Description
Celica 7th Generation TRD Sports M
I am selling my 2001 TRD Celica imported into the UK from Japan by Newera Imports and owned by me since then.
This highly sought after version features a lightened and reinforced chassis as well as a range of TRD engine, chassis and styling changes unique to this model. One of only 1200 and only a handful have been imported to the UK by Newera Imports. So, this is a rare car and may increase in value over time.
Hand built TRD engine features TRD light weight pistons and high lift cams with higher compression. TRD manifold and version S TRD exhaust. The power of the engine is 210 hp and is known to be highly reliable and responsive revving freely up to 8200rpm! The 6-speed close ratio gearbox and light wheel flywheel allows high rpm to be maintained. The TRD helical clutch and uprated organic clutch eliminates wheel spin and no torque steer.
It is highly regarded for the pin sharp and agile handling. It has the Superstrut suspension from the ST205 GT-four model and is used with Special TRD sportivo dampers and springs. Uprated TRD antiroll bar front and rear and uprated TRD bushes complete the setup. The full suspension system has been refurbished at high cost with yes damper cartridges, seals and bushes throughout.
The TRD sports M has a unique body kit with valance, side skirts and adjustable angle rear carbon wing finished with the TRD Sports M decals. Comes with standard headlights. The buyer will also have the option of buying the very rare TRD HID headlights at a special price. NOTE. These are not fitted and are not included in the price.
Other features of this car are the slotted discs and buddy club P1 alloy wheels with spacers providing a wider stance and track to fine tune the handling further.
Has been well maintained with regular oil changes and serviced by Toyota and performance car specialists. Water pump is slightly noisy but otherwise nothing of note from careful inspection by Celica expert. Very good condition for the age and very nice example of this very rare model. Priced accordingly.
The TRD sports M has an MOT until the 11th August 2025 and has done 234,652 km.
