James Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 The Supra certainly looks good. Not sure about the headunit right enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccssupra Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Never knew some Supra's has Recaro's as an option. And with leather rear seats? Strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Never knew some Supra's has Recaro's as an option. And with leather rear seats? Strange. Aren't the rear seats vinyl or something like that and not leather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supraleeturbo Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 No, but you can run the site through Google Translate. How do you do that sorry for me lack of know how Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st3ven1 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Never knew some Supra's has Recaro's as an option. And with leather rear seats? Strange. The recaros were standard on the late facelift RZ's. How do you do that sorry for me lack of know how If you use Google Chrome browser, it automatically prompts you to translate the page.

Aren't the rear seats vinyl or something like that and not leather The Jspecs had vinyl rear seats, but UKs came with leather rear seats.

j_jza80 Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 The Jspecs had vinyl rear seats, but UKs came with leather rear seats. Upgrade! lol The Uks also had leather door handles/pockets. Not all J-specs have vinyl rear seats, later facelifts had cloth, though I assume all Recaro spec'd cars all had vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at how many E36 M3s have a cloth interior, even though leather was an expensive cost option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
