Tee from China Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Found a 98 Auto TT on eBay and was under the impression that all VVTi autos were Tiptronic yet this one is an ordinary auto plus it has the early four spoke steering wheel rather than the three spokes usually found on late models! And its spoiler less too! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1998-TOYOTA-SUPRA-MK-iv-TWIN-TURBO-AUTO-OUTSTANDING_W0QQitemZ170372726938QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item27ab01809a&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonT Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I thought the Auto gear selecter was different to that on VVTI's which makes me think its not as he doesnt mention it in the ad either but it is a 98:blink: Very nice example though, would be nice to see an engine shot!

Tee from China Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 clean!!!! my facelift had that same steering wheel too! was yours 1996-1997 vintage as in pre vvti? then I think it would be non tip and four spoke wheel. All the late (as in 98+ ) have the three spoke wheel with tip on autos or so I have found Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tee from China Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 is that where the vvti is kept? damn right that's where the little gerbil lives that runs the vvti wheel for him to hump all day and that's why its variable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
