I don't think TRD dealers are interested in selling TRD parts to non-TRD owners. So let us know how you go.

You would think they want your money - especially considering the massive profit margins they would attain at those prices...

They wouldn't be able to justify the money if the exclusivity wasn't there... But their prices are inflated all the time anyways :lol:

Sure they would....its not like they would be selling a million TRD engine bits.

If they limited Joe Blows to the accessory range alone, no performance bits, they still maintain the exclusivity and their performance reputation.

People will buy TRD cars because they go...not because they have the badge. For those that just want the badged products (eg seats)...let them have some - at the exorbitant prices...

I'm with you Mr Laissez Faire, but I think they want to preserve the exclusivity of the TRD range. Slutsky Equation pending..

Hehe - parlez vous francais? Les Economiques sont tres bonnes!

I'd love to meet the Toyota marketing team - such a great production/quality management team, but horrendously conservative marketers...

Sorry for Hijack - anyone else know how best to fit TRD seats into a camry (providing he can actually buy them :P )???

I'm assuming if it's the new shape camry then they should fit fine seeing as the camry and aurion are built on the same chassis. That might help

Good news is :

TRD seats will bolt straight into a Camry - no modifying of rails are required, aurions share the same floor pan as the camry, and virtually 95 % of all parts.

Bad news is :

You won't be able to buy TRD seats from TRD Dealers no matter how much you bribe them, they can't order them in the first place. They can only order TRD parts with TRD Vin numbers. The only way ? Hope for a TRD Aurion to be written off, then buy the seats from the wrecker and bolt into the Camry. While you're at it, you might as well transfer the V6 plus supercharger kit across, the ECU and TCU and suspension - Hey presto, you've got a TRD Camry. Everything will bolt in easy.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
