The OEM+ Lovers Thread
I'm a lover of OEM+ so figured I'd start a thread for those of us who are lovers of OEM+
What is OEM+? It's aftermarket/optional parts including but not limited to TRD, STI, Modellista, and SAA. If you're an OEM+ lover, post up your OEM+ lover build threads! Some that I'm aware of: Beyer Subaru: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10474 Chanomatik's Alaskan BRZ: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19086 derekchu88's FR-S (For Sale): http://www.carbuffs.com/scionfrs13white.htm DSOmegaX BRZ+STI Build: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19176 nzer's TRD86 fully loaded: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23305 OnkelC's Build: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36716 SpecPer:http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18050 Switchlanez goes BRZRK: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24915 Supra2NV's 10 Series Born TRD http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40726 ZC6BRZ's wannabe JDM Type S: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24702

Neat idea!
I'll try to stick to OEM+ parts as well, here's what I've got so far: the tiny brown box is a TRD oil filter, the tiny white box contains the TRD Oil filler cap. plus a TRD front strut tower bar, battery clamp and the TRD/Momo steering wheel. here's my humble build thread: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36716 Last edited by OnkelC; 06-08-2013 at 02:20 AM. |

Nope. TRD is OEM by definition. The plus is also OEM or something of the like.
For example my Prodrive wheels are about as close as you can get to OEM. Prodrive being an aftermarket mfr that makes parts for Subaru. Rays being the builder of the rim is also an aftermarket company that has mfr'd wheels for Subaru for over 10 years now. Bridgestone also worked in the production and r&d of the wheels and they have been a supplier to Subaru for over 10 years. This would make my wheels OEM+. It might seem hard to understand because OEM has multiple contradictions. The easiest way to understand is to look at it like an umbrella. There might be multiple arms to an umbrella but everything under it makes it whole. TRD has Toyota in the acronym. So this one is pretty simple. If you don't get this one you will never understand OEM or OEM+. Some other very simple examples would be as follows: TTE STi Saa SPT Now for some + examples: Modellista Grazio Tom's Corazon Prova/eifel Syms Zero Sports These + examples are aftermarket companies that are geared strongly towards a specific mfr's models. |

Yes TRD is part of Toyota but there's two part lines and back in the day I couldn't go to any dealer and by TRD parts. I had to buy them with help from my buddy Bob at TRD/USA the older Toyota guys here know who I'm talking about. But thank you for post the info for me. btw could you show me all there so called OEM/TRD parts for sale. http://www.scion.com/cars/FR-S/acces...wAll&view=grid TRD History.....http://www.pressroom.com.au/press_re...52&clientID=24

Quote from build thread: "Then, I ticked all of the other TRD options I could get at the time (or have added now!) including: 1. TRD Carbon Strut Bar 2. TRD Stabiliser (sway bar) set 3. TRD Coilovers with recommended 15mm drop (you can see the yellow of them in the pic of the wheel below) 4. TRD chassis rigidity kit 5. TRD Shift Knob 6. TRD Fuel Cap Cover 7. TRD Door Stabilisers" ^^ Those didn't come standard and most of them aren't cheapish add ons either (coil overs for instance) Has many people drooling over it and it's filled with OEM parts, so in my books it's a +. |

Nah, not stupid. I'm not saying that and I hope that you aren't offended. I am simply trying to break it down into the simplest of terms for you.
Yep, here's all of the OEM/TRD parts for sale outside of the link you posted for the US: http://www.trdparts.jp/conceptcar/86...ine/index.html http://www.toyota-europe.com/Images/...80-1177677.pdf Here's the wiki for TRD: [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Racing_Development"]Toyota Racing Development - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame] Here's the wiki for OEM: [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_equipment_manufacturer"]Original equipment manufacturer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame] Regardless of how Bob got parts for you, they would still be considered OEM if they were TRD. Are they aftermarket to you? Or aftermarket by definition? Sure, to some degree because you might be removing a part to install another. But if it were a factory build like @nzer, you would be able to check off all of the boxes on your OEM build sheet and the car would be delivered from the OEM as-is. Quote:
