As said already the early model and facelift Supras have different dashes, 3 gauges on the early model and 5 gauges on the facelift. This is one of the best ways to tell the difference, as many of the early Supras have the facelift lights fitted.

sorry about being a pleb here, but seeing as this thread is here....

what do the extra gauges on the facelift dash show?

 

There is only 1 extra guage on the facelift TT which is a boost gauge, it's pretty crap though. The other 2 small gauges are for the fuel and water temp, these are combined into one large gauge on the pre-facelift Supra.

Do not use these differences to determine whether a Supra is early or facelift though as many owners upgrade to facelift headlights and indicators, etc. As said best way is to check the number of gauges on the dash.

 

ps. I have all facelift lights in stock if anyone want to upgrade theirs ;)

Already been covered in the tech discussions area:

The uprated ABS is only on the facelift RZ, not the others I believe, but nobody really knows what exactly was uprated about it!

 

Pete told me something about this a the Blenheim meet Simon. Didn't fully understand everything but it seems the UK has an extra G type sensor and so does the RZ, but the RZ is still mising something the UK has. Why Toyota built so many Supra's with different specs is something I will never understand :rolleyes:
