Toyota: The Ultimate Jobber
I don't even want to dream about owning a Mk. V Supra anymore.
It'd probably blow up 3 miles before it's required service.

You guys didn't race tho, you couldn't compete. It was already over and done.
So, just how many people on /o/ own soarers/SCs?

>>15293399
Don't own one, but will hopefully be in the market for one soon. Have always wanted to own one.
>>15293400
They're definitely one of the best bang/buck cars you can buy. A lot of supra parts bolt straight on, they're built solid as hell and can be very fast for not a lot of money.
>>15293384
If it were over and done Toyota would have been the winner. But it wasn't, the race ended with Porsche in first.

Fuck your shit. They did the full 24 hours. Too bad for some fucking reason 24 hours of Le Mans actually means 24 hours and a cooldown lap of Le Mans.

Only if they end up putting a bmw inline 6 in it. Fucking toyota those cucks. Why is there a subaru boxer in their only sports car?
Just muh DD Avalon. I'd like to buy a newer one when I can afford it as my next DD. For when I can afford another fun car I'd like to get a Trans Am again. I had a 1987 that I had to cut my losses with.

>>15296684
I could see the next supra (if it ever gets made) being a direct competitor to the gtr, like it was originally. Unfortunately since the gtr is now a $100k+ halo car, so would the new supra be. Based on the gtr and nsx it would probably also be a tt v6 with awd. But my personal theory is that the lexus lc500 will be the spiritual successor to the supra with it also being around $100k
>>15296920
Nah, it's basically confirmed the Mk V will be RWD and I6 driven, thank god.
GT-R competitor? Who knows, but it'll definitely have some sort of hybrid system coupled with it.
And if we were to really be serious here, even the Mk IV was priced way too fucking high for it's time, thus why it failed.....until FNF as we all know.
Either way, I can't wait to see it. If you're right, man I'm going to be very disappointed. Yes, weight distribution sucks, etc. on an I6, but god dammit I want I6's back and NOT from BMW.
>>15297233

> but god dammit I want I6's back and NOT from BMW.
Honestly their backs are against the wall. BMW is the only manufacturer left that makes inline 6's. You can't seriously expect Toyota to try and update an engine last used in 2006. It's too old. They need a completely new platform or one that's already up to date, which BMW has.
>>15297252
And? The 3000GT was a piece of shit and a failure, the NSX was a literal god machine that kicked Ferrari's ass to stop being idiots.
>>15297294

Yes, I'm confusing a 2007 black TRD for a 2008 white trail teams.
>>15297233
MKIV weight distribution is 49/51 for GE and 53/47 for GTE manual models. Not too shabby at all.
>>15297369
D'oh. 51/49 and 53/47.
>>15297358
can't someone change that stuff?
>>15297408
Why would someone pay for the TRD edition and then change to regular FJ parts? It's a clone.
>>15293172
Picked this up last week. 1999 LS400 in Imperial Jade Mica. It's so much better than I would have ever thought honestly. I cannot believe these things are so inexpensive.
>>15297441
Those aren't stock wheels, that design was only available on the TRD version (gunmetal finish aside). The TRD edition has mechanical and performance upgrades as well, just like the Trail Teams did, as did the Offroad package.
You know nothing, Jon Snow.

>>15297294
Don't give up hope bro! These are worth waiting for!
100k miles is still not bad for the FJ since the problems toyota aren't their mechanicals, its everything else.
>>15297567
So where are the TRD badges?
how the fuck did toyota build a FWD toyota sprinter and somehow make it heavier than the RWD one a generation before? What in the fuck

Are you telling me someone spent the money to do a 3 stage paintjob on the black diamond roof that is exclusive to a TRD?

>>15297369
I've always wondered how the weigh distribution would change if you were to replace the fenders with carbon fiber custom made ones....would be pretty sweet.
Still dream of owning a Mk IV but I doubt I ever would. Probably would just keep it stock.
>>15297606
Are you telling me they got rid of the rock rails, black shift knobs, gunmetal wheels, and TRD badges?

