Jim_1979 Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 yeah.... I was suprised to see my Supra didn't have folding mirrors... think I'd rather have heated ones though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markrzs Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Surely it can't be that hard to have both ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_1979 Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 I'm sure it's dooable... just probably too much hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitz supra Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 You either get Folding (Jap) or heated (UK) As far as i'm aware .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 With the folding ones you can make them fold in on motorways which not only makes you go faster but helps with mpg too. S'true, honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I'm J-spec and mine don't fold! Not sure if they heat either, they look nice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitz supra Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I'm J-spec and mine don't fold! Not sure if they heat either, they look nice though. I'd check the fuse, i "thought" all Jap ones folded in but I maybe mistaken, Usually one packs up not both (hence my left one doesn't fold) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some have the button operated fold in mirrors others have the heated option but all of them fold some just do so manually (by hand ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitz supra Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Yep they all fold, just thought we were talkng just about elec option of either heated or elec fold, Must get my n/s fixed though as you always worry about them at shows and meets etc if they get wacked as they are £££££££ to replace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 You either get Folding (Jap) or heated (UK) As far as i'm aware .. Sorry wrong. The GZ's had folding mirrors my aerotop and several other GZ's I've seen did anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitz supra Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Sorry wrong. The GZ's had folding mirrors my aerotop and several other GZ's I've seen did anyways. Cheers that interesting, You usually find though Jap spec (imports) not just Supras.. don't usually have elec heated option or very rarely do, but that is dependent on which territory it comes from though, you find this with Lucidas etc Northern territory cars have different spec to others, cool boxes etc etc but most cars come with folding mirrors, perhaps this could be something to do with the parking issues they have out there, Same as Auto cars normally come with a beeper, having not owned a Auto Supra do they have a reverse beeper? the FTO had one which was damn annoying.

YUP but you can get rid of that annoying beep by taking the bulb out of reverse light indicator in the speedo cluster I think all SZ's had heated non-folding mirrors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supradoopa Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 When i got my supe I was like hmmm folding mirrors must press button, watched them fold in then pressed button again watched them fold out. Then after numerous hours of button pressing (homer simpson stylee) I moved onto actually driving the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL!!! Suppose the Japs love to spec up at new as much as us, Mine are elec folding (well the o/s at the moment) LOL!! but no heaters, Had this with the FTO you find with those cars no two models are the same as the buyers had loads of extras put on at new, I left the beeper in the FTO as it was "a bit of Jap quirkiness" and if you left it in Reverse long enough it sounds like a dying sheep!!
