So friday is April 1st........everyone is saying that the TRD Supercharger will be delayed, anyone out there have any hope for an APR 1st release??

 

I'm hoping but I seriously dought it will come out. I'm not getting worked up about it.

 

I'm going to my dealership and demanding it on April 1st because I heard on the internet it was coming out then. I bet they will get me one. HEHE J/K

 

just got the new 2005 accessory guide. TRD SC is listed and shown. talked to my parts guy, who talked to TRD. late April, early May arrival.

 

Please let this be true.

 

<sings> A dream is a wish...your heart makes...when you're fast asleep...

Like watching paint dry, it won't do to continously tappity tap tap those bunny slippers you're all undoubtedly wearing.

It will arrive when it does, not before.

 

Keep praying but its not coming. If you would of search for threads you would of seen the VP of toyota saying thats its not coming till late fall.

 

YOu are correct from what I have heard. My Regional guy said fall at the earliest.

 

I am praying you are correct........

 

Maybe they'll pull an Apple and have it out Apr. 1st despite everything they say.

 

actually....the APR 1 release date was nothing more than a big April Fools joke.........






I have no idea what i'm talking about....hehe

 

end of this year /thread

 

I dont know why you guys get so excited about a damn supercharger when clearly my turbo tc will smoke all of you future SC'ed men and kids all day every day. Muahahahahahaha Ever since I got my full exhaust kit made with the Apexi N1 Muffler and 2 1/2 inch piping my car has gotten more and more threatening LMAO nah im just messing with you guys definitely get forced induction it is soo much fun and people never see it coming.

 

what does it run in the 1/4?

 

sure, turbo kit's are fast as hell, and available now, but you are missing the point of why people want the TRD s/c... a turbo kit voids the factory warranty, and if you are running more than about 6-8 lbs of boost, you're sacrificing the integrity of the engine for all that HP gain. The s/c doesn't. do any of the above; it provides significant hp gain, without risk of voiding warranty, or integrity of the engine.

If I wanted a ***** out car, I would have bought an sti, not a tc, that I had to spend $4000 on to make it *almost* as fast as an sti, and still only have 2wd.

 

I would estimate low 15's

 

well then hopefully they'll have been able to squeeze out more than 40 measly ponies for us by then... people are going to be flaming if they don't.. but eh, that's life I guess.

 

It's gotten to the point where I don't really even get worked up about it anymore. I feel like Toyota has jerked a lot of people around marketing the item as "available now", plus no clear pricing on it, and no clear specs on it. If toyota is going to play that game, I'm not going to be spending my disposable income on their parts, unless it's really worth my time.

The waiting game, plus measly horsepower gain (anything less than 50), plus ~$3000, means I will be looking at other options. I guess we'll see what happens in the fall.

 

Cost $2600 - HP 40-50 - Available Fall 05

 

Just curious where did you get the new accessory guide?
