makes sense... no wonder there's such difficulty getting a whiteout.... every dealer i've talked about ordering an fr-s keeps on telling me raven is the easiest next to ultramarine and firestorm.... i really hope they bring this TRD/Release series to us !!

I AM SO JELLY RIGHT NOW... (caps)

they should have had this available at launch tbh. I would be pissed if they offered this right after I purchased mine.

This setup is just perfect in my book. Things to come for the US I hope.

FML. Really.

...REALLY?!

Looks like fairly solid confirmation between this and the STI BRZ that both companies are keeping FI off this platform from the factory despite all the assumptions and speculation to the contrary.

I'm happy about this because I can customize my FRS my way with the aero bits, roll bars, suspension, wheels, and tires I want without that feeling that I'm still missing the 'better' powertrain from the factory.

I love the trd wheels!!

to be honest, i searched autotrader.com around me 50 mile radius for FRS's and i saw 5, all of them whiteout. :)

Damn, UK only? That is really nice

That's such a complete car. I'm sure the US will get screwed once again b/c of Scion and our version would be a RS version with half of the pieces. :bonk:

It mentioned...."additional instrumentation including the Sports Meter Link System comprising water temperature, and oil temperature and pressure gauges". I didn't see that in any of the pictures...did I miss it?

Need TRD and Nur in America..must have..

so sad, but probably true.

i am also happy about this as well, i agree.

I like them too, but not sure I could afford them at this price: http://ishiimotors.com/trd-sf2-wheel.html ($1780.00/ea)

Hey Toyota! I'll put down a deposit right now. Bring it to the US please.

Good to hear the TRD models are coming out.

About time. Since Toyota in Dubai made an announcement during launch in June that they'd make JDM TRD parts available to all 86 owners, come August.

Looks like we know what to expect from a release series. Now we just need Zeus to make it official. BAM!

the wheels, brakes and exhaust are so expensive by themselves. how much would a full car with everything included like this cost???

from the cost of individual TRD components this model will cost 26k base + 5k wheels + 12k brakes + 3k suspensions + 4K others = $50k? that's a lot of dough for a "limited edition" FRS so I doubt it'll be coming to the US

This would easily be 45-50K in the States based on the price of the TRD stuff...you can build your own ultimate street version
for much less, albeit without a warranty.

We will get everything but the brakes, and the wheels. The wheels are forged but probably not $5k forged wheels, they are only 18 inches, so they got to be cheaper.

Figure the release series 1.0 FR-S will be around $28K.....
It better have push start and those racing seats.....hehe!

Love the wheels!

Damn it. We americans got screwed over again.the uk already got the civic type r and now this.why do they get all the special edition?

US gets TRD TC and the UK get FR-s TRD that's so not fare :mad0260:

Im moving to UK because of this!

I hope the UK forum members will be all over this. Those wheels are beautiful.

Ugh, body kit looks horrible. They can have it.

Looks like they didn't even try to hide the fact these are just bulbous plastic trim pieces taped on.

More weight, more ugly, more money. Where do I sign up?

The body kit would look good if they were actually new body panels instead of that ugly glued on look.

So the US will get the quad exhaust, the coilovers, the sway bars, the bucket seats and the interior mods... :popcorn:

quad exhaust seems excessive.

I think the quad exhaust just makes that ass look all sorts of Juicy. I'm for it if i can find a better aftermarket company to purchase from. I like the TRD bumper more than anything. If ARK Performance puts out a Quad... game over!

I love how you guys bitch and moan that you get screwed over when it comes to cars....

How about the fact that you can get a porsche 911 for about $100K US brand new yet in Australia the equivalent car would cost $230K US.

You guys get such good prices on some amazing cars compared to us Aussies, not to mention the mustangs, corvettes, camaros etc

As cool as it may be, still way too much. I kind of don't care for the 'super aggressive' look for a car that's still 200hp, unless they S/C it and all that too.

i wonder if this is going to be 40k car with 10k BBK. lol. i say buy this and sell TRD BBK. profit!

except the type Rs received better engines.

power wise, this TRD is the same as the base models.

only the brakes/suspension/wheels are functional on this car. everything else is there for looks.

i'll even say that the TRD model is overpriced but that's not the point of this thread.

what the EFF!!!!!!!!!!!!?

Stupid scion! I would've gladly taken this over my BRZ! I wonder if any of those TRD parts have been dyno'd. HP gains perhaps.....only time will tell.

I heard from a Toyota rep at Goodwood there will be only 86 TRD versions to order. Besides £40k for a car where the body kit doesn't 100% match the color of the rest of the car is a total rip off!
