was just browsing the TRD site and realized there were parts for every toyota but the toyota soarer aka the SC. why would toyota discriminate against the SC?
we love aftermarket too

Every 'SC300/SC400' in the USA is a Lexus.
You cannot order Toyota parts from a typical Lexus dealer, and you cannot order Lexus parts from a typical Toyota dealer in the USA. I'm sure someone will come on here and say they have, but TECHNICALLY Lexus has a completely different parts catalog.
TRD USA means Toyota Racing Development, not Lexus Racing Development- Which is why they do not carry Lexus SC parts.
TRD JAPAN does carry jzz30 Toyota Soarer parts, because it's a Toyota there. Here is the link:

(You have to do a parts search to get anything to come up, such as twin plate clutch, or mechanical LSD for Soarer btw)

well actually trd in the u.s. was a separate company til i think it was 89 .i use to customize 71 -72 celicas way back then.
But yes i do go to toyota to get my Lexus parts partly because i get better pricing but mostly because i know the parts guys and gals and yes lexus and toyota are in the same parts database now .
i actually still have a original trd binder with part numbers .

Yeh the Soarers share the same chassis with the Supra, but not EVERYTHING is the same so it'd be hard to tell what's what without part numbers?
