Considering the only piece of toms/trd equipment I own is the Tom's wheels on my AW11 I will have to vote for Tom's

Go for TRD... As it is genuine toyota performance parts. It may cost you more but i believe the quality is better. I had TRD brakes, clutch, suspension in my ST185 GT-FOUR and everything ran superbly.

TRD is all good but equally so is TOMS.

My wagon has TRD adjustables, flywheel,clutch bloddy love it. :D

But my old 101 Trueno had TOMS cams, clutch, flywheel, pistons, and suspension. That was a bundle of joy some RS's, GSR's ST185 GT4's can atest to :twisted:

So I guess I'm abit in between. :?

Here's the websites for TRD & TOMS

TRD website: www.toyota-trd.com

TOMS - www.tomsracing.co.jp

Also there are some Toyota dealers in Auckland that deal TRD. - Needle in haystack tho :)

i think that mclennan performance centre sells TRD stuff i think?

Has the stickers and belt shoulder pads anyway, were a bit cheaper than sollit trading too! And the guys in there were actually good to talk to, didnt have to wait 1/2 an hour for some one to answer my questions,

Also i enquired about some bodykits for my car and the guy said he would call me during the week and he actually did - The first place to actually call me when they said they would!!!

Ps. its at the south end of willis st parelell to victoria if u dont know where it is!
