...Hmm, I'm a sceptic as well. But just remember if you're selling a car, it's worth what someone will pay for it -not what it's worth! Hmm no 1 TRD and it's not in a museum in Japan....I'll bet my favourite pair of dogging mittens that it's not a genuine TRD.
*the deal* then It sure has been stripped off of TRD accesories.
At the end of the day, TRD 1 or TRD 35 it is unlikely ANY are in a museum. Private individuals paid for the conversion, much like the Z Tune R34GTR - the cars were already in circulation after all. People buy and sell cars immediately all the time, they just change their mind. I've done it more than once. 
never know, whoever ends up getting it may join the forum and share any discoveries they make.Tiny wrote:I am not sure there are alot of things sticking out of place why would anyone DEVALUE the car by removing things like the TRD rear xbrace and tower bar for a cusco one?
- I was going to make this point but CBA at the time...but the genuine TRD that I've seen had a much less 'FAAAAAAAAAKE' feeling to it.

Yup
Fair enough they were all built to bespoke specifications.
I'd like to think it is a genuine TRD.
They do not, for one, come with all the TRD gubbins. That means some don't have strut braces, ARBs, even bushes. They were just kitted to the owners specification is all. So the fact there are cusco items on there means nothing. I thought the TRD would be a complete package kit per se.The body lines and fit of the TRD kit In the photos do look good and do doubt this side of It would be easy to do to a high standard. Suppose the new owner could kit out the rest of the missing TRD kit.Be really good to hear from the new owner now.
