lol - and you won't find any, either.

The digital cluster was only released in right hand drive countries - so, Japan, Australia, etc. You can occasionally find one, however, it doesn't bolt into your left hand drive Supra - not even close. It's not the same shape, it doesn't use the same wiring harness, hell, it doesn't even use the same sensors.

There are, as far as I know, two people who have done the work to convert it to LHD. It's a LOT of work, and you'd better be a steady hand with a soldering iron as well as an outstanding fabricator to rebuild the gauge cluster.

Yours doesn't count. It cost more than most folks paid for their CAR. Not counting the fact that it needs how many thousands of $$$ of aftermarket computer to hook up to?!

Umm his AIM?? :)

If he would have kept baller status on gone SDL like the rest of us then perhaps, but he went with the AIM!!

Well, kind of rare, I guess. AFAIK, they only came in some of the "L" models as an option. The "P" models seem to outnumber the "L"s, plus it was an option, so that's only a small number. Well, a lot smaller than the number of Mk2 Supras sold, anyway.

I hade the digital Dash in my 85 Supra which was an L model. Great car. The major issue I had was when the bass hit in the stereo the dash would blink out and not come back. I put in a huge alternator and dual batteries which stopped it though unless I went crazy with a test cd.
