Default TRD Long Beach Edition

Hey Guys,

I dont know it this is true, but some guy told me TRD made about 40 special edition GS400 in 2000.. is this true? Sounds like bull**** because I never heard of this from anyone except this person on line and just was wodering IF he was bullsh*ttin me or what?

Long Beach Edition? Since when does TRD start to do that? You must be joking me.

My guess is what he really means is the LTuned edition (most dealers in CA have them as demo) or Lexus with some TRD parts.

There are lots of idiots fooling people online. I remember back then I talked to a guy online who said he has a M3, oh...how fast it goes, how good it handles and stuffs. It ends up to the fact that he only has a 323 and he pretended to have a M3. I laughed out loud when I saw his car. Stock with no forced induction. Only has a M3 badge and even still use the stock 323 bodykit. Pathetic.

TRD did make some Long Beach Grand Prix (?) editions of the TRD Solara, no GS's though to the best of my knowledge.

I don't think they were very special except that they were #'d individually and had the basic TRD bolt ons.

Just ask Steve about this when he's back from vacation. I'm sure he would know it if there were any TRD Long Beach Edition for GS.

Several guys on my club have TRD Solaras (only 35 made). Basically, they're all the same. They have the TRD Stage 3 gear (body kit, lowered, tsw wheels, exhaust). They're nice to have and to show off that you have one of 35 hehe. I know that Toyota released the TRD LBGP Celicas but those are the only two that I know of (solara and celica).

like Intellexual & Camrytuner said, TRD did make the special edition for Toyota Solora and Celica. I doubt they make anything for the GS. maybe it's just a full package of LTuned which I don't think it's that great.
