Did something just mention... push start? XD
|
my very first mod must be the door stabilizer!!! i wonder how much extra power it pulls by this "mechanical part"........
|
Hopefully Scion will sell all if not most of these trd parts
|
Sweet. Lots of must have items here.

TRD parts are cool mods. Til you realize you're replacing perfectly good stock brakes, wheels/tires, sway bars, shocks/springs that have tons of life left. You already paid for them in buying the car; now you're going to sell them at a loss? Then lose more money buying marked up TRD parts (or lose a little less if you buy used)? Then lose even more to get them installed? Which sometimes costs more than the part being installed and why I gravitate towards DIY. But I still want these parts. I hope they come pre-installed in a TRD or STI or PROVA edition. They may have a higher sticker price but should cost less than modding a stock car.
Toyota really knows how to gyp you! I've fallen for it several times over. :bonk: |
I see that duck tail on BRZ. :D
|
door stabilizer? what the fuck. why isnt the door stabilized from the factory? :mad0260:
|
I'm new to the Toyota world but TRD parts are after-market parts installed by your local Toyota dealer and can't be ordered directly?
|
I do get a kick out of all these parts... Toyota spends all this time setting up the car how they want it - fun, sporty, involving, yadda, yadda, yadda - and then they offer bits that go some way to removing those USPs, lol.
Will say the seats might be cool if the stock ones turn out not to offer enough support. |

With that one I disagree.
1 Piston brakes have a big disadvantage when it comes to brake pad wear and stopping power. If you use your car for buying groceries then I agree. There are also no good brake pads available for 1 piston brakes. |

I use Carbotech XP8 pads. |
I must admit 6 pot calipers IMO are a tad over kill for a car of this size.
|
There is never too much stopping power. It is always nice if you can stop from 100 km/h to 0 km/h in 2 sec.

Those brakes would seem fitting on a 500 bhp heavy beast. All you need is 4/2 pistons for this car if you think the stocks won't be adequate.
|
Pretty cool list of parts. Not sure if I would get any of them but TRD did a good job.
|
To say the truth I'd be more interested in TRD lowerwing springs, wheel spacers and the strutt bar is fine. For exhaust I prefere the STI one, and 6/4 pistons is really too much, 4/2 are just what it needs, especially in a racecar with 17" rims.

Good question. Or is this alleged "door stabilizer" merely cosmetic? |

I'm intrigued about the shock absorbers, though - I had a Miata with Tokico Illuminas that had adjustable damping, and I had FM lowering springs. Car could HANDLE!!! Ride was pretty tight, but was pretty good on the freeway. Beat you up in town. I'm not sure I'd want something quite that... severe again. 'Specially at my age. ;) |
only TRD mods worthwhile is the brakes and suspension.
I wish NISMO would make parts like that available... they did that stuff for the 350z but it wasnt really an amazing upgrade. |
Pricing?

Me likey you Ms. TRD
|
Everything in the list looks great, especially the front lip and duckbill spoiler. I wish the high response exhaust was dual exit and not four though :thumbsup:
|
the real pics look so much better was worried there for a sec
|
im going to say 4k for the brake kit, 1,200 for the catback, 1,800 suspension, 2,500 for seats, 2,000 for body kit.
|
i gotta say that exhaust give me a boner....
|
we need stuff like lightweight pullys, intake manifolds, door illumination (says TRD), trd drysump, COLD AIR INTAKE... lol
