Just looked on Lenko's site. here's what he's got:

Quote:

The TRD Toyota Cavalier

Some 100 Toyota Cavaliers were modified by TRD Technocraft after arrival in Japan. They featured an 11-piece body kit:

Only available in 97 and 98 years. 50 per year.

Hate to break it to you guys, but the 50 actual TRD Toyota Cavaliers were all built in the great USA...in Ohio I believe. They were then exported overseas.

Source: Wikipedia

Toyota Cavalier
1996 Toyota Cavalier coupé (Japanese export model with amber rear turn signals)

As part of a wider effort to avoid additional restrictions on exports to the US, the third generation model was briefly sold in Japan by Toyota under an agreement with GM, badged as the Toyota Cavalier. Aside from the fact that it was right hand drive, the Toyota Cavalier also featured a leather-wrapped shift knob and steering wheel, wider front fenders, amber turn signals for Japanese regulations, power folding side mirrors, side turn signal repeater lights on the front fenders, and carpeting on the inside of the trunk lid. Interior seats were often flecked with color, and the rear seat had a fold-down armrest. The Toyota Cavalier was entirely produced by GM in the USA and sold from 1995 - 2000. 1996-2000 Toyota Cavaliers came equipped with the 2.4L LD9 engine, while the 1995 used the 2.3 liter quad 4.

While all Chevrolet-badged Cavaliers received a facelift for 2000, the Toyota did as well with the updated center console, head-lights/hood/front bumper, tail-lights, and colors available.

A fair number of these vehicles are re-exported as Japanese used cars, most notably to New Zealand. Production of the Toyota Cavalier ceased in June 2000.

TRD made a body kit and rear wing for the Cavalier, available exclusively in Japan.

Hate to break what? You just repeated what had already been said...?


I wrote most of that info, which someone reposted onto Wikipedia from sources here. As you can see, there are still errors. There was no 2.3L Quad 4, as there was no 1995 model year Toyota Cavalier.

Yes, all Toyota Cavaliers were built in Lordstown, Ohio.. including all the regular 'Toyota Cavalier exclusive' parts. But the TRD body kit and wing was made by TRD Technocraft in Japan, and was never available in North America.

Hated one. I remember seeing engine bay pics of the white/blue car and the brake master cylinder was still on the left side and you said that you just moved the steering. Did you ever do the full conversion? If not you inly have 1 1/2 RHD cavs

i plan on converting my cavi to a toyota cavalier and does anyone know if theres anyway to get the TRD bodykit nowadays i heard that the molds were destroyed but a few companys remade some and if anyone knows where i could get the other parts could ya let me know im in canada but will probably have to get the parts elsewhere THANKS


Re: so... TRD toyota cavalier whats up with that

I would say first get the wing from Alias. He is selling one, that is probably the hardest part of the TRD body kit to get. To get a true TRD body kit is difficult. I obtained one but I'm using that one on my car, so your best option is getting the one from Gravana. Maybe some one in the org is selling a copy check the classifieds. The eye lids may be obtained from Steve if you look up on the thread he posted under the Hated one. good luck on your build.

Re: so... TRD toyota cavalier whats up with that

Couldve swore Gravana made a copy of the kit
