Car was sold to a guy in my country

Don't Worry, It's Just Me · 10-07-2009, 03:11 PM

doesn't mean he can't come on here.

eckoman_pdx · 10-09-2009, 02:22 AM

Yes, make him come on here.

I have to ask, do you still have your other MR2? Why did you have to sell this one.

Sorry you had to let her go. I've seen quite a few nice cars get sold to owners who didn't care and didn't take care of them. Hopefully the new owner does.

Still got the Replica TRD,if i sold the rep i would stand to loose around £15k only selling due to moving to a bigger house,by selling TRD1 i got all my money back plus a profit.

Have to say driving it M8,these type of cars gets you noticed after all i am an attention seeking whore lol.

I shed a tear.
I would have loved to buy it, however, you spent more on the leather than I bought my car for.
Thanks a lot for the amazing read.

My pleasure dude,who knows TRD 2 may pop up.

LeePeyton · 10-25-2009, 06:21 AM

TRD 1? wow, where you living bill gates? LOL

ayresyboy · 02-18-2010, 12:04 AM

Hi guys,

Just thought I'd put up a message to say I am the one who bought TRD1, and yes I have been enjoying her immensely, when the snow and rain hasn't been around.

Fortunately, I have been lucky enough to source some original Alumi K wheels and an original TRD steering wheel for her. Not that the Volk and Momo gear on there already are bad, it's just I feel pride and passion in restoring right back to original details. This TRD stuff is uber rare now!!

I also bought some TRD lowering springs to replace the Eibach ones. Probably no difference here, but I just want TRD! lol! And I got some TRD anti roll bars to replace the Cusco ones. TRD all the way!

Both items are again very rare as they are discontinued.

I also got a TRD front tower bar to replace the Cusco one. It is currently getting chromed to match the rear.

I still haven't got my hands on a TRD dual exit exhaust yet though. If anyone can help me out that would be great.

So what's next for her?.......Well I have to refurb the wheels and steering wheel and fit everything I have bought as well as play around with the suspension as it feels just a tad loose.

If I can't find the TRD exhaust I will fit a Blueflame one as the Japspeed is just far too loud!

I will prob play around with the Tom's ECU and maybe get it remapped.

I also intend to dynamat the whole of the interior and set up a decent sound system with 10 inch sub!

Then I think I will be pretty much done!

canadam · 02-18-2010, 12:51 AM

AWESOME. This is the direction I had hoped to see the car go. I'm also TRD freak.... and I do have a nearly new (~500miles) TRD Exhaust, but it's all mine

I looked a long time for TRD Alumi-K's, but I've had trouble finding them anywhere other than Japan. I settled on Tom's C7R's, but would buy Alumi-K's given the chance. Nothing against the build, but, nice find, you have a great starting point to get back into a more correct TRD car. I'm jealous

Glad you enjoyed the read,i had a lot of pleasure restoring her and hope the new owner takes care of her and improves on what i set out to achieve.

PseudoKirby · 03-20-2010, 02:00 PM

GAH I have to ask, WHY BLUE GAUGES, on a red car with red interior accents.

also the calipers would be better in red or black >.> but still better than some colors I have seen, that interior is close to amazing, is there any special kind of leather that was used?

anyway, as many others said, although a bit too enthusiastically, nice work

rhino · 03-20-2010, 03:26 PM

AMAZING thread! just read every single post.. does the new owner have up to date pics?!?!?!?!?!?!
