I've been looking at a few Japanese TRD sites and I keep seeing the term "Sportivo" on several of their cars. At first I thought the Sportivo was a car in itself. Then I noticed most of their suspension components are labeled "Sportivo" for several different cars. So now I'm wondering exactly what TRD Sportivo is? Anyone know? I couldn't find an answer.

Very nice. Now I'm convinced that anyone with minor fab skills can add that to their 5S or 7A and with the right fuel mods/control - can make nice HP. I'm sure some of you will disagree - but think about it. This is basically a TRD logo'd generic SC - fitment wouldn't be much more difficult than adding an extra alternator with a custom bracket. Hell if you can live without a/c you could probably make an adapter bracket and drop it right in [needs another bracket on the other end obviously]

Joker - much props for a very clean car biggrin.gif

Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.
