Anyone read the artice in NZPC mag stating the retirement of the TRD altezza?, seems i was correct in my original post about a certain mishap in it during testing.

Seems a waste considering it had nearly an entire catalouge of TRD gear in it.

Yeah, I had it confirmed thru a Toyota source that it was damaged beyond repair, so looks like it wont be seen again.
I'm sure some of the gear will end up somewhere else though.

i was speaking to the guy that did the cage in it, car was crashed during testing and badly damaged, apparently the cage was the only thing holding the car together.

Ya wont find any pics of Car in the state its in now, its all very "hush hush" at Toyota NZ about it. From what fire crew have said it was lucky no one was killed let alone injured.

by **Ard Righ** » Fri Jun 08, 2007 3:31 pm

Damn would have been nice to see that car before it was roasted

Full TRD kit, damn such a shame. Wonder if any parts will go for sale 2nd-hand ? :lol:
