Here are the upcoming TRD parts for the tC with approx. release dates. Pricing has not been released yet.

Cold Air Intake - February 2011

Exhaust - December 2010

Quickshifter - December 2010

I will post some photos once we get these in and installed.

 

^Do you work for Toyota corporate or dealer?

 

I'm @ Longo Scion. All dates provided were from my contact in charge of accessories @ TMS - Dates are for the US. Unsure of Canadian release dates.

 

We've been parts will be available right away.

 

Many articles state "at time of vehicle release", but that isn't the case. The tooling for all the items took longer than normal since there weren't that many CV builds floating around for actual on-vehicle testing.

 

As soon as you have MSRP, let me know. I've added them to this thread I made a while ago:

Mostly just pulled info from Scion.com - but when you have the pricing for these I'll update it again.

 

I know the Canadian release dates, just curious how you got the information. Who is your contact at TMS? Someone in the TRD division or planning side?

 

Will do. I'll send over part numbers and MSRPs (part only and installed) for reference.

Planning ~ I was inquiring as we're doing a demo build and wanted to get the parts in asap, or send out the car for R&D. I am still debating which color to work on (our 2010 demo was a White xB). I am leaning toward the Cement or Sizzling Crimson.

 

Do Cement. Its WAY better looking then the Sizzling Crimson. And it's very rare.

Is your contact Jimmy?

 

My contact is Chris.

We are leaning toward the Cement, but it's a rare one in our area at the moment (with 6MT), so it may get axed based on availability. We'll see though... waiting for Troy Sumitomo to get back this week.

 

I don't know Chris. Is he in vehicle planning? He's not in accessory planning, unless he's new and my list just isn't updated.

I can see them axing it, but it would be sad if they did. Its a unique colour to the tC and really shows that these cars are odd and have a personality.

 

No LSD?!

 

not yet, there will be one tho
remember how long it took for the first gen to come out with one... be patient

 

Its so hard to wait when you get something that is new. I just got a black 2011 and am bummed at the moment. So new and no new parts to strap on.... ...... patience is a virtue that I lack... I want parts now.....

 

What type of parts are you looking for? Contact some of those companies so they will know there is interest. The economy is still rough, so they won't take gambles, but may push something into development faster if the interest is there.

 

I have already and gotten a couple of replies. Now its just a race between who gets car parts in my family. My wife has a 2011 xB and now I have a 2011 tC. I just know she won't let me fix mine up without fixing hers too. Anyone know where I can get a second job?

 

TRD clutch needed after this...

You have to wait for a good company to make one, so that TRD can buy the rights to it and re-badge it TRD just like they do for all their stuff lol......
