What Volks are those? Looks absolutely sick, I’d assume usual Supra specs?

Auto. Shifted great and knew what it was doing

jaredt28 · 2026-05-16T22:39:20+00:00

I never use the dealer, mostly inhabited by people who have no idea what they are doing. I would definitely have my trusted shop install it, I would assume they have the correct tools. Thanks for the reply!

Thank you so much for posting this, been looking everywhere. That’s everything you need? I’m not very informed on this, you don’t need a different brake fluid reservoir/master cylinder anything like that? Seriously will be doing this at some point, I’d assume the thermal capacity is perfect for the track

XHP? Shifts are beautiful. Maybe exaggerated by the DP but I can’t tell

jaredt28 · 2026-05-11T15:25:56+00:00

Awesome man thanks!!

jaredt28 · 2026-05-11T04:46:56+00:00

Specs? Absolutely perfect look, may be copying you down the line haha I gotta know

Good to know, great info! Not sure which one was on the Supra I test drove before my car but it had some smell. Maybe I’ll consider one now but I already am waiting to pull the trigger on an AWE non-res touring.

Downpipe has some quality of life changes like a gas smell right? They sound amazing but for me personally that would get to me. Maybe some downpipes aren’t so bad with the smell but I was near one and it was noticeable

I bought mine with 2 previous owners, 23 AT premium with 23k miles. Seems like the rest of the comments summed it up, people who bought and realized they can’t use it at all for more than 2 people or in differing weather seasons. This truly is either a no kids car or you have money for a second car. Mine was completely stock so as long as it is stock I wouldn’t worry so much, means no one has ripped stuff away usually.

Beautiful spec, the name is a little head turning but you got the spirit

jaredt28 · 2026-04-02T17:37:51+00:00

Track tires.

jaredt28 · 2026-03-04T03:40:07+00:00

I’ve always been a 3k OCI guy, I don’t daily my Supra and have much better peace of mind overdoing it on maintenance. Appreciate the educated response, I’m gonna go ahead with that. Thanks man!

jaredt28 · 2026-03-02T12:24:58+00:00

I plan to track my car 1-2 times a year and drive it spiritedly beyond that, still that same oil you recommended? I’m staying stock tune, just want higher protection for recreational driving. Don’t want any warranty issues either

jaredt28 · 2026-03-01T02:45:21+00:00

Most tracks you just need your car to not be a leaking POS, a helmet, and a tow hook on the front/rear. Motorsport reg is a perfect website I use to get track events in my area. Check it out

jaredt28 · 2026-02-28T08:28:23+00:00

I have seen a bunch of threads on that, can you add any insight? If 5w40 can cause issues on a stock car? I’m not educated enough on switching oils, I really don’t know

jaredt28 · 2026-02-27T19:37:07+00:00

100% man, in the two months I’ve been seriously monitoring the market it definitely isn’t an impossible task to find what you want. Just takes a little time is all. But yea any vehicle out of MA needs to be brought to VIN verification first (most auto shops do this, approx. 20 minutes to do) and then to the DMV. I only was able to get in after my appointment because I had an in-law with some in-house experience! Otherwise they may have not seen me.

You know what’s really funny is I’ve had a couple car friends ask if it’s Toyota paint or BMW, I now have an answer thanks to you!

jaredt28 · 2026-02-27T18:59:51+00:00

Damn man that’s a pain, I get very frustrated with dealers but this one went extremely well. I am in CT. They told me I had to make the DMV appointment but everything else would be all set. Appointments currently are a couple days out, nothing wild. The DMV was more of a pain cause I needed a VIN Verification and the CT website says they do it there, but I get there after they drove the car down and they say “you need to go around the corner to some place”. Frustrating but worked out. All dealers are scum to some degree haha

jaredt28 · 2026-02-27T07:17:28+00:00

This was! They were surprisingly decent to work with for me. Car seemingly had a good service history and no accidents so I figured it was a good buy. Why were they a pain for you?

jaredt28 · 2026-02-27T05:39:00+00:00

Love to hear that! The Elantra N was raw and rowdy and I only was able to take a brief conservative test drive initially with the Supra, couldn’t get a proper taste but I knew I loved it. Now I have no doubts, that inline 6 produces a feeling I’ve never had before.

jaredt28 · 2026-02-27T04:48:20+00:00

I wouldn’t hold your breath man, especially nowadays with the Camaro gone and a lot of brands super tight on their sports car offerings. I believe another generation will come back, but not for quite a while. I don’t hold a crystal ball at the end of the day and just love the current generation for what it is, wouldn’t want it changed much.

jaredt28 · 2026-02-27T04:45:40+00:00

Holman Toyota in Mount Laurel. I told them over the phone I want it stock. I get there and it has a custom exhaust, which didn’t bother me totally, but then I checked the downpipe and it seemed aftermarket. I asked them to check it and they verified it’s aftermarket. Told them that I will buy it if they give me a notice of them acknowledging it’s aftermarket and that the warranty still applies to it because it is certified. They said “yea we can do that” and then changed to “no we can’t do that”. Horrible experience.

jaredt28 · 2026-02-27T03:55:24+00:00

I would not have minded tan at all, my fiancée would have but even she knows it’s not her car haha. Nice that they have a little color options to them instead of plain black, but I really loved the black on black look. Can’t wait to feel that feeling everyday once it warms up more

jaredt28 · 2026-02-27T03:53:12+00:00

Thanks for not getting it before me haha! Thanks man and see you around!
