hey bud,

That is one SWEET car you have! its is beautiful! One of the nicest i have seen. Keeping it subtle, what i like to see

[agentturbo]

Hi Gord...c'mon then spill the beans....how the hell you got hold of this car...and for how much....
I know you said you want to keep the car has standard as possible....but how can a trd be standard...its like a contradiction...
any how....get the rev3 rear lights on and a twin cans exhaust on the rear...and it will look even better....just my 2 pence worth.....
got any interior pics....and engine pics.....
top car.....let me know when you thinking of selling....
cheers carl...........

[Steve Horrocks]

Welcome aboard Gord! Lovely to see another genuine TRD car lurking around & relativley local too, compared to Toni's! lol

Lovely car, now get some engine bay shots & specs up!

[GordR]

Thanks for comments guys..

How did i get hold of it! Pure chance lol! Put my supra up for sale.. few days later iv agreeded a deal on her.... price wise depends what you valued my supra at

I know what you are saying..id consider starting to develop the engine further but make sure all the lil TRD touches stay the same lol.

Yep lights are a good option.. although not sure on how ill get around the reversing lamps..as i just have a blank plate now lol..

Yep im looking at sorting the exhausts.. the the cans dont do a thing for me.. does anyone know of any more jap style cans are available for the MRD kit.. i have looked at universal back boxes but they are all too long lol..only one i can find that may fit is a Rage one but hmm not sure i want to go there!

Ill get the engine and interior minted up and get some pics slapped up..

If you made me the right offer i may consider selling.. pm me if you want lol..

Steve..thanks for the comments... yer have to say theres a lack of even MR2s around me let alone TRDs lol.

Ill get some more pics up soon folks

Ta
Gord

how sure are you this is a genuine trd?

[Antstarr]

Has a TRD plate with a serial? New Era could probabaly confirm this as well I assume.

[michael]

Gord you sly fox! I must have missed the thread on the Supra forum that mentioned this - nicely done!

I'll really have to make the effort to get up there and see you now

[michael]

how sure are you this is a genuine trd?

Probably more sure than you are that it isn't.

[tonigmr2]

It's genuine, see the picture of the TRD serial number in the first few pictures.

Welcome mate, I knew there were two other TRDs in the country, both red!! I have number 8.

We must meet and compare.

[ICEMAN]

I did not know they made the TRD2000 with rev 2 lights. U learn somthing new every day

[tonigmr2]

My understanding is you could convert any revision car via the official channels...

[GordR]

how sure are you this is a genuine trd?

Ermm well as far as im aware the plates a kind of indication its genuine???!!??

michael - lol.. i know it all happened rather quick... some ways i miss the supra but then again i rather like the TRD. Yer you must pop up at some point.. Btw.. are you doing the Lakes District meet on sun.. be good to see ya..ill be heading up from ingleton if you want to meet me.

Toni - yer be great to meet up and compare notes so to speak lol..

[michael]

I'm still not 100% on the lakes run, I might be there, I might not... it's a tricky weekend for me

I'll make the effort to see it at some point though

[Tiamat]

top car.....let me know when you thinking of selling....

thats just so you can wind mick up about yours being genuine whereas his is a replica!

[Antstarr]

So whens this TRD meet happening? Midlands if possible or Herts

Cant wait...might ask some of the other widebodys to come along...

[ICEMAN]

My understanding is you could convert any revision car via the official channels...

So did TRD have revisions for the TRD2000 then? I just thought they all came of the production line together . Sorry for the questions just a bit curious. U know what that did to the cat

[tonigmr2]

No the customer supplied the car - which was then converted. Hence it could've been new off the production line or an older model. *As far as I know*.

T

[GordR]

Yep T is spot on... 35 kits were officially produced for the whole world and most of them were kept for the JDM market.. a few lucky people over there had their cars sent back to TRD for the conversion, all conversion work was done to the customers spec. hence varying engine outputs.

Mine must have been kept under covers before the conversion was done.. as it had done very few miles before the conversion..

Thanks
Gord

[ICEMAN]

Oh cool now i got it. i just thought they made a handful of them and sold them first come first serve

[Driftlimits Performance]

man the genuine TRD looks soooooooooo much better than any replica.

Top marks!
