The worst car i've driven that has been manufactured after 2010

What was wrong with it? I'm actually looking to get one when I move back to Canada in a year.

Only way Id consider it is if it had a turbo.That car with a turbo and light weight, WINNING

That being said I won't test drive one because my stupidity will take over and sign on the dotted line lol

All I'm really hoping for is that with the switch from Scion to Toyota it will bring more of the available OEM bolt-ons to the US. LOUVERS! LOUVERS! LOUVERS!

stevesnj · 05-12-2016, 08:53 AM

I think that Toyota will bring more bolt on performance parts too. Now is a chance to get TRD or GRMN parts since the aftermarket is very saturated now for The Twins.

Won't they still cost like 1200$?

Muaddib · 05-12-2016, 09:41 AM

I used to work for Toyota and there is no way in hell that Toyota N.America will bring in JDM performance parts here. Regardless how much it is.

A good portion of that is international shipping. I'm hoping for economies of scale.

Don't dash my dreams!

Gyzm0 · 05-12-2016, 09:42 AM

So, have we determined how they bumped the 5 horses? Is it confirmed it's just Intake + tune?

Do we have numbers for the new gear ratios?

You could make one out of abs/thermal plastic or fiberglass/CF. Make a mold for a single louver/vent/opening and shape them one piece at a time then connect them all overlapping like scales

TRD bolt on stuff they can, they do it now. I'm sure they can add GRMN stuff to the bolt on list similar to TRD.
