Thanks Alex, I will put up proper photo tomorrow It looks wonky due to the angle of the photo, have offical docs at home from TRD Technocraft too. So put that in your pipe and smoke it You dont just start calling other peoples cars fake without some solid evidence, its just not cricket a good day to you sir

Hi Jurgen Sorry got it from Blog http://www.7tune.com/?p=35, posted this as blog with my car http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=147167&highlight=trd3000gt but some of the info in blog is taken off TRD Technocraft Website and the Wiki website also states "Toyota also did the same with their Supra Twin Turbo model, offering a conversion service to transform these cars into a TRD3000GT[2]." http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedysta:Wiewiorpl/brudnopis#SW20_TRD2000GT Maybe the grage means when the car was bought new it was then sent to TRD Technocraft to have kit fitted Just out of curiosity was the white TRD3000GT also a VVTI, maybe this is why TRD VIN is JA80 as opposed to mine http://i1.bebo.com/042a/7/large/2008/04/21/18/20295479a7517776389l.jpg

ohhh! look at me! I'm making people happy. I'm the magicial man from happyland. From a gumdrop house on lollypop laaane! By the way, I am being sarcastic

EVERY Day is a School Day, think Mighuel sold one to a guy in the UK and there is an MR2 for sale in Ireland but with TRD2000GT kit, dont think its official http://www.carzone.ie/used-cars/Toyota/MR2/TRD-2000gt/978574/ SW20 TRD2000GT (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_MR2#SW20_TRD2000GT) In 1998, Toyota Racing Development [2] offered an official kit body conversion and tuning program for MR2 owners to transform their existing SW20 MR2 into a widebody TRD2000GT kit replica car. This was to pay homage to the wins by their TRD2000GTs in the GT-C Japanese racing series, the TRD2000GT racing series cars were based on the SW20 floorpan. Toyota also did the same with their Supra Twin Turbo model, offering a conversion service to transform these cars into a TRD3000GT[3]. In order to ensure exclusivity, a high price tag was charged and total of just 35 factory car conversions were completed by Toyota Technocraft Ltd. Each official Technocraft car converted was made using lightweight fibreglass components (in place of heavy steel original parts: front fenders, trunk lid extension, rear quarter panels, gas door, front and rear bumpers, 3-piece wing) and re-classified as completely new cars (with their own specially numbered TRD vin plate riveted to the body to indicate their authenticity and rarity). The Toyota Technocraft Ltd. TRD2000GT had a 60 mm (2.4 in) wider front and rear track (due to the addition of wider wheels and tires) which improved handling considerably over the original equipment. Virtually every car converted also had other TRD parts fitted too including extensive changes to both the suspension and engine. Most cars left the factory making more power due to TRD bolt-ons, some cars even left the factory boasting up to 500 PS (493 hp/368 kW) and less than 1100 kg (2425 lb) for a very impressive power to weight ratio. While TRD Japan only offered a small number of kits with all body parts required for third-party conversion, Toyota Technocraft Ltd. offered complete car conversions. Only 3 complete Toyota Technocraft Ltd. cars are known to have been shipped into Europe with only 10 complete cars allocated to TRD USA for the entire American market. This makes these officially built Toyota Technocraft Ltd. TRD2000GTs the rarest of all MR2s and ultimately the most sought after and difficult to find. It is unknown how many original Toyota Technocraft Ltd.(non factory replica) cars still exist today, but it is known that a small number of conversion kits were imported from TRD Japan into the US for USDM Conversions. In many respects the extended body can be compared to that of a Porsche Turbo widebody. The car track width is extended and body dimensions dramatically changing the cars overall visuals, giving the car a "supercar" look, and also better handling and weight reduction. Very little is known about these cars outside of Japan.[4]

