blythmrk Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Black velvety type headliner and visors here, strange how some are different. I wonder if the early cars are velvety and later cars are vinyl or is it body colour related as mine and tysons are both black but also 95 models so that's no help either. I must admit the velvety lining has a more quality feel. Also do any of have the oem head unit and is it a single din with a blanking plate below or a double din what numer is on the front again Keron told me they vary and was the multi cd changer an option?

I have a standard head unit and the other slot is for the control for the autochanger which is in the boot. Multichanger was an optional extra not all came with it.

ShawnPreece Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I can definitely tell when I'm in a J-Spec Supra or UK Spec. The UK's just feel... more refined, I think. I cant... when im in my UK spec the interior feels very much like im in a j spec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Mine has vinyl too and is black. I always run premium fuel such as vmax because of the cleaning additives present in the fuel but when I have run 95 I never noticed a difference even when stretching it's legs. Seeing Premium fuel in Japan is 95 RON I've never had any guilt issues filling my Supra up with Sainsbury fuel since 1998. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus GTE Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Mine is a 93 black with cream leather. Double din headunit with 6 CD changer in the boot. Radio controls at the top with the CD changer controls at the bottom. My radio is the same as yours Rob, double din and cd changer in the boot. Silver 1995 with black leather. My old mkiii supra had a blue velvety headliner, seems Toyota were into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Not sure if it's all written down in one place? Me thinking from the rear! Led strip brake light not wired in from the factory (some uk legislation at the time) Rear lights have the clear reversing lights between the two red ones Diff cooler present Leather rear seats Heated front seats Headlight beam levelling External temperature toggle on the clock 155mph limiter cat pipe flange pattern diff ABS is different I beleive Steel turbo's 550 injectors EGRV Bonnet scoop and bit underneath Headlight washers Glass headlights Different bulbs in them probably other stuff I've forgotten I'm pretty sure Toyota installed reversing sensors on mine before it was sold, as well.

Big Supes Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) Black leather interior with black leather roof lining. The leather seats are noticeably different in the UK-Specs.

My old mkiii supra had a blue velvety headliner, seems Toyota were into it. I am thinking that up to the end of 94 they were velvety but after that they were vinyl. Yes my 89 Mkiii Turbo also has the velvety head lining. So UK specs are different than EU spec cars or are they just LHD? I have also noticed that some American spec cars have ivory leather too. I must read up on my brochures and official press release pack that contains original slides it may clear a few things up on the options etc. although I always though the auto was a no cost option and the only other was possibly metallic paint.

As far as I know, the euro spec/ uk spec are the same. Stand to be corrected though. I always heard the autobox was an optional "upgrade" and cost extra. Funny to think the less expensive 6 speed getrag would be so much more valuable in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) The UK specs also had a larger fuel tank and didn't have the red button on the autoshift, what was that for i can't remember Edited March 23, 2017 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littler Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 The UK specs also had a larger fuel tank and didn't have the red button on the autoshift, what was that for i can't remember The red button was to release the gear lever when the engine is off etc... from memory?

You have to remember, that the Supra is a GT, not a sports car. When new, the buyers were buying a GT, and the autobox is ideally suited to that. And the Supras auto gearbox was very much the best at the time. The manual gearbox is more involving, and better for tuning, so naturally as these became enthusiast cars people became more concerned with having fun than the cars every day usability.

Burna Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I have a standard head unit and the other slot is for the control for the autochanger which is in the boot. Multichanger was an optional extra not all came with it. Yep mine had the same separate double din. Still got one in the loft Both of my Black 94 UK autos had the Black velvet type headlining 94 here, so must be to do with the year. I cant... when im in my UK spec the interior feels very much like im in a j spec That's because you don't have a UK interior now Shawn lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Think you'll find its more to do with being suitable for Euro long haul driving (autobahn) at higher speeds than the limited JDM models. Same goes for the bonnet scoop and piping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to say a bpu auto feels very much like both Still waiting on your reply on interiors:) Brochure states no cost option on auto box. I found this on here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?134238-Official-UK-Toyota-Supra-Brochure&highlight=brochure Good find! Perhaps I assumed the optional upgrade came with a price. I still think it's the best autobox I've ever used. Even the 6 speed auto in the 535d isn't as enjoyable to use imo. (Might have something to do with nur spec r downshifts though ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
