Does anyone know if the "front side" of door handle can be easily disassembled from the rest without removing entire door handle assembly from the door? It looks like it can be pried from the rest of the handle. Does the handle from BMW G29, part number 51219491462 match J29 Supra? Looks like it...
Has anyone replaced a quarter side glass? I'm sure it must be cut out, same as a windshield but did anyone do this in a safe manner, not scratching the chassis or damaging the roof's upholstery, maybe using WRD Auto Glass Tools?
After what time did it start to look like that? I've been having my car for 5 months now and I already see color difference in the quarter glass rubber vs upper door seal trim. Washed it only twice so far. Also all rubber surfaces around the side glazing seem to scratch very easily :/
I worked several years in R&D of Tenneco Monroe, so I'm sure there will be no issues. Generally my point was, once you measure rim's offset, to take into account that finally after tire is assembled on the rim, outer protective edge of the lip may be further more out than the edge of the rim...
Thank you to all of you, who helped me to define a proper offset for my set of wheels. I bought Japan Racing SL-02 Matt Black, in this size: 19x9" ET27 and 19x10" ET32. My goal was to offset the wheels a little bit more than OEM, but still keep 'em under the fenders with approx. same distance of...
Supra is my daily so I drive it during winter as well, regardless either there's snow on the roads or not. Life is too short to keep cars like this under the blanket. We all say we will keep this car for life but in reality we sell it after some time, therefore, another reason to simply drive it...
It could have been much worse, since design of the interior in Japanese cars is one of the worst on the market these days, considering ergonomics and design of the switches, panels, etc. Even KIA does it better now but they benchmark to VW almost in everything they do.
Volume of the storage "compartments" in this car is ridiculous, I have more storage space inside my NCFL Miata, seriously. Door pockets barely fit winter gloves, you can forget about placing a bottle there, useless. No armrest compartment, useless. Often, there's a storage between the seats...
Hello, I need some advice on adding speakers into OEM mounting points. I have a B48 version, sold in Europe, which is by default equipped with 4 speakers only (yes, unbelievable I know). There are 2 speakers on front doors and 2 in the rear sub-woofer, that's all. I have factory mounting points...
One more question regarding torque spec. There's an "8Nm" written on the TPMS housing, which I'm sure applies to the nut #1. However, since I'm going to replace the valves to the black ones, I need to tight "self blocking" screw #2, to the valve #3, which has no place for any torque wrench...
Thank you for this info, this is exactly what I was looking for.

I'm going to order a new set of TPMS on Aliexpress. A set of 4 pcs. costs 30USD while the same set in Poland costs approx. 100USD. The ones I have installed on my MY23 car have PN: 36106877936-05, model TSSRE4A. I see there's a lot of offers for these 2 PNs, all are 433Mhz:

I'd like to install D-rings for cargo strap, in the OEM holes, marked on the picture #3. I'm wondering, if I just disassemble upholstery from pictures #1 & #2, is it going to be enough to locate the holes under the floor mat?
Have you finally ordered them from AliExpress? They seem to be an exact copy of OEMs but for price of 1 OEM you get 4 from Ali. I'm just wondering how long will battery last.
@tadda, @Torquem & @Prodrift thank you very much for posting your pictures and info on spacers, it's been very helpful. I'm also considering 10/13mm setup on a new set of OEM size rims + OEM suspension but with a set of Goodyear Asymmetric 6 tires (F:255/35/19 and R:275/35/19) which after...
