Im so confused...i never specified the color of the Monster Energy Drink......0_o

Maybe i shoulda just given you guys NOS energy drink, mighta been easier eh? :)



Oh, also, i was theenkeeng, just to like, maybe "catch TRD's attention" (aka get them irritated) everyone on the forum should send an e-mail to TRD at the same time on the same day, flood their inbox. That would be funny XD (maybe we'd pull there servers offline if we got enough people doing it too? XD)

Ya, wasn't quite thinking about that one too much. I've been working on a Supra I'm getting so much this week that I've been focusing only on TT and all that good stuff like engine swaps. Silly me :)

oh u want "not thinking"? get this...

my friend won a beat-up KIA at a police auction, thing doesnt even have brake pads, still uses the original drums that the thing came with (yes original), flipping old KIA, puny car.....and he "tries" to "drift" it.

Rofflecakes. Fun times.




And its a really old KIA, too. we call it the mini deathmobile. Seriously, its a scary experience, taking a ride in that thing.

Considering that they've move on from the 3.3 to the 3.5 (making a fixed market), and that rumor has it the TRD is pretty much a "was", I think you're barking up the wrong tree. search around and you'll find many discussions on the topic. It boils down to a custom job. And thus far the Gen2 tuner market hasn't turned the heads of a lot of shops.

Maybe, if we egg their factory spelling the phrase "SG NEEDS YOU" then maybe they would finally listen to us :wink: . Or maybe threaten to blow up their business with flames and hate mail from magazine clippings, that always works too :)

I think the only "serious" possibility we might have is if someone does a custom job with an Eaton S/C and decides to manufacture the parts to sell.

TRD is out. Period.

it really sucks. it's been 2 years since gen 2 was out and nothing came out, no performance parts. we have cp-e but that's about it. even cpe guys cry that can't sell enough modules.

Gen 2 is a beautiful car, deserves more attention.
