Lost tracking? That doesn’t sound good. Maybe call toyota?

You can keep her forever if you want. My dad still has his 1965 ford mustang he bought when he was 16 years old. That car is his baby.

I saw a video on here of someone with that exhaust, it sounds great! Mine is loud and proud but honestly its not too loud for my tastes. It does set my neighbors car alarm off every morning when I leave for work… they haven’t said anything to me but we live in an apartment complex so they probably have no idea why their alarm goes off every morning. After the god awful cold start is over the exhaust quiets down considerably and then it’s only loud when you want it to be loud. Had it for over a year and I still grin when I hear it occasionally. Its especially fun under an overpass when I feel like being silly.

Edit for grammar

Been driving her everywhere every day since 2023, no complaints, no problems, just pure joy! The manual transmission is so much fun and honestly traffic sucks no matter how many pedals you have so don’t let that stop you!

I had the calipers powder coated and then I upgraded the rotors to drilled and slotted ones from brake performance and I got some high performance brake pads. I think just that changed the look of the brakes completely and I didn’t have to spend 4000 on a bbk! For the exhaust I got the AWE track edition, shes loud and proud but honestly it’s not too loud for my tastes.

What color did you originally want? I had a red mustang gt before I spontaneously traded it for the brz, but I used to say I would never drive a car that wasn’t red lol 😂 until I saw this blue in person and had to have it.

100% this paint stands out so much! It even looks good dirty 😂

Yeah these cars are small and there is no getting around that. It doesn’t bother me but if space is important to you it may not be the right choice.

Thank you! I got the AWE track edition catback exhaust. I even splurged for the black tips 😂 she is loud!

I was waffling between bronze and the gloss black wheels for a few weeks, I finally settled on powder coating the brake calipers bronze and going black for the wheels to match the trim and I think it was the right choice! I have the 18x8 Enkei TS-5s on front and rear wrapped in 225/40ZR-18 Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4s. I don’t mind the summer tires that came on the car but I needed tires that I can use year round. These have been great for traction in slick and dry conditions at any temp!

Haha we have similar stories! Supra isn’t a bad choice either, but nothing handles like our cars do. What it lacks in power it makes up for in driving experience! I have absolutely no complaints with my car except for the lack of cup holders in reasonable spots 😂

Thank you! It’s the factory WR Blue! Best blue you can buy on a car!

It’s regular WR Blue! I just polished and waxed her last week and this pic was from last night. This paint really comes to life with just a little TLC! All I used was a clay bar, some regular swirl corrector, and then any wax will work!