HISTORY OF TRD 3000GT The TRD 3000GT was first shown at the 1994 Tokyo Auto Salon much to the delight of Toyota fans and tuning car fans in general. The JZA80 Toyota Supra was already well recieved, and for TRD to bring out such extreme parts for it was sensational at the time. The TRD 3000GT body kit extended the guards by 50mm changing much of the entire exterior of the car, leading some people to belive it were a low production vehicle along the lines of RUF Automobile GmbH (Porsche). The JGTC Supra wore the 3000GT aero parts in the final race of the '94 season and showed exceptional speed, which would lead TRD to further hone the aero parts to gain the best performance possible. There are two types of rear wing available, although the 'Type R' wing is no longer produced. Except for the Type R wing, all TRD 3000GT parts are still available according to the TRD website, although the actual stock availabilty isn't known. The TRD 3000GT was never actually sold as a complete car, although cars were sold with the full catalogue installed. For many this was a very expensive option, but it's possible to find JZA80 Supras with various genuine parts installed to make a car which is built according to their budgets. The TRD 3000GT bonnet, for example, is one part which despite costing 210,000 yen was a popular addition amongst Supra owners. A complete TRD 3000GT with the parts installed by Toyota, while not impossible to find, are still one of the most sought after JZA80s. As is typical amongst the Japanese 'Works Tuners' (TRD, Nismo, Mugen, STi, Mazdaspeed, Ralliart etc), the engine of the TRD 3000GT at the time of it's release was left close to standard, but with a full exhaust system and suspension modifications added to give a reasonable upgrade in performance over the already powerful base car. Later, engine packages were available which were released in stages going from mild street performance to 'hard tuned' packages illegal for street use. The original 1994 debut car though was all about properly functioning aerodynamics as opposed to outright speed, with Toyota investing a lot more financially into developing the 3000GT kit than previous attempts, using wind tunnel testing and 3D simulations to gain the best compromise between functionality and appearance. The engine was completely stock at the time of the TRD 3000GTs announcement, but later upgrades were developed for big increases in horsepower. The complete wide body TRD 3000GT kit including front fenders, rear fenders, side skirts and front and rear bumpers weighed in at 971,250 yen(!), with the addition of the aero bonnet (210,000 yen) and the rear wing (140,000 yen) bringing the total package price to 1,321,250 yen… not including installation…

Fiat is my ultimate car so, it is the only car I would sell the Supra for. I have not heard anything better than an F430 and the only car that I think will is a Ferrari 360 CS Stradale, who needs a stereo when you have that sound system behind you

My Mate was in one at the tokyo autosalon and he was a bit disappointed at the plastics used for the interior Tho my other friend had in his uncles Ferrari F430 and it has the same key as my mams cinqunquento

From what I know she was brought back to TRD Technocraft in 2002 and kitted out, I wish I could tell you more but the two binders full of documentation is all in Japanese Not too sure about TRD Vin Plates Ja80 Vin Plate versus JZA80 TRD Vin Plate, from what I read in Blog below has confused me again to what Jurgen is saying (Hole history around TRD3000GT still a mistery, email TRD and nothing on WEB except about the MR2 TRD2000GT which mentions TRD3000GT) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_MR2#SW20_TRD2000GT Car was built by TRD Technocraft so I am happy, same process and quality of materials/ workmanship

Just Face lift Headlight and clear indicators going on soon, carbon fiber gear and Brake boots/ top secret gear lever then she is as I what I want

Thanks

3 core copper radiator (Have to look for manufacturer), Horizontal bars so if you need to flush out it is a bitch to get airlocks out

My bad just assume they where JSpec, as car came from Japan

It was the closest events catchment area this side of Dublin

No they are old Skool JSpec

Dublin

Mine has the Bilstein suspension option that was available installed not too sure about geo, TRD Technocraft set it up but she has different offset alright due to widebody

Got it off Add Performance in Ireland, they are Newera Imports Irish Agent Just waiting on the arrival of Facelift headlights and I have front Clear indicators to go on as well, this will finish her off Trying to get a feature in Japanese Performane Magazine too, its the holy grail of all things jap (Shameless plug but you know you want to, call me)

I will let the pis do the talking but here she is My New TRD3000GT No.26

bump

The Rial Sion are similar http://www.speck-tuning.de/sod_data/basis/rial_neu_2006/rial_sion.jpg

New wheels are nicer, but I am a stickler for deep dish wheels

Sorry they are 245 updated spec, half asleep this morning

Black supra is mine, thats what they are off, she is a TRD3000 GT no.26 but wheels sit in a few mm from the arches so she should be ok for a normal body Supra/Skyline Putting up pics soon of the TRD3000GT just waiting for the sun to make an appearance, and yes it may be a while Just got pics of them on a Skyline just to show how they would look
