    Yup--it was the original buyer that bought into into it--I just took advantage of his stupidity (and willingness to eat the depreciation) when I bought it used in October of 2016...

    I see your point on "Toyota racing". Here is more history on TRD.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Racing_Development

    By the way, in Japan they refer to TRD as Technocraft. I don't think I want that sticker on the back of my Tacoma.

    We (SWMBO and I) have not bought a new car in over 30 years; quickest way there is to lose thousands--just as soon as your plate goes on it.

    In fact very near the top of my "things NOT to do if I get another go-round" list is "buy a new car"...

    Brothers Nismo on the dyno after having a Fast Intentions twin turbo installed. At 6lbs boost just over 500hp at the rear wheels, not the crank. The system looked like a work of art in itself.

    Actually what happens is the manufacture spends dollars and time testing ideas and engineering in the racing segment. Toyota Racing Development is a result of that money and time spent. Richard Petty's Dad, Lee Petty started it all with a rear view mirror if I remember it correctly.

    Hey now. Don't tick me off. You wouldn't like me when I'm righteously indignant! :mad:

    I've been on TW long enough that i know you know that I only got a Pro because it had leather seats and NO sunroof.

    First thing I bought was new suspension.
    Your 5100's are a definite improvement over the OR stuff!
    Good thoughts and points brother !
