Do you know more of the story than us......


From the story we got thru an insider at toyota they had to be cut out of the car.

I doubt that the actutal Toyota TRD car will ever been seen in parts or complete ever again.

That one could be a good shell for a race car, but I'd say due to the heat at least one of the front shocks would be toast,
but from the pic it lokks like they are (were) remote reservoir shocks too.

Careful what is said about the trd altezza, certian people on toyspeed mite cry and moderate, from whats ive heard is that it was damaged well beyond repair, by members of staff trying there driving skills out, but its all been coverd up nicely so the rumor's will continue, would be better thou if toyota nz jsut came out with what really happend

personally i wouldnt believe much of what rumours say

iv heard:
TNZ wrote it off
manawatu toyota wrote it off
NZPC wrote it off.

and various versions about a complete burn out after hitting a kerb, pole, fence, house and combinations of the above.

the only thing that i know as fact,is its dead and gone. :cry:

I heard it was all a conspiracy, and it is actually still fine, they installed a mind control unit in it so that if you see it or hear it, or are even close to it, it wipes your memory of it's existance, that it has goat stains on the passenger seat, and Revhead drives it to work each day
