TrevS Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 I was just thinking that I don't see many supras on the roads and hardly ever see the facelift versions. This made me wonder how rare my supra actually is. Does anyone know how many facelift supras were made in gunmetal grey and other colours? I would be even more impressed if anyone had an estimate of how many facelift supras there are in the UK and how many of those are in gunmetal.

sooper-supra Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 it is rare to come across them driving past as normaly when i see a supra on the road it usally is unqiue as it may have a body kit/ wheels but the face lifs are very rare to come across on the roads..

TrevS Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 If someone can tell me the month and year facelift models were introduced I should be able to work out the number of facelift supras that were produced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 some stuff here on the specs tab. http://www.mkiv.co.nz/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevS Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 yeah I was going to use the stats on this site to work out the number of facelift supras made but am not sure what month the facelift was introduced in 1996. If someone knows then we should be able to work out the exact number made. http://mkiv.supras.org.nz/specs.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I calculated using that chart and my chassis number, that there were 2047 Supra's made in Japan after mine (assuming it is accurate of course)....

Faye Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Tis a pretty colour, I'm almost kicking myself for not buying an RSP aerotop when I was looking, it was an Aug 98 - the last month they were made according to the NZ site. Mind you for 5k less I got a Mar 98 aerotop so at least I saved some pennies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 I have a facelift gunmetal grey, but mine is a non-vvti 6 speed, so probabbly even rarer.... Aha, but I can beat that because mine's not only a non-vvti 6sp, but a RZ too, complete with Recaros, uprated ABS and big brakes etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Aha, but I can beat that because mine's not only a non-vvti 6sp, but a RZ too, complete with Recaros, uprated ABS and big brakes etc But is your's gunmetal? And mine is an RZ-S, but it has the better ABS, did have the twin buttoned traction...... ......and it now has cobra seats and Brembos.

Faye Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 NA 6sp do indeed exist, Scooter had a RSP one. Infact I think his mum still has it and no his wasn't a VVTI NA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
