Well this sure explains a lot. I thought I had some weird chopped up car. It explains the vin number issues as well. I thought there was something funny about it but I couldn’t put my finger on it. I will be keeping it as stock as I can from here on out. I already replaced the seats since the...

Is it common to find a euro spec supra in the states? This might finally explain some things. How did this car get here?

Oh and check the mirrors out. My 88 has solid mirrors while these will fold in. Not sure if other 87s are like that or not.

I don’t know what the deal is on this thing. First it took me 2 months to get it licensed since the vin kept coming back as not a real vin number. We did a background check and it came back clean. It just has some oddities that other cars done seem to have. I’m not sure what to make of it.

This thing isn’t spliced. It’s a one piece harness. My car also has reflectors under the rear license plate. I have not seen this on other cars. My 88 has a different license plate surround altogether.

My car is an 87 and my parts car is an 88. My car has sliders for the temp and the 88 is digital. The connectors are completely different and there are a different number of wires.

I thought all of these things were interchangeable from 87 -92. Why are my wire connectors different? Why is this car being such a pain in the a**. I ran into the same problem when I replaced the seats and door locks. Different wire connectors. Has anyone else had these issues with an 87?

I'm pretty sure they are all interchangeable from 87 to 92. They might look a tad different on 89 on up but they should plug in the same.

Yea, i think the 3/8 will do you just fine.

I have an 87 and a window switch form an 89. They both look the same to me.

That's funny:icon_bigg

Very nice car. What are your plans for it?

Nice looking ride. I think you will really enjoy that one.

Is the valve an expensive dealer only part?

Yea, I thought they would be the same but they weren’t. My 87 had power lumbar but not power movement. The 88 had both so the plug was different. I was hoping the door switches would not be the same but once I took a real good look at them I noticed the passenger side on my 88 has a bottom while...

I have an 87 Targa and bought an 88 for parts. I was wanting to switch out the inside locking mechanisms but I noticed that the 88 has an auto lock on it where my 87 does not. Has anyone run into this before? I know when I switched my seats out I had a problem getting the wire harness to match...

Parts cars are really the way to go if you have a place to store it. I told my wife the other day that my parts car was my best car purchase I ever made. I got a good rear diff out of it, good door switches, an extra motor with a blown HG, some kick butt exhaust and all bran new brakes. Not to...

That car looks familiar. Was it on eBay recently? Indiana-Ohio car?

I could handle the auto. When I was younger I loved those sticks but for the weekly commute I love my auto. Great looking car.:icon_bigg

Sometimes its just dumb luck getting a good car for a reasonable price. I paid a grand for mine and it needed some work. With a $500 parts car added in its now a very good car. I’m sure I will have to deal with some larger issues in the future since the car does have 180,000 miles on it.
