Did you notice any codes when this happened or anything on the dash? My car always seems to hesitate when that happens. Especially the chassis code. I got that yesterday on track and she lost some power. Not limp mode but enough where you could tell… It only happened twice. But we are definitely heating up down here brother! Only one more track day and I‘ll pack er up until next October….
Unfortunately no, it was with tc on/ off. I rarely ever do 1st gear pulls. It just spins and I’m scared to shift it quickly into 2nd in fear of slipping or breaking something. This was like full on the car lost 100hpIs the bogging down issue similar to the ones on the auto where the TCS was being a dick and pre-emptively messing with the throttle when moving from 1st?
Sorry to hear about the rattles. If i hear them now, i know im not alone
I wonder if it’s some bad boost by gear tuning. This car has it and when it works it hits hard in 3rd, other times it doesn’t
ya I was chalking it up to heat soak but the more and more it happens and the way it happens it definitely isn’t. I think it’s just some bad tuning on these cars, and the boost by gear function acting up. Oh well. For anyone wondering why mine is fairly stock, well here ya go lol.
No AM options available yet? If not I hope there are soon. I’d be going plum crazy if I had an MT that I couldn’t safely touch.
Not yet unfortunately, a few people are working hard, @clutchman is trying to get a unit to look at. Some days I care others I don’t, I’m over going fast, but I do want my stock power to be safe and have all of the horsepower I paid for. At the end of the day if the stock clutch can only handle stock power then yes it sucks but Toyota never promised us anymore so can really be too mad at them, it’ll just hurt resale for people who buy to mod, on the other hand we are 100% owed for the car to function as intended at stock power levels, which is seeming to be not the case
Would you go back to the auto model?
nah, already experienced it once. my next move is either P car or the Emira I ordered. But the way the economy is going I doubt I'll make the transition anytime soon. Would much rather invest into the business and my schooling then a car, as much as I love them, have to be a somewhat responsible adult
I haven't driven my A91 since I got it in November. It's currently sitting at 8 miles. All this talk makes me wanna double down on my current fleet and sell the Supra.
same boat as you, g87 isn't the best looking, or favorite sounding... just gonna enjoy my a91 mt till I make a decision, i would love a carrera t, that would be idea but a little out of budget haha
