Don't get too excited by the trd gauges in place of the radio- shouldn't think theyll be offered from the factory. They are most likely the existing trd branded defi gauges you can already buy (or at least you used to be able to buy them)

I think this is Toyota's own "Aero Kit". Much like the Aero Kits available for the Supra and Celica. Totally different to the TRD kit and more easily available from the dealers.

Also 4U-GSE is an awesome name for this engine

Long and exhausting (nearly 14hrs) but yeah good thanks

Since getting back to the UK i've been keeping in touch with a handful of people from Toyota and luckly my involvement with the car hasnt finished with returning back to the UK.

I'll be meeting with Toyota again soon to discuss trim levels, options and marketing the car (at least here in the uk). As they do feel i come from their target market and my opinions seems very very important to them

So i am honoured! lol

Now i just need to convince them to give me an 86 for free in exchange for taking it around Europe promoting it at shows and track day events

hehe

not really feelin' the factory Aeros.. but I am sure there will be other better options from Vertex, Amuse, and other brands down the road.

Interesting, I hope this Aero Kit will be available here in the 'states at Scion dealers. It's tasty.

Thanks again for all the info and pictures Leeky, you da man

Wow, this PPT presentation reminds me of something you'd see 10 years ago! They need to take some Powerpoint courses.

Other than that, it sounds great, looks great. Can't wait. Thanks for posting.

In4FRS · 12-08-2011, 12:09 AM

So have we figured out what this kit is exactly yet? Is it officially TRD?
