Side Trims

The MA70's are considered "widebody" only because there was a narrow-body version of the MKIII not sold in the US that was labeled "GA70", It was the economy version, and came with a little () twin turbo engine, the "1G-GTE".

And for the USDM 89+ tails, you have to get the tails, and the whole center section, including the moulding at the bottom, which can't easily be removed.

Hope i helped a little .

kai, the usdm lights will be the same as the jdm set i have to fit. though i think ill have to drill like 1 hole for the boot lock as its in a different place to uk spec.

You will also need to get a chassis code for an import model so as to get the boot release lever and cable from toyota (iirc its about £50) or go find something similar at a scrappy.

i did buy a release cable and lever from an american member of the uk site but the cable is too long and the lever is on the wrong side

 

[Kai]

Ah - well i never did have a boot cable or release lever fitted to mine. always just unlocked it with the key

 

[Finnon]

yes we didnt get release levers for the boot. ours had central locking to the boot anyway. us cars dont thats why they have the lever and stuff

one 86 gte narrowbody and one 87 gte widebody, so you can see the difference

 

[ValgeKotkas]

White's narrowbody??

 

[Kai]

Yargh - i cant tell what my one is

 

[PROJECT N00b]

itd be better if you san see them side by side stright ahead and no angles...kind of hard to tell, but im going to guess the yellow is narrow.

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

White is narrowbody. No fat fender flares

 

[Kai]

I think mine is narrowbody then - from the looks of it - it doesnt have 'phat' flares

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Give us some mroe pics Kai.

 

[Kai]

Okay here you go:

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Yup. That looks narrow to me!

 

[Kai]

Kai: Yours is Wide.

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

its def wide. turn up he brightness on your screen.

 

[Finnon]

its hard to tell kai but if yours is a uk car it is wide body. if its not first registered in like 1988 or 89 or whenever then it may be an import. though imports would probably have the all amber front lenses rather than the half amber/clear lenses. but i think that is an mot fail anyway (not certain) so they may have been changed.

If the body bulges outward at each wheel arch its a wide body. if its straight then its a narrow body
