^ interior panels are apparently the very last thing on the list and unlikely to happen.

in fact, they are struggling to figure out a way to reproduce a lot of things without asinine pricetags. some suppliers and in-house items still have equipment available for A80 parts, but A70 is even older and as such is even more difficult despite the fact that 4x more cars were produced.

sidenote: I was having a having a good laugh about the people requesting Getrag parts though, and not just because of the history between them and TMC, but because Getrag has been bought out by Magna and is now a completely different entity known as Magna PT. Might as well be out of business for all intents and purposes...


A70, is there any chance that Toyota might try some new on-demand body panel reproduction techniques like what Nissan is experimenting with for its own Heritage Parts program?

English subtitles are available for the video below.

Not that i'm aware of unfortunately, but that technology is amazing.

They still have the original molds, so it's cool they decided to do that. That price is also expected lol

Wow they are actually going to make both spoilers? I know the Type R (TYPE-R 76871-JA810)
was not a favorite...

I wish they made it in CF and no FPF.

Just like in that image, the Japanese liked that wing.

You know... this TRD wing is definitely period 90's and probably wouldn't be my first choice but it's definitely not a generic metal boy racer wing. The MKIV already looks so good in stock form it makes styling changes like these very subjective. Still, apparently it was an official TRD kit and it looks decent so I'm glad to see it being reproduced.
