after market parts
 

i was bored so.
after market parts for the future FT engine ,what ever the engine will be

will you buy TRD toyota lincesed or

Other X engineering companies.

prices range or difference will be just up to 50$

to be competitive.
:party0030:

Probably TRD parts for me - they always look closer to stock while giving similar performance benefits.

...And I've always liked the brand!

seems like whenever TRD makes a FI it's weak...and their clutches are just re branded Exedy stuff.BTW brand new whats up!!! :)

Look at all other company. They do the same thing. Nothing different on that part.

& welcome to the forum! :happy0180:

p.s.
this makes a 2,000 posts b*tches! :party0030:

Seeing some of the aftermarket stuff for the WRX/STI and such there are great products and some not so great ones; I'd do some research before choosing obviously but I'd go with whichever has the best reviews and performance (no ebay shiz for this car)

I always do my research before i buy stuff im not sticking on one name but I always like TRD Japan stuff...FYI most critical parts on my AE86 are TRD Japan products so cant say any wrong with them.

i did that in purple because purple is a LIAR. are you in any way familiar with the TRD supercharger kits for the 3.4L V6, the 4.0L V6, and the 5.7L V8??? they are far from weak, i assure you.

TRD for me, as i'll likely just have the dealer install them when i purchase the car. TRD struts and springs, short shifter, cat-back. and we'll see what wheel options they come up with.

I guess I never worked on those engines but for my celica,solara,scion tc the sportier cars oof toyota just get junk

Correct me if I'm wrong but those are not the "sportier" cars of Toyota!

As Mata said, it's TRD USA which has the bunk parts and are usually way overpriced compared to the other aftermarket products.

Unless you plan to add TRD floormats, a TRD shiftknob, TRD gas and oil cap and TRD matching window stickers, it's up to you but you'll look like a poser! :clap:

Compared to the engines he is talking about they are.I guess TRD USA just sucks

I'm gonna buy up all the Scion-branded stuff =D

Couldn't resist, sorry.

TRD USA ain't what it used to be. My wheels are JDM TRD. They are forged monobloc by Rays Engineering/Volk. The US market TRD wheels are cast by Enkei I believe. Not that Enkei wheels are bad, but the difference between the cast and forged wheels is pretty significant. Almost all of their new stuff is just re-branded, over-priced components from existing aftermarket companies that is more street performance and appearance than the older stuff, which was actually intended to race. Hence the 'R' in the name.

Personally I will research what comes out before making any decisions, and will likely be making several of my own components for the car.

You should know, Japan get +5 on everything. Cars, girls, game, everything~ LMAO :bellyroll:

HKS, CUSCO, DEFI, ARC, BLITZ & NARDI for me (^.^)

TRD USA SUCKS.

There are zillion aftermarket brands out there. I'm not going to get TRD accessory.

They should rename it to Scion Racing Development. Better fit.

Seeing that they actually do a lot of real racing I'd contend with that.... :bellyroll:

how about you guys at least wait and see what they offer? geeze.

Nup, F*#k TRD.... HKS, ARC, etc will bring out far better products thAN TRD will however i guess some prefer the TRD option as it comes with warranty i presume....

If u want this FT-86 to be everything it can be even within a budget u would be far better getting quality performance parts through HKS, GREDDY, BLITZ etc....... :burnrubber:
If TRD bring out any diffusers etc in carbon fibre ill be down with that...


TRD r just over priced... For people on a budget TEIN will out do TRD for any coilover upgrades, Project-Mu would be a far better option brakes wise blah blah blah...... (^.^)

Suspension upgrades from TRD japan are straight bad ass.

Hey guys, I have a general question regarding modifications. What's the most modification you can do to a car but still keep it street legal?

I know that for exhausts, you can't change anything that has to do with emissions and it can't exceed a certain decibal range, so a catback system is the only option right? What about other components, such as intakes, manifolds, ECUs, etc?

Thanks in advance

Jet-fuel conversion, but then you have to have 5 Cats for it to be street legal, this will give most hp......
:slap:

What are you trying to achieve, goals for the car?

Sorry, I don't think I was clear.. I think what I mean't was bolt-on modifications or "easy modifications"

I don't really have any goals (not planning to race/autocross/track/ or anything like that), but just simple upgrades I can do to a "daily driver sports car" to make it sound/perform better. I'm not looking for monster horsepower gains either, 5-15 hp gain would be good enough, lol

Yeah, I'm pretty new to car tuning, so if you have any suggestions on where I can learn more about it let me know!

:laughabove: at jetfuel. Technically you can do anything that still passes the emissions test, even convert to a different fuel. Although if you tamper with the ecu or emission systems you would fail the emissions test.

Since your in Cali you're going to need to consult with a lawyer :bellyroll:. Actually you should look for a good tune shop and ask them. I'm sure some of them make a living getting modded cars to pass the emissions tests.

In Kentucky we don't have emission testing. So even though there is many federal laws that prohibit tampering there is none or almost zero enforcement. yay for the Commonwealth.

Well, I don't wanna be a ****, but 90% of the car forums you go to will tell you to "search" for obvious repeater questions(things that have been asked numerous times in Forums) but seeing how this is a slightly diff forum, basically if you looking for small performance upgrade like 5-15hp, then I don't think you really have to worry about effecting your street legal ability, unless you live in Cali, then I got no clue. For what your asking, full exhaust(header+midpipe/downpipe/cat+muffler), cold air intake, with a reflash would probably surpas your 5-15hp goal even if those are 5-15whp. Turbo vehicle's are even easier, bigger exhaust, Boost Controller, reflash, intake and depending on the engine/vehicle, you can see 25-100whp gain, but that all depends on the engine, hope that helped

you get what you pay for. seems to me like you have an irrational hatred of TRD parts, so have fun with that. :thumbsup:

That was a jk, and tampering with your ecu must be refer'd to Cali because it's def not illegal here

Thanks guys! I envy you guys for having less stringent regulations..

I went to SoCal about a month ago and took a ride with my BIL, in his EvoX and he is very big car guy, he was explaining some of cali's laws and reg's, screw that, and apparently they get worse every year

Sorry, did I read it correctly? Project-Mu vs TRD calipers? I don't remember Project-Mu been cheap. They're pretty high up there on the price tag. Yes, they do make awesome brakes... but it comes w the price (just like Endless)

this. like boostjunkie said, just be glad that this isn't a typical car forum. believe it or not i think this is the 1st time such a question has been asked here.

I know it, about the jet fuel :thumbup:. I believe they scan the ECU, perform a visual inspection, and perform a "sniffer" test. CARB is massively overbearing and they will only get worse. And there's 12 other states with California style emissions, mostly around Cali and New York.

Lol so I guess I cant be a search natzi?

Yeah I hope that sh&t dosnt come here, Ill be in for some trouble

AFTER reading all the comments
my conclusion is this

:slap:

LOL
naaah just kidding
thnks for all your comments
seems like everybody hates TRD USA even when they have 32 years in this business and access to TRD日本 info.
but i think you have more right to say that cause you live in USA.
i didnt know the quality get down after the years.

not everyone hates TRD USA. they don't always have everything, but a lot of the stuff they do have is of acceptable quality.

aw ok
is good to hear that.:happyanim:

But at a ridiculous price. Re-branded, acceptable companies' parts, with a price premium.
