Not gonna lie, this car isn't that fun if you can't really modify it. I've reached out to Femto and I get the same answers as pretty much everyone else. Maybe in a few years they'll have unlocked it but ehhh. Really making me consider the platform. Not sure if anyone else is in this bubble...

Didn't care for the badge enough to bring it up and don't have whatever you're referring to either. I just dislike this car in it's stock form and have immense disappointment in it because we can't fully unlock our ECU's and G80 M3's with manuals have that option from the get-go. Horrific/AIDS.

Agreed. The MKIV was a flop too in the US. Ultimately, it's not that cool of a car to bubble wrap.

The car is technically a flop for both Toyota and BMW so are we shocked? They will be worth something in like 10-15 years with low low miles and completely stock. Unless you're already eating cream of wheat regularly and watching your LDL, don't bother.

For weight distribution, a thought. Keep your stock muffler, and have a titanium mid section made for it that works with the stock muffler. I'm thinking about doing this with some nicer tips mainly because the stock exhaust doesn't restrict at all and it's not a bad idea to keep some weight...

This is exactly why I did what I did. CAE's work and look great in track cars. Not street cars. But they're the best shifters on the market for chassis mounted.

Oliver if you can do leather bound edges or even vinyl, that would be sick.

Auto guys don't have clutches, they have torque converters. They picked the lightest clutch for this car for ease of use 100% because the clutch feel is kinda garbage stock. And after driving both S2Ks (many of them), an FK8 R and an FL 5 R, stock for stock the Honda transmissions blow the...

I haven't driven any of the Porsches you listed. However, I have driven a 72 911 S, 964 C4S, 993 Turbo, 997.1 GT3 RS, 997.1 GT3, 997.1 Turbo, 987.1 Cayman S, 981 GT4, 718 GT4, and a few newer ones. So I can say with great confidence, that the manual Supra doesn't really compare to those cars...

It's adjustable for shift throw length. I'm running it closest to stock throw length. I do agree, stock throws are perfect. Stock rubber, eww.

The shift lever is shorter, bent differently, is made of a different alloy, has no rubber, uses poly shifter bushings, uses a bearing instead of a plastic shifter coupler that BMW uses and is adjustable. It's not that simple.

Surprised that the F10 550i/M5 Clutch doesn't work for this.

All AutoSolutions kits are designed with the stock knob weight factored in. Adding weight feels like it's working with you on a stock setup but in this case, it would make the shifts have more effort, so not worth it. I've hit the 500 miles on the kit and am due to record a broken in video...

Been done that. And fixed the garbage factory throws too.

Since you're new here, I will start off with: If you can get a manual without a tax on it, jump on it. It drives like a 3 series BMW but tighter and lighter. The bones are there to build something if you wanted it, but that's all on you. Truly is kinda a blank canvass. If you don't...

Absolutely, most of their buyers are folks who don't care about driving. I know that's changing but I'm trying to hoard as many manual cars as I can because every year we have less and less. I'm just saying for me, the other cars I own are much harder to get back into if I were to sell them so...

If I had to commute again, I'd honestly be looking at a Tesla. I would actually sell the Supra to do it since my other cars aren't as replaceable.

Man is picking the worst places to work on his car and I actually feel bad. Doesn't help that Toyota actually f-ing sucks with this platform but over a leaky diff that he's been talking about since getting the car. It's not that they can't work with BMW to get the parts, they actually don't...

Taking a car built off of BMW parts assembled by Austrians to be worked on by techs who normally work on Camry's regularly is laughable. If you had taken your car into a BMW independent shop, it would be fixed by now. Toyota warranty is mostly meaningless since they have the same issues with...

I used to work with his father in law haha. Ryan's super cool and this is definitely cooler than pushing the 3 cylinder.
