Cool/Rare parts thread?
- Thread starter RPSil13
- Start date
For the very late production cars Toyota did only offer the GA70 twin turbo in wide body, I need to check but they may haven even scrapped the N/A and narrow body all together near the very end.
But post update there was the choice of either wide or narrow body GA70 and at the same time the MA70 was made only as a wide body

Bubble markers aren't exactly rare, nor are rain guards. Replicated blinker covers are definitely not rare. The real blinker covers are pretty scarce, especially if you're pre '89.
Factory tool kit is still in lots of cars, including mine. (actually that's a lie, it's in the garage)

The TT-R was actually quite common in Japan, so while the seats aren't common here, they're not really rare. You can usually find a set or two on Yahoo Japan at any given time.
Part number on it is for the Turbo A, looks like they modified a Turbo A with the hole, etc. Probably explains why the diameter is exactly the same as the Turbo A.
You're right and wrong.
While the first JZA70 frame number is from April, 1990, the first "production" JZA70 wasn't until August, after MA70 production for Japan halted. It's similar to the first MA70 frame number being way back in February 1985, while production for export started in January 1986, and production for Japan started in February 1986.
While that is somewhat true, there were Pre-89 MA70's that were narrow body as well (I know Lil'Miss has posted pics of a few grey import ones from Japan, EPC agrees). Also I've seen later (91'ish) GA70 narrow bodies with the newer emblems, etc. They're not nearly as common, but they're out there.

To my knowledge only the 1986.5 MA70's were narrow bodies. In 1987 they got the widebody supra. I've got videos of the 86.5 supra. But as for GA70's it seem at least what I can gather from Japanese Owners Club that in 90+ they were all widebody. So I guess we can assume that at some point they had left over narrow body panels that they used. Or perhaps only the 2.0GT and Limited came widebody while the standard 2.0 came narrow body?
When I said in production im just going by when they were produced according to the frame number. As I know at one point you could get all three models.

When the wide body first came out it was only offered on the 3.0GT Limited, the 3.0GT was still narrow body. It was when they did the 89+ facelift that they made all the 7M models wide body.
Not all GAs were widebody from 90+, that was just when the option of a widebody GA was actually made available, it was MUCH later that the narrow body was dropped altogether very close to the end of the cars life.
I can dig out more info if anyone is interested.
Has anyone EVER seen a climate control panel without the AC buttons? I have seen pics of one in the Japanese brochures but never in the flesh, would be a cool novelty piece for those that have deleted AC
Ive seen one i have a pic of it somewhere.
Well on the note of narrow body MA70's. I havent seen that many Pre89 JDM MA70's to begin with so of the majority i have seen only one has ever been a narrow body the rest were widebody. They did happen to be 3.0GT Limited though. I dont think ive seen a 3.0GT Pre89 Supra yet.

A lot of the parts folks are posting aren't exactly rare, in fact some are still available new from the various companies that manufactured them. This goes for stuff I have as well, but let us not forgot the word "cool" in the title.
In other words, this thread could be construed as meaning cool or rare parts, or as it was most likely intended originally, rare parts that qualify as cool.
Narrowbody? Widebody? Whaat??? I never even knew this, pics please? Or links to pics?
the only "widebody" mk3 i know of is tekdeus'

The white is narrow body... There is a thread somewhere that Supragirl posted about all the differences I believe on the Aussie forums...
I know it is whatever I like but I still like to have a second opinion seeing as how I am not 100% on doing it yet...
All export Supras were "widebody" so not many people (especially in the USA) have experience seeing narrowbody cars.

We here have a big button that goes over the AC/Econ buttons and that is fixed in place and doesn't move. Could you find the brochure?HKS_TRD;1589163 said:

huh, that's wild. It'd be sweet to have 'narrowbody' fenders on the front and 'widebody' fenders on the back.
Something to add to the wishlist! *jots down narrow body front quarter panels.*
