Hey guys,
Out of curiosity. Has TRD ever made an after market engine mod that was superior to any other brand on toyota sports cars? From my experience from owning a 7th gen celica. All trd parts such as the headers, exhaust system got owned by other after market brands such as injen etc. I'm not a big fan of TRD coz i think for the price you pay... you dont get much. In Australia we had TRD Aurions and TRD Hilux. They failed. Surpercharged FWD? need i say more? . Feel free to point out where TRD has done well in the past. maybe the GT4.. I dont know. Just my 2c. I hope C-One comes with aftermarket mods for this. I'd rather C-One than TRD anyday |

Yeah and the demand is not high either. PTuning canceled development on their turbo setup for it due to lack of demand, despite their setup making 400+whp on one. |

Any force induction coming directly from Toyota or Subaru is probably a pipe dream. They made it pretty clear they are insistent of not doing so.
TRD FT86 just looks like aero kit + 18" rims + brembo brakes. All superficial stuff that anyone else can do. At least Subaru's STI concept plans to have actual carbon fiber replacements of the frame. |
