Quote from: minimikeDoes anyone know what the square badge on the rear is meant to be? It kind of looks like Sydney Opera House to me  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

I think the square badge denotes that it is one of the TF300.  No doubt someone will say if I'm wrong   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

I thought it was a christmas tree that had fallen over, or a wave.
Did they have this badge in the UK only ?
Do you think some guy from Toyota GB thought it up or TTE in Germany, or is at Jap designed badge ?

As far as I know its a UK only thing the last 300 imported.

The tf300 were just Uk only and the cars arrived on the shores in standard trim and then converted to tf300 spec. I recon Toyota GB designed the badge, I'm also unsure what the symbol is meant to be I think it looked like a wave

It was just a marketing exercise.
I suppose you are guaranteed the latest piston design and all the extra bracing.
Oh and nicer seats.
But you do get the goal post style bar which I'm not keen on.

The seats aren't that great and don't wear very well, much prefer the later leather, I think they should of fitted the tf300 with every tte extra and made a real special final edition

Body kit turbo the lot.
But not the wheels.
Please god not the wheels.

Ok, creative if a bit pretentious marketing.

Looked at one in Valencia. Was imported from the UK and impossible to sell because of RHD. Don´t remember the number; was metallic dark blue.
The style bar did look good though. Same thing the exhaust; style & sound only but it sure did look & sound better than stock and the combo with the style bar was imo spot on.

Did the TF300 have LSD?

All UK cars have LSD.
The TTE style bar is without a doubt the worst looking of those offered for mr2.
Like a set of goal posts.
Frenzy, David's, Netz all better by far.

The tte style bar isn't the worst but the best would be frenzy.

In your opinion.

I like it.

It´s looks only anyway* and there is no discussing taste: Some prefer the mother, some the daughter and a few´d like both.

* will open a seperate thread about that

The style bar is very in keeping with the disabled toilet door grabs (Ginny Buckley's review), I think they go quite well with the design of the car. Divisive certainly.

As for the TF300 needing more options to be special I agree. Should've thrown the options book at it.

The German equivalent and objectively rarer runout series was limited to 100 units.
These DID receive TTE grandprix wheels, TTE suspension and looks like exhaust, style Bar a numbered plaque. Better attempt at it than the GB models but still no turbo.
Shame.

The only critisism I have is that they may give a false sense of security:

As much use as a chocolate tea pot.

Hi . I've got 217

TF182 Sable grey is crashed, and it is currently on junkyard in Poland, near Tarnów,
I bought seats and exhaust from it.

That's sad, another one gone

What was it doing there?
Who in Poland would want a RHD?

Most parts are interchangable, doors, engine, gearbox, bumpers, etc

Because RHD cars are very cheap(especialy crashed ones), some people are buying crashed cars in UK, and selling parts in Poland.
