I had a long ass reply to both of you... but sadly, my stupid Chrome web froze on me and I'm too damn lazy to re-type 2hrs of comment, so I'll keep it simple.

FYI they do sell some of parts. Example 14R parts are available for public (not 14R60), but do you see people buying them? Answer is "no". Toyota is asking same question to you guys. You guys asked for it, we provided, but not selling! Do you guys remember TRD made BBK? iirc $11k~$15k for front!! Yes, you read it correctly and lets not go into rear BBK and other TRD parts. $11k~$15k for simple 6 piston BBK, you can buy other BBK for quarter or less of price and work equally or better than TRD. TRD bucket recline seats? It's Bride Stradia seats, but it double of price. If you think TRD parts are expensive... you should see how expensive 14R kits are. My recommendation, hold on tight to your chair before looking at the price.

With that comment, why aren't you guys buying those parts? You guys asked for it, they have delivered. It's time for you guys to fork over your life saving to them.

Joke on the side, for them, it's cheaper and profitable to make "Limited Edition". Why bother waste making small margin profit? They're not there to become rich. They're there to race, win! They're there to prove that they can make a fast car and stand at the podium. & when I say "they", I mean "GR". Again, they were kind enough to share their knowledge and experience they had working on 86 while racing at Nurburgring and other races. TBH I didn't expect GR will release their ver. 86GRMN is more rare than 14R60 imo. If I had $60k to buy that car and able to import it to see all the stuff done to it, I'll be happiest man. Hell, if they sold me their VLN race ver 86, I'll give both of my nuts and die happy lmao
