What did you do to your Supra today?

~ I just can’t give up my GTI… such a great secondary runner car to the Supra.

100%! I've had a MK5 (6MT) and this MK7 (DSG) across 11 years. I wouldn't have gotten rid of it if I wasn't certain about my decision. GTIs are the best car at its price point and punches above it's class in many areas.

My wife loves the Supra so much, though, that she'd rather switch back to the old setup than get rid of the "toy" car, if circumstances require it ?

Fitted some BMW M style paddle shifters I bought on eBay. WAY nicer to use than OEM and at $70 and 15 minutes of my time, one of the cheapest and easiest upgrades I have done yet...

Full debadge + AmericanPanda badges. It’s so clean now.

The Spoiler & Paint Match Toyota Emblem looks good. The good thing is that we make changes on our cars for how we like and not for others. I actually think the Supra Emblem looks pretty legit and a perfect upgrade font from the MK4 and wouldn't remove it except to put a blacked out one to get rid of the chrome but thats my personal preference. When I had my BRZ I didn't care for the chrome BRZ emblem and debaged it completely.

I totally agree and plan to get the matte black Supra emblem at some point!

This is your 1,000th post! Maybe it's time to attach an avatar so you don't look like a newbie in the corner of our eyes as we scroll

Took my car in for an oil change appointment at the Toyota dealership. I told them specifically that I would be waiting at the dealership for the oil change to be completed. Three hours later the service advisor came to me to let me know that the reason it took so long was because they decided to do the brake system safety recall and they chose to do that because they FORGOT that I was waiting in the waiting room.... smh. Now my car is back to stock power levels and the ECU is locked and HOLY hell did I forget how "slow" this car is in stock form compared to an E-blend tune.

Now I get to figure out when I have the time to drive 5 hours to Monroe NC and pay some money to get the ECU unlocked again. At first I was upset about the entire situation but now I'm kind of like ehhh.... whatever lol.

Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.

You clearly haven't owned a Type R. We had a DSG MK5 GTI and an FN2 Type R (Not available in the US) and while mildly utilitarian, I found the GTI was so boring it put me to sleep! The Type R had equal utility but was far more entertaining to drive. YMMV of course.

This is my biggest fear and I just made a post about it. About to send to Fentmo for unlock and now I guess I'm never doing any recalls on this car!!! And what recall is this?? I have a 22 and never got anything on it??

You would be right - I have not. I should have clarified that I was referring to the US market. There are lots of cool cars we don’t get, unfortunately.

That's because the MK5 GTI was crap. MK7/MK7.5 chassis was a leap frog moment for VW. It's like the difference between the GM Alpha chassis and everything before it. Light years difference.

I had a MK6 Golf R. I now have a MK7 GTI and a MK7.5 Golf Alltrack and the Alltrack handles better than my MK6 Golf R ever did.
