General Car Conversation 2025 - Part 1
I think the G30 is definitely going to be a future classic because it is the last gen before BMW started going crazy with the styling. I've seen a number of G60's in the real world now and bloated is the best way to describe them. They give me Ford Taurus vibes for some reason.
EDIT
OK I just clicked on the link and watched
Going back in the garage to finish installing the downpipe on the Supra 🙃💀
😲
I’m curious if you will see any gains with just the downpipe without a tune. I didn’t see much of a gain with my catted downpipe with a tune like I had hoped. The tune made the biggest difference.
Nope, pure bearing metal......
You almost never see headgasket failure on German cars unless someone really overheated one several times. 2.0 EA888s however love to set new records for chain and bearing failure speed! And HPFP follower failure, and carbon lock, and PCV failure and on and on.

I may eventually get a full unlock tune when I get bored with current setup especially. Not a fan of shipping ECU to Finland. Hopefully sooner than later it will be available stateside.
One Supra ran a 10.9 on MS109 fuel on a JB4 tune.

I don't know how an engine can survive with that much metal in the oil grindjng away at the engine internals, cams, etc. Lol
Marking the Audi 2.0T engine off the list of future cars to own. Lol

Oh they don't survive, they are horrific. I hate any EA888 and the EA113 is on THIN ice, I still don't like them at all due to the idiotic cam adjuster system and how it has internal leaks. Still not as bad as the EA888 chain failing every 30-60k miles but both suck.....the 1.8T is much better if you don't want to lose you mind with constant issues.
