not my car, but the sport trim. only difference under the hood is no tower brace (the factory is ugly imo)
interestingly those two levers on either side of the car disable ABS and traction control at a hardware level. you can still disable traction control from inside the car, but the lever means that you can never turn it back on by accident

actually it does quite a lot, it changes the geometry of the front suspension in a way.

>>17496298
I've never actually seen an S197 with ITBs. But I looked it up, and the power gain got the cost is waaaaaay lopsided and doesn't seem worth it.

>>17496947
Not him, but a strut bar only adds stiffness, reducing the flex of the struts under high loads.
It doesn't change the geometry of the suspension; only reduces the geometry changes associated with frame flexing.

I don't know about supras, but knowing how heavy they are, they probably have a lot of chasis rigidity already.

>>17497734
How much MPGs?

>>17496698
Strut tower braces really don't do much, what you want to change that is proper suspension upgrades like coilovers

are cold air intakes even worth it?

>>17498228
Not usually. Unless your intake is unusually convoluted, they don't usually improve airflow at all. And unless they are couples with a better intake manifold, they are usually break even horsepower.

>>17498228
same if not less horsepower more often than not

maybe cooler denser air but it almost never translates to more power.

tl;dr power changes within margin of error -- no

>>17498228
>>17498304
>>17498375
does it Help the engine at all?

>>17498390
If it's any consolation, it makes your engine sound a lot better (but that can be subjective).

>>17498228

A lot of them are worse. Like in cars where they pick up more hot air than the OEM intake.

>>17498430
>>17498458
so just sound would be the only real gain here.

actually, colder denser air does normally translate to more horsepower. the problem is that most "cold air intakes" aren't actually cold air intakes. instead it's just a cone filter still located in the engine bay.
