Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Any question on the spec of TRD sports M?

Hello everyone!

I read some posting regarding the sports m. Some info posted weren't accurate. My ride is the limited edition celica TRD spec sports m (1200 units worldwide).

The sports M is basically an enhancement from the J-spec SS2 (GTS) super strut version. In Japan, 4 version of the celica were produced. SS1 (GT), SS2 (GTS), SS2 super strut and the TRD sports m.

Main difference between SS2 and a super strut SS2 is a
1) sports metal pedal
2) Stiffer suspension/damper
3) LSD
4) bigger turning radius and heavier weight.
Power 190bhp

The sports M is build on top of the Super Strut

1) TRD tuned ECU (more aggressive fuel map)
2) Reinforced chasis (spot welded on the A frame and rear frame)
3) Full TRD suspension ( coile, damper, front sway bar )
4) Rear 2 point mounted strut bar
5) TRD Sports meter
6) TRD short shifter
7) TRD cat back exhaust
8) TRD steering wheel.
9) Unique TRD body kit

Power 200bhp

Any question? Feel free to ask.

awsome...post pics

this is my ride

can you buy the TRD tuned ECU??? I'm sure thats street legal unlike the Power FC.

yea i wanna know more and see more of the interior...

We all know the hp wat about the torque? Has it changed any?

No one can buy the TRD tuned ECU. Sorry dude!

Both Torque and hp is raised. I should have a dyno chart lying some where... if I found it I will post it up.

Sports M catalog indicate a torque figure of 188N/M

Comparing to a stock GTS, the sports M pulls better on the top end RPM range. And for some reason the third gear of the sports m is much powerful than that of a GTS.

god damn, that's awesome!

i saw pics of the door sills...there awesome...u think if i tried to get some, i can find them or someone else???

seee...i like that its blue with celica written on it...

damn!

That wing is slick!

hey I got that same exact car and color in Gran Turismo 3! thats one awesome ride! I love the seats...is there any way I can get them here in the states?

aren't those the same pedals as the GTS and what's the deal with the screen that's in place of the box on the top of the center dash.

im using the interior pic for my wallpaper now!!
omg that car is awsome!

I have a white one in GT3


I don't think you can get those seats anywhere other than Japan.

That's the sat navigation module. I did not op for that.

I can sell you brand new @ US120 for a pair. But its red instead of blue. if you are interested email me matthewloh@celicasg.com

Since you are so in love with this car ... I just created this page for you. Full resolution.

Warning big pics ...

Damn, I am so jealous!

mine are like that on my GT

NICE ASS RIDE

i like it a lot

What am I missing? Those seats are the same as mine. They're like that on all T Sport models only instead of cheapy looking material they're leather. All the blue touches are exactly how Ford ruined the interior of the RS Focus. Personally I don't like it, and why most people criticised Ford for the interior.

Nice color blue though, its unique, but I still prefer the dark blue of my car. Prefer my standard wheels too.

Note: these are just my opinions. Please don't hate on me for expressing them

SweeTTTT, can you post more pics of ur car and ur car's interior???

yea man your car is too damn sexy

your car is sick man!! just one question...how come you don't have the sport M headlights??

AWSOME, there is nothing else you can say!

TIGHT!! wanna trade wings? lets see some more pics of ur car

The wing is standard too.

I like that built in TV though. Makes up for the ugly steering wheel. How much is the sports M out of interest?

If anyone wants one, look here

Its even been Blitz Supercharged. 201whp. 14,995.

Think I'll be giving it a miss.

Hi, ive recently bought a jdm 190 celica, and after getting it i noticed a rear strut brace. Does that nescessarily mean sports m or was that an option on all cars?

Hey, welcome.

The rear strut brace does not necessarily indicate it is a Sports M model. There are quite a few other differences and I imagine it would be clear if it was in fact a Sports M model. The Sports M model would also have a special badge.

The rear strut brace was an option and is still available at some places online.

Hope that helps.

I know I am asking this 2 decades later: What is the top speed?
That one question has been nagging my mind about the Celica TRD Sports M made for JDM. Looking at the Speedo:
240kph, and I and confused.
1. Does it actually go the top speed 240 or is it speed-limited to 180kph by Japanese laws?
2. If speed-limited, has anyone got a "quick-fix"?

Kindly tell me what's the top speed u tried out without hitting the speed limiter, if any
180? 190? 220? 240?

Governed to 142mph or 135mph for the GTS, IIRC
