Goddamn, I should have registered my Skyline as a TRD one and got a couple of stickers. That would have been awesome, resale ftw.

I have a friend in Japan who has talked about his neighbour who owns some kind of "TRD Mark2" with a 2ltr Super Charge I6... 1G-GZE...

As for the Curren.... probably someone's told the owner its a TRD and hes a little mis-lead rather than claiming something that its not...

i had a custy once who was sure he had a 20v 3SFE curren, i went out for a look and he pointed out the 2.0 sticker on the rocker cover...........................................

in our trade we get a good laugh a day at a custy's expense

Are there any TOM's T111 levins in NZ? Could be confused with one of them.

Ok here is pics of what i think is my genuine trd curren, but as said befor who knows what happend in japan when they rolled off the production line.

sorry about the pics the digital camera and the computer are going through a rough patch in their relation ship so i had to use my phone.

by **Silent Knight** » Fri Jan 12, 2007 8:39 am

^^^ That stuff was all just stuck on after the car was made.

I can go and do that now with my Soarer and sell it as a 'TRD JZZ30'... just need to buy steering wheel/gear nob/some stickers and I'm away laughing!!

wouldnt have a clue, but quite possible.

yeah, im afraid that curran just looks like its had a few stick on bits, just like all the other "TRD" models iv seen at car yards..... a sticker, a knob (or 2 :wink:

) and they call it a TRD model

by **Distrb** » Fri Jan 12, 2007 8:54 am

I remember Mmm, Boost's old sw20 had on the rego '19xx Toyota MR2 TRD'

:lol:

Yeah, the guy who registered it thought the Bomex front skirt was a TRD one, so reigstered it as such :lol:

rolf

had a 15 minute discussion about how trd dont do a factory trd mr2. he took me outside and showed me his cool metal badges (that someone had stuck on there) and how it was definately a trd one!

then after being shamed out by another toyota enthusiast that cam along to join the discussion... he started ranting about his mates factory v6 twin turbo mr2.

this guy obviously was into punishment i laughed so hard i had to walk back inside and sit down

Well it probably wasn't one of these but how wicked awesome would this be

TRD Factory MR2, yes they do exist...

There is a standard production version of the Curren known as the sports selection or TRD Sports.

It is basically a trim upgrade and was only available on the top ZS model, additions included:

-TRD Gear Shifter
-TRD Steering Wheel
-TRD rear wing
-TRD Badging

It weighs in at 1180kg (vs 1170 for the standard ZS), or 1210 for the auto version (vs 1200 for auto ZS).

It also has a larger turning radius 5.5 vs 5.2 which suggests it probably had super strut suspension as standard.

Standard ZS Curren model codes:

ST206 DCMVF
ST206 DCPVF (auto)

TRD sports model codes:

ST206 VPMVDA
ST206 VPPVDA (auto)

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motor ... 390025.htm

so yeah they do exist, but the difference is only cosmetic stuff nothing to really rave on about

Pelo: Dammit, you beat me to it

And first giveaway that this is BS:

the engine itself is the TRD model of the 3SGE bored out to 2.2L

Yea right, I'd like to see what happens to a 3S when its had enough bored out of it to accomodate an additional 200cc!

Second giveaway:

cars is as quick as it is pretty.

I need not say anything.
