I have been searching omline and maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.

I was wondering if anyone knows how many series 1 TRD aurions were built?

Also, are there series 2 (2008)and 3 (2009)?

I know they are ceasing production, so I wanted to know how limited my aurion is.

Hi mate

Only series 1 made it into production. Whether or not they were planning for a series 2, we'll never know.

As of November 2008, only 537 TRD Aurions had been sold in a year and a half. When I went to see a dealer in June 2008, he told me that they were only building them "on demand", i.e. when a customer put an order in for one. Judging from the poor overall sales I think it is safe to assume that less than 600 cars were ever produced.

So yes, you have a very limited edition car there. :lol:

Apparently TRD Aurion conversions have ceased as of March 31st this year.

... so I wanted to know how limited my aurion is.

Unfortunately not 'limited' enough to help it gain value.

Cool, thanks for the info. I have one of the last ones made (kinda) number 498.

There was a SL at the dealers when I was there with number 015 (I think), that was about $6k over my limit.

I have number 038.... so far so good! Out of the 537 Aurions I am curious to find out roughly how many were sold in each state...

once a few get wrapped around a pole then they may get there value increase.

What a nice thing to say....

Here in the states.. Any kind of aurion is looked upon like a Holy Shrine.

originally the SL's only came in silver and black

but this year they changed the colours a bit, a few new ones out (not sure if they ever made any though)

never seen a TRD in any of the new colours or an SL in anything but silver and black

an Inferno 3500S would be nice :)

There is a black Aurion TRD that parks in Chester Hill, usually in the closed down VP station. Is that anyone here?

Guys TRD 0001 was a SL either black or silver i can’t remember now lol and its most likely Toyota TRD still has that vehicle. The most common car is a white 3500S with the dark rims.

The SL can be found in white but there very rare. I'd be very interested in who has the white SL for sale in TAS as we could only ever get hold of the S model. When i was originally looking for an Aurion i was after a TRD SL but once the announcement had being made that production was to cease the cost of them at dealer auctions went nuts and shot up by around 7k! So somewhat crushing that idea :(

i found this pic not long ago not sure whether this is something i stumbled on and shouldn’t of done or if its Photoshop job. arghhh damm Sorry cant find the pic atm, will have to dig it out and post it later :)

I don't think white are that common. Whenever i spot one, it is either RED/BLACK and sometimes SILVER. Have only spotted 2 whites in over 6 months and i drive alot......... Have done over 18K in 6 months :)

BTW you can also search carsales/carsguide ......... no white TRD for sale........... :P

PS: May be i got a white one and i don't want it to be tht common........ lol

I took my old Camry in to Le Mans Toyota in Footscray earlier in the year for some work .. while I was waiting I went into their showroom and had a look around.

They had a TRD , in black I think , badge number somewhere around 300.

I spoke to a young guy that had just stated there ( who was a nice guy by the way) and mentioned to him that they had only built about 300 of them ... that was my impression anyway.

A bit later , one of the older/experienced salesmen came over and we all had a brief chat , the young guy says ... "The TRD was one of THREE made " , the older guy looked at him like he was the village idiot .... LOL ; I guess it was either first day nerves or he hadn't been paying attention.

      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!!! :)
