Prices for normal cars are staying pretty firm unless it's a crap box no one wants, but the niche stuff is getting softer. Plus the 2024 are here.

Check out the number of Manual Supras 5 speeds for sale at MSRP. The people that have money will have money, but the interest rates 100% moved some ppl out of the market.

There’s MK3 Supras for sale?

Got my winters on. Did a coat of ceramic coat before installing. Was kind of scared at first but It was easy to apply. I used Gyeon Rim Sealant from Amazon.

Also.. that G87 M2 looks bad ass at 10:45. I suppose that's the e36 like M wing you can get.

JDMDreams 11-10-2023 01:52 PM

Hmm I haven't really followed the platform cuz you can't buy one but they concluded the type r is better unless you really want AWD, but that AWD craps out cuz of over heat in like 2 laps so you get fwd only lol. And your oil temp over heats too. :ahwow: that billet diff mod sounds expensive and they don't even know what fluid it uses.

Those here with the GR Corolla, how are you liking the car after spending some time with it?

Bender Unit 02-27-2024 09:09 AM

Love it. Nibble, Steering Wheel is very direct. GR-Four AWD system is awesome
Powerful enough, Exhaust sound decent.

The CON. to me personally is the Interior & Space.
and I SOLD It last month :pokerface:

68style 02-27-2024 09:13 AM

??? Loved it so much that you.......... owned it for like 6 months? lol

1 year 21 days :whistle:

Love my GR. Just came back from Kelowna on Sunday. On the top of the Coq it was snowing hard and the car handled it with no problems. The sound system does suck and will be upgraded.

I returned back to FK8 LE
sold my MY2018 in March, 2022 :QQ: kept checking the market to get back since last summer.

I still own the FL5. It will not go anywhere :hotbaby:

Badhobz 02-27-2024 04:53 PM

wtf is a fk8 le ? Like a dx or a lx or something ?

I thought you got two type R Civic’s!!! That would be like the coolest and most batshit collection ever

JDMDreams 02-27-2024 05:41 PM

Why isn't the new one much better?
