ATTN: Pluto (or anyone else that wants to check out a couple of TRD Japan parts)

[David Draper]

Well, here are a couple of parts that came in (along with a couple of sets of TRD Sportivo sway bar sets).

Pluto, this is your gauge cluster!

I was supposed to get two oil coolers, but I only got one. These will be especially helpful for the guys running turbos in the next few months. :)

At any rate, they're finally here! I'm happy :)

In what way are the JDM headlights different? :confused:

Headlights are U.S. I just use them to display our M-TEC bulbs.

Still need to finish display.

I'm lazy :rolleyes:

[00CericaRuss]

does that mean that the doorsills came in?

[eLiteMotion]

would the door sills or trd gas lids happen to be in that shipment? =)

[ProToolsKid]

David you are the man how much for the Oil Cooler?

[shyvpboi]

hey david, whut does the oil cooler do and would it help any if we put it on our celica w/o turbo? And how much will you sell them for?

[gt2000quebec]

is it just me or???? it seems to me it's written TR8 on the tach not TRD ?????

[GTS LAID]

The oil cooler is very similar to its less viscous distant cousin... the water cooler... its a place where people hang around and talk about good 'kills' the night before when they raced the pimped out tricycle.... I dont think you should get the oil cooler... cause it doesnt help you become cool.... its only there to facilitate the cooling if you're already a cool dude....

other than that carlos can take over from here and tell us all what it really does.... take it away infoport

HAAHAHAHA man that was harsh...on the words of the wise man Amjed
Teh Oil Kewler:
cools the oil to your engine... only good when you're under heavy stress though... and only in very high revving engines... the GT-S barely qualifies.. more like type R and **** like that.. as the temperature of the oil increases ... the thermal expansion constant plays a bigger role.. making the cylinders more susceptible to warping and bending..

are my godayum sills gonna be here next week? its only been 3 months dave.. haha ;)

[XeroDgrees]

Yea, whats up with the door sills? I'd like to know what the hold up is, if you already got those in.

[pj808]

and only in very high revving engines... the GT-S barely qualifies.. more like type R and **** like that..
Does a Corolla GTS qualify? It came with an oil cooler stock. And it topped out at 7k or so. What about HD trucks? They don't have high rpm engines...but they do have oil coolers. You should say any vehicle that has the potential to be used in a high load situation on the engine would benefit from an oil cooler. I'd be more worried about the oil breaking down and not lubricating rather than thermal expansion. A consistent oil and water temperature is the best thing an engine can have.

Hey! It's only been like 2 months and 2 weeks! :D

Actually, we started accepting orders about the 7th or 8th of September; great timing ,huh?

Things started getting really haywire after that, and once the shipment got underway, (in the slowest manner possible with the exceptions of swimming or using a circa 17th century pirate ship), the ship was getting stopped forEVER at every port, which included four different countries.

Gotta work on delivery methods next time :rolleyes:

GT2000Quebec: As for the TR8 thing, you're correct (well sort of). The TR8 sticker is actually on the glass. The glass is just so perfectly clean you can't see it :)

[gt2000quebec]

oh yeah!!! i'm not a dumbass lol!!!!!!! :D

[Toaster]

Dave,

What are M-Tec bulbs and how are they different from our stock bulbs?

[skamikaze]

M-TEC is jus another japanese accessory company. they make bulbs and other stuff. theyre supposed to be pretty good, but i dont really know much about em.

[Double Z]

Hey Dave,
Any news on the door sills, I thought they were supposed to come in today? My lease runs out in 2004 so I'm starting to get worried, lol. :rolleyes:
