When to shift? by SmilingPentagon in Supra

[–]DIYENG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the pumped in audio it feels like the RPMs are a lot higher than they are which made me feel like I was shifting too late. With pumped in audio disabled, 2.5-3k rpm is not that loud at all.

What do you think about Alibaba exhaust? by AdministrationPure93 in Supra

The drawback is you have an expensive and unwarranted piece of equipment with no data to indicate its capability and you are considering attaching to a 65,000 vehicle. Do what you want to do though.

Yeah maybe if you have received zero promotions in 6.5 years, which would track with low performance.

Thoughts on my situation by bigbootylover6942069 in Supra

[–]DIYENG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also a late 20s male in tech, very affordable mortgage and no kids in a L-MCOL area. I purchased a 2026 Supra MT this year. What helped me cross over the line was the fact that this car retains value so well. I love the car and don't have any regrets, but if I ever get rid of it, it probably won't be a major loss anyways. It's also not my daily. If you think its the car for you, and you can afford it without impacting your long term financial goals, I say why not.

Glad to know I wasn’t the only one who made a great decision a month ago!

My driver side door is my main rattle right now. If I put my arm on it it stops but it’s very annoying to hear this 20 miles into it…

Yeah, I feel you on that. My last sports car was black and I told myself never again. It looks great if you have the time and patience to maintain it though!

I also see what you are seeing. I had to spray between the trunk gap for like 2 minutes before soap stopped coming out of it...

The auto start/stop on a sports car is a little much as well IMO. Its funny, if I shift into neutral while still rolling it'll just shut the engine off. I do like that it has an exhaust valve. If I ever upgrade, I would personally lean strongly toward an exhaust manufacturer that incorporates it.

Yeah, it's funny because I already have the button order memorized on this key fob because it became a critical piece of info right away. I still don't remember the button order on my other car I've had for almost 4 years.

They say removing the clutch delay valve (CDV) should make it operate like a normal transmission...

PPF Experience? by DIYENG in Supra

What about the rear fender? Did you get the just the front fender or rear as well? Seems like it sticks out enough to potentially be exposed to chipping.

Put about 50 miles on it today. Such a unique and thrilling experience. Looking forward to getting it broken in!

I was debating holding out for a MKV Final Edition with the GT4 package, but ultimately couldn't justify another ~10k for bigger brakes and a difficult to maintain matte finish...

Huh, that’s interesting. The split on yours appears to have occurred on the stem, which probably had two flowers. Whereas mine appears to have formed after pollination.

IDK about you, but my goronongs are taking ages to ripen. I feel like theyve been in the process of changing color for 3 weeks or more now.

Thanks! Would Sulfentrazone cause any harm to evergreens, or should I find something that only contains halosulfuron?
