I think you'll find if we went through a litmus test together we would likely 99% agree, per an earlier post of mine:

Coil packs, ecu tune, throw out bearing, axle nuts, other miscellaneous parts that for some reason fell apart early (like that girls fuel pump). They are all unexpected deficiencies in the car whether they're tracked or not.
Edit: cam timing issues as well

For example I don't think Toyobaru should warranty a moneyshift, but that is irregardless of track usage or not. I think Toyobaru should step up and replace things that have not performed as expected under reasonable conditions, and imo hitting the track/autox with this car is a reasonable use case.
I'll admit, "misuse" is an excellent word to choose, but there's a big gap in interpretation when it comes to sports cars, what the manufacturer claims the car can do, and the actual customer service we receive when it comes down to it. I just wish it was more explicit, hell I'd rather they say "no closed circuit performance driving" and be done with it, at least I would have known when I bought the car I would be SOL for the issues I've had and I sure as hell wouldn't be bitching about it now.
