cropzy 66 Report post Posted July 11, 2017 Picked up my 14' TRD today. I am in love. This car is so fun and you can enjoy it all within legal speeds! I am so glad I bought this. Now I actually see the hype. It's just so responsive and everything feels right. The only downside is my contacts won't sync with bluetooth and the stock speakers are a bit meh. 3 nerdstrike, Lauren and Keethos reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cropzy 66 Report post Posted July 11, 2017 Here is a photo of the car! I am really having fun. Just gotta fit my dash cam and get some mats then I am sorted! 3 Lauren, Kal and Keethos reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Church 209 Report post Posted July 12, 2017 For even more fun i highly advise visit some track in future. Level of spending like that of visiting pub, but imho much more fun to be had :). Even with everything stock these are surprisingly capable. (Just if everything IS really stock, limit to short sessions of ~ 10-15m, to not cook brakes).

nerdstrike 186 Report post Posted July 12, 2017 Congratulations on your purchase! The stock speakers are an embarrassment when you hold them in your hands. If it bugs you there's a trivial upgrade available.ย I've found the Toyota head unit to be a bit pants all round, but it plays tunes well enough and isn't really important outside of long distance cruising.

cropzy 66 Report post Posted July 12, 2017 Thanks guys! I sorted my contacts and Bluetooth works awesome now. I mucked around with some settings and its great now and the speakers will do fine. I definitely would like to track it eventually. Just need to get used to the car first. I don't think I will mod it being a TRD. Just leave it stock and enjoy it. It's more then powerful enough for me anyways! 1 Neal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Church 209 Report post Posted July 12, 2017 "TRD" in this case is mostly some aero elements & different wheels (and maybe catback exhaust? If tips are D shaped or dual in each side, then very probably TRD catback of one of two versions)). Well, maybe also TRD intake and with very little probability TRD's coilovers/pillow ball mounts/TRD brakes (VERY expensive). As for leaving it stock .. i'd still probably get at least camber bolts front and some cheap LCA like SPC/Whiteline/Eibach for rear, and 1) tune more camber front then in back, for a bit less understeer, 2) do alignment in general, as stock ranges imho are a bit too wide with handling being rather different at range extremes, that still would pass. If going to track, i'd add to that minimum a bit more capable brake pads & brake fluid with higher boiling temp, and if there some adjustment range left, add more negative camber all around vs street. Of course, car is trackable 100% stock, but at lesser speeds, with more understeer (to my taste), uneven tire wear (mostly outside) and sooner to overheat brakes.

Some very good points you made there. I will definitely look into it! I presume I can track it stock but I would need to do a few laps and then back for stuff to cool?
