Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By BlackTaco: Well, I did an M3 vs IS500 thread a while back. I really wanted a launch edition V8 IS500, but ended up ordering a manual 6spd M3 instead. I sent my build in, but I'm still on the waiting list. I'm also on the waiting list for an M2 but don't have a deposit down. In the mean time, the Incognito colored launch edition IS500 popped up on cars and bids. I scored it for a killer deal (in todays market). Seems like the market has turned due to interest rates (I'm paying cash). Our flight to Sacramento is scheduled this Thursday and the wife and I are going to drive it back via 101 and hit the Redwoods in CA, make a road trip out of it. Looking forward to an easy to drive, V8 RWD daily. I might still do the M3 or M2 as a track car, and get rid of my 2020 PP1 mustang, but not entirely sure - as it's slightly built, and pretty damn fast on track.  Now that I will have my V8 fix, not sure I will still need it. We also have a Tundra/Armada/GS350 as DD's - so the wife is slightly annoyed at adding a 5th car to the fleet right now. We'll see. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/126656/ECCB2B36-38C0-41F5-963B-6F2786B97987_jpe-2591913.JPG

I sold my 93 fzj in August of last year and it bugged the hell out of me. I was shopping for a jdm immediately and found this one already built and we'll equipped for a can't pass up price.
230 watts of solar charging a 100a/hr Battleborn battery, ARBs engaged by an ARB dual compressor and on board air tank, fridge and stove on drawers in the back. Tire carrier outback with ladder for the RTT. It's not perfect but is relatively low miles for the 1hdt. And has a lot going for it. Funny thing is 20 minutes after that photo the sun set and I found out that the HID headlight conversion didn't work and I was still a few hundred miles from home, so I finished the drive with intermittent use of the LP6 yellows |

The 4runner is a beautiful. I had an 86 in black. I bought it from a doctor that used it for grocery runs. It had 57,000 on it in 1998. I drove it to 300k and sold it to a friend that put another 100k on it before losing it in a crash with a semi. Friend survived.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Butternut: @MVolkJ did you end up changing tires sizes from OE when you went with them? Yes. The SM-10s I have are 19x9.5 in front and 19x11 in back; the OEM wheels are 19x9 and 19x10. So I bumped up to 265/35/19 front and 285/35/19 back, stock tires are 255/35/19 and 275/35/19. These are all-seasons (DWS06+). I may keep the OEM wheels for winter going forward and if I do, I’ll move the all-seasons to them and go up to 305/30/19 on the rears on the SM-10s for summer. |

On the S550 Mustangs you do camber plates and -1.7 up front with extended studs and your GTG for 305’s squared. I almost went Supra for a track car but didn’t have a back seat. I’ve driven the Supra on track, it’s a blast! The Apex wheels kick ass for what they are, and price. |

I looked at a bunch of options to replace the ugly OEM two-tones before settling on the Apexes. The SM-10s are very light for their size, come in great offsets for the Supra, are fully JWL/VIA certified, and are very reasonably priced compared to other flow-formed wheels (Rays, Enkei, etc.). At 30% off and free shipping (Black Friday sale) they were a no-brainer. |