>>15297710
GS400 has a better aftermarket and is better performance-wise, but the LS400 is the better all-around car and it's better made and more luxurious. When you drive an LS400, you bow before it as an engineering marvel. The GS400 is a just a sports sedan that doesn't even have a stick shift so you would prefer to buy an E39 540i if those qualities are most important.
>>15297710
if you think that stanceshit looks good, fuck off
My folks were originally going to buy me a CT-200h F-Sport, but I managed to talk them into an IS-200 F-Sport. How are thesecars for daily drives? I test drive a couple tomorrow.
>>15297796
>>15297799
Yeah if you want to stance an LS400 just go fuck yourself and leave these cars alone. There are already too many faggots ruining these cars.
>>15297796
Really? What bout my case? I'm 19 years old working I had a Integra but the B18 was "ok" and casual for me. But I wrecked it so now I wanna get a big boy luxury RWD car. So what you're saying is LS400 is better due to mechanics and engineering? What bout gas mileage?
>>15297831
I'm not going to stance any of these cars you fucking fags. Just drop it but not stance. I just had to get a quick group pic of the two
>tfw she died on me
512,030 miles, died from engine knock.
My dad abused the shit out of her until 300k miles when I got her. By the time I got it, the damage was already done and it was a slow death for the car.
2 battery pack replacements, electric motor replacement, complete interior recall/replacement, transmission rebuild. Ended up dying due to engine knock the last time my dad took her out. I don't blame him though.
I'm probably going to get a Lexus next. Fuck hybrids though, all the money I saved on gas went towards the motor replacement and battery replacements.
>>15297864
Go find a 98-00 LS400 (it has the 5 speed transmission and VVT-i) and drive it. It's just unbelievable how combines all sorts of contradictions into a beautiful driving symphony. It's smooth and pillowy, but firm and sure-footed. It's super quiet and composed, but you can put in ECT power and take it to redline and hear that 1UZFE come to life. It goes 120mph the way most cars do 40mph. The interior is plain, but well made. The plastics are particularly amazing (very dense and secure) and nicer than what Lexus puts in brand new ones. Almost like pushing stone tablets.
On top of all this, it's a very reliable vehicle with a reputation for longevity. Just make sure it's up to date on its timing belt jobs or do it immediately when you buy it because it has a V8 interference engine with a timing belt (long story on how that happened). It gets very good highway MPG (25) and it's large and versatile enough to be a great daily driver. It even has a snow optimization mode if you live in that kind of climate.
>>15297961
Haha thanks anon of the descriptive detail on the LS! I live in California and traffic and driving conditions in downtown are a bitch! I was planning on the GS400 due to the fact of 300 HP but the way how the LS is engineered seems superior! Thanks anon but letting you know most LS in those years are rare as fuck and usually have 170k or higher miles :(
>>15297252
The Mk IV when it came out was around 60k CAD as I recall, which was a massive jump in price compared to the Mk III and it didn't have the legendary status it does now to warrant it.
It just seemed like a ridiculously overpriced Toyota at the time.
>>15298013
The 98-00 LS400 has 290 HP, which is more than its predecessor which had 260 HP.
I flew from Ohio to Colorado to pick up the LS that was the best match for me. The cars are rare but they're worth it.
>>15297912

>>15297766
>everyone i know says they're too old
That's because the people you know are trying to give you the best advice. The older a car is, the worse the condition they'll be in, because of not only wear and tear, but also degradation from age. If you want to do sick drifts like Tagumi, here's what you need to know:
1984-1987 Corolla SR5 = RWD
1985-1987 Corolla GT-S = RWD
1988-1992 Corolla GT-S/SR5 = FWD
FX16 = FWD
Otherwise get a corolla from the 90's or 2000's if you want a reliable first car. Or fuck it, If I were you, I'd get a manual, awd, turbo, (if you can find one) 5th gen celica. Pic related

So what? I made a few false assumptions. Get over it. Why the fuck do you want a front wheel drive corolla from the 80's? There's a reason they are not desirable cars. Even YOU fucking said you had doubts about them.
> they're in my price range but i doubt they'll be ok
Also, a 5th gen celica is from literally the same year range or newer than an AE92, so you can't bag on them for being "very old." in comparison.

Also worth noting that it was the GT-S so it's a widebody, and it has the rare 10 speaker surround system that actually still works perfectly. 500 CANADIAN FUCKING DOLLARS MAN. WITH A SET OF COOPER SEMISLICKS FOR THE FRONT INCLUDED, JUMPER CABLES, AND LIKE 16 BUCKS IN LOOSE CHANGE

The turbo version is the only redeeming factor. Otherwise they're just a slow revving responsless motor that's torquey and effortless for purposes of getting a large mass from A to B.
The arbitrary layout doesn't make up for it when there's similar sized V6s that outperform it.

You also have to figure my cars still look pretty normie spec to cops as they highly resemble the lesser models. I figure you'd have more issues in say a red MR2 or something of the sort.
What did they mean by this?

They're alright. That's it. For what they are they're boring as all fuck and the interior LITERALLY MELTS.
3 of my 4 are 'Yotas. Supras getting an engine swap, Hilux needs a carb, Crown balls hard
>>15297796
Jesus Christ you're misleading the boy. If you ever want a fast gs dear god just buy a gs300 and buy a 1600 dollar 2jz twin turbo off of an aristo so you dont have to pay muh supra engine tax. Or if you're poorfag you can eBay turbo it for a few hundred but youll have a 450bhp plateau until you crack open that engine and build it
If you want a fast gs never get a 400. They are fast enough to start with but unless you have amazing fab skills or 8000 for a twin turbo or 10000 for a supercharger kit then look elsewhere . don't think because it a v8 you can throw a 1200 dollar set of cams and long tubes and run 11s all day. It's not a Camaro, plus 1uzfe vvtis crap the bed when you start asking for more than 500bhp

stay the fuck away from the early GS300, my girlfriend has a 1998 Toyota Aristo S300. right after buying it the thing did the throttle body error where it goes into limp mode, the apparent only fix is a brand new $1500 throttle body assembly. i pulled a GS300 junkyard throttle body and it did the same thing
its a very very common problem because of the 1st gen drive-by-wire throttle, i adjusted the TPS and it doesnt do limp mode as often but sometimes its every 5 fucking minutes. im close to trying to make a 1st gen Aristo manual throttle to fit the thing or getting a new TPS to see if that fixes it
1UZFE with a supercharger is better but more expensive

'00 Toyota Celica GT-S 6spd/ '03 Lexus IS300 5spd.
Celica - 152k miles
IS300 - 222k miles
Seriously reliable cars, I have some big plans for both these cars. Putting the Celica for track use and the Lexus for a 2JZGTE engine swap for a comfy, fast daily.
>>15307874
When lift kicks in, it's a lot more reminiscent of early VTEC systems the way it's just a jump in power. The i-VTEC system when it kicks in is a lot smoother, but you don't get that "boost" of power feeling.

