recoil Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 Hi, I don't own a Supra (but would like to). I've seen a supra for sale at my local breakers yard and I was just wondering whether the interior is supposed to be all leather? The one in the yard is an L reg and the back seats are trimmed in leather and the front are cloth. Pictures of the seats would be cool too. In case you're wondering, the damage is the front passenger side wing and bonnet and small dent on rear. Cheers lads, I'll hopefully soon be a Supra owner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Martin F Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 Nope, cloth interiors on Jap spec cars are not unusual. Are you sure the rears are leather, they could very well be vinyl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradb Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 Rears look leather, but are vinyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recoil Posted November 26, 2002 Author Share Posted November 26, 2002 Yeah, the look like leather but I guess they're vinyl. I'll have another look. Is there some sort of leather test I can do? lol Did the front seats ever get produced in leather or leather look vinyl? I'm just trying to figure out if the front seats have been taken out and replaced by cloth ones. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 Some levels of Jap MKIV had cloth seats in the fronty, leather was an option on most but the top of the range where it was standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recoil Posted November 26, 2002 Author Share Posted November 26, 2002 Also, how much would u expect to pay for mint condition front and rear seats with cloth up front and vinyl at rear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant answer that, as most people go for a leather upgrade if they are changing seats. IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recoil Posted November 26, 2002 Author Share Posted November 26, 2002 K...do many people sell their seats on the site? Or are there any other sites that might? Not bothered weather cloth or leather but cheap would be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Martin F Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 Speak to JIC (http://www.japanese-car-imports.co.uk) they usually have seats around, or can re-cover cloth seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMW Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 When I was looking for a soop I saw quite a few j spec cars with what I presumed were leather rear seats and cloth front. I thought it looked ok but I do prefer the leather all round which I think is standard on a UK model. Having said that it's not the best quality stuff you'll ever see. Anybody had their seats re-covered with different leather? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 I have full leather Recaros on my J-Spec, figure hugging and good quality leather bit tougher than the normal leather you get. There is one part of the chair that really wears out quick and that's the side part of the drivers chair, had this on my old one. It's the bit where your arse rubs on the seat when you slide in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottPawsey Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 The seats cost me 800 for the fronts only which i thought was alot, but it was a really good job and the leather is top notch stuff. I wish i had the rears done as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
