Oofā¦..personally donāt get the point, as these CUV things everyone drives seem like the worst compromise of both an SUV and sedan to me. The Type R is already a practical 4 door hatch with good space inside.
But still wish you luck. As long as you know it wonāt be worth anywhere near what you...
Congrats! Very happy for you man.
I know the auto rev match is great but if youāre like me and like to heel toe yourself, I highly recommend a pedal spacer. Was the first mod I did and best upgrade under $100 for me.

Ordered mine from here. Used a code for 15% off too but canāt find what it was in my order email.
Congrats! Is it a manual?
I originally went in to the dealer to put a deposit on a manual Tacoma TRD Pro before changing my mind and switching it to the 4Runner.
Similar to the 4Runner, despite all the reviewers whining about how ancient they are, I would still take this gen over the new Tacoma.
This is cool, always appreciate the old school guys that are happy to āmiss outā on the newest tech gadgetry or app.
I used to obsessively update my itunes library and hunt down new CDs/mp3s to add. It got too overwhelming to keep up with so finally caved and started using free Spotify. Gave up...
Not exactly something I did to my Type R but more something I picked up because of it.
Saw this Autoart 1:18 diecast models of my car (except in RHD) and had to have it:
Level of detail is very impressive. Also couldn't resist and ordered a MotorHelix EK9 CTR which is also pretty detailed...
Who did you end up going with? Happy with the result?
Not metro south but I've heard nothing but great things about Mike's Auto Body North in Saugas. A bit out of your way but supposedly one of the best in the state. I bumped into the owner at a cars & coffee, believe he drives an NSX Type S...
I never went wider, I just went up to a 245/35/20 Michelin AS3+ tire on the OEM wheels. But even though the stock FL5 tire is also a 30 series, the 265 width makes it a slightly larger sidewall than that on our stock 30 series tires. Keep in mind, even with the added sidewall, I still blew out...
Thanks for the info!
You have one with the same part #? Surprised to hear it doesnāt fit good, looked like a good fit from the pics Iāve seen on the FK8 mirror.
Are you interested in selling yours? š Iām in MA too.
Curious as to why? Bored of the FK8? Worried it will start having issues? Drive too many miles?
Iām the opposite type of car buyer as Iāll only buy a car I really love and only part with it if it either falls apart or becomes too problematic (hello Jeep and Germans!). Now that I only have...
I have given up on wired connectivity lol its too annoying.
I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max in an Otterbox Defender case that is held on securely via a Nikumotors mount + Proclip magsafe holder + Apple magsafe charger combo. Automatically connects to bluetooth for sound (mostly use Spotify) and I...
Can't comment on the MK8 but I was in the market for a MK7 Golf R when they were new. It was fast, could turn into an AWD rocketship with a little modding, but just couldn't justify it over the GTI in either manual or DSG. It was kind of numb and boring imo.
Surprisingly, I found the GTI to be...
They're all awesome imo. GSF is the ultimate enthusiast dadmobile. The RCF is a sweet GT coupe with some track focused bits.
I think the advantage of the LC500 over the others is it isn't a top trim variant of a regular Lexus. From the development to the design to the interior, its more special...
Those look great! Very nice. This would be my choice for a summer set if I didn't have my NSX wheels.
Is the offset higher than the OEM wheels or do your rock guards just make it seem like that? Also, what size tire (sorry if I missed this from an earlier post)?
Thatās amazing, good for him! Iām probably as equal a Toyota fanboy as I am Honda. Those V8s are glorious and bulletproof reliable, just wish it came in a manual and maybe the option for a lighter/less luxurious Toyota variant.
But for a luxury V8 GT car, you canāt go wrong with that or, if you...
If manual wasnāt a must, Iād have an IS500, RC-F, or LC500. Maybe even a used GTR if it wasnāt a daily.
Havenāt looked at prices but wouldnāt be surprised if you could find used RC-Fs for a nice discount, as people typically donāt appreciate V8 Lexus models until they announce theyāre killing...