I'm kinda jelly, I've been looking for a 2000-2005 Celica, but the only one being sold around here is an automatic. There's a really nice looking one in the next state over, but it's got like 250k miles on it.

When will this meme stop?
Running an 06' xB here. Made it to 60,000 miles this year.
What do you think?
>Muh Hachiroku meme car.
Thinking about either getting an Aristo V300 or a Crown Athlete V.
I love the V's styling and headlights but the Aristo has the 2jzGTE.
I daily a 2015 Avalon. Pic is from the webz but looks exactly like mine. Same color, wheels, etc. Great car, really quiet and smooth. Drove it back to back against a 2014 GS350 and preferred the Avy over the Lexus.

buddy picked up one of these for $500 i helped him get it home, leaky power steering and it caught on fire 3 months in. checking the fuel lines help. would've bought it off of him but his parents drove it to the junk yard and took him to the dealership to get something else and saddle him with payment

Scion iA worth it? Trying to get a new car (currently driving an '04 Camry with 225k miles) whilst paying off some student loans, so I wanted something relatively manageable.
>>15314128
Are you buying or leasing? Leasing Corollas is stupid cheap right now with the incentives and student rebate. I got a dude done at $170/mo (36/12k) with absolutely zero out of pocket.
>>15314267
Buying. I was looking for something lively to drive. Havent looked up the Corolla much though.

Posted in the QTDDTOT but figure I should get your opinions too:
V6 option on a Camry: Worth the extra money or not?
>>15320766
They are known to internally leak oil but it also depends what year you're talking about
>>15320810
I'm looking at a 2012 for sale with about 20,000 miles on it.
>>15320824
>a 2012 v6 Camry with low miles
I would
Is it too late to find a good first generationame IS300? I'm looking at ones for $5-8k with anywhere from 90k to 150k+ miles - obviously gonna take the one with the best maintenance history that I can afford.
>>15320887
I want to too. It's being listed for $17,000.
Some people are making me question myself by pointing out that a new 4-cyl is $20,000 and that I should get it for the warranty, but I can't justify giving up the V6 and spending an extra $3,000 for the opportunity to buy a warranty on a car that's known for not really needing repairs anyway..
>>15308439
Tell me about IS300. I need a daily that's fairly reliable and inexpensive to run for about 7k. I can't think of anything better for the money and my preferences.
>>15320917
If you want to slightly save money on gas go for the 4 cyl if you don't give a shit about mpg go for the v6
Should I buy an AW11 with 180k miles and stacks upon stacks of service history.

>>15320919
You really can't beat the IS300 for value. For some reason, they don't have any kind of Takumi, Drift,or JDM tax. So you can buy these easily less than 9k. Although, I doubt they'll be less than 100k miles. That' won't be a problem though.
So what do you get for the car?
>>15321287
>Double Wishbone Suspension F/R
>Torsen LSD
Also to add, it's surprisingly comfortable and quiet. I thought since it was based on the Altezza Platform, it would have stiff suspension and a lot of road noise, but the cabin was quiet, the ride was supple, and since it was a I6 2JZ-GE, very smooth and quiet. The Lexus part about the whole car (at least my car) was it was full leather, with heated and electric seats.
As for maintenance and parts, it really is as cheap and easy to find as you think. You can go to any Toyota dealership and if you know the part number, most likely, Toyota has it too, sometimes cheaper than a Lexus dealership. I've bought axle shaft bolts, supra engine seals, clips, etc. most of the time from Toyota because it was cheaper. They aren't even that expensive to begin with. Hell, I go to the junkyard sometimes, even pulled some Valve Shims from a '94 Camry to replace the ones in the IS300.
And of course, reliability. I've taken this Autocross about 3 times, and I haven't experienced any break downs. I was soo impressed, for an engine with over 200k miles, that it still runs very well.
If there are any problems, here's what they are so far...
>Melting Dashboard
>Rear Subframe differential bushings go bad (I've changed these myself with polyurethane)
Also, the car drinks fuel. I average 20MPG in mixed city/hwy. The highest mpg I've ever gotten was 24MPG on the highway. Range is about 320/360miles Also, Mid-Grade/Premium only. I like to think since my engine is way over 200k miles, it's not getting the MPG it used to get.
Overall, its a really good, comfortable daily. Parts and Maintenance is easy peasy. And really fun to drive on top of that.
>>15321695
I honestly forgot about the suspension.
LSD was only an option though.
