Calling all V8's....
Its been pretty boring around here for almost a week.
My brother told me to start an 05 v8 thread (or V8 in general). This thread can includ anything and everything. Pros/Cons/gripes, anything that comes to mind. I know we all do a lot of research, but maybe we can share, and exchange info.
You can almost call this a rollcall of some sort.

I have other issues, but for now...
05 V8 Sport will not accomodate a TRD (or equivalent size non Yota) Filter.

If I am not mistaken, you can put one in on the limited, just not the sport?

Oh, its the same filter, but indeed it won't fit because there is linkage in the way.

The TRD filter I'm refering to is a OEM replacement, which is a direct replacement for the factory drop-in. I don't think we are talking about the same thing.

Well, I bought the Toyota OEM TRD replacement filter for the V8 and it wouldn't fit without removing the anti-roll bar on the Sport Edition.
read this link.. TRD Replacement
I guess others who have ordered the same Toyota OEM TRD replacement filter for the 9015-YZZD3 filter have experienced the same problem.
Perhaps I was given the wrong TRD filter.

I'm sorry PROZAC (Cool Name) we are definitely talking about two different things. :bonk: I'm referring to the AIR filter.

Alright, I'm not starting a V6 vs V8 thing again, but I just have to get a few things off my chest. If money is no object get the V8. I keep reading that the MPG difference is minimal between the V6 and V8. Don't fool yourselves. If you hold on to your 4R for 6,7, 8 or 10 years that 1 or 2 MPG's is going to add up, especially if gas prices keep on going the way they are. The V8 right off the bat is $1500 more out of your pockett. The difference in performance between the V6 and V8 is also minimal, unless, of course, you're towing heavy objects. All right, the V8 has 25 more hp than the V6, not really a big deal, but most of us are driving back and forth to work, groceries, taking kids to school, occasional outing on the weekend. I also believe the handling is better in 2 wheel drive rather than 4 wheel. Not a huge difference, but again, another minimal difference. Definitely get the X-Reas if you are going to make sharp turns at 50 miles per hour part of your everyday driving. But be ready for a more harsh ride. As far as resale, gas prices rise to $3.00 or $4.00 per gallon as many predict in the next few years, selling a V8 may be just a bit difficult. Like I said, I just had to get a few things off my chest here. All of the above is must my humble opinion. I''m an old guy, so be gentle.
