Hey Guys,

 

The missus was asking why her seat isn't electric like mine :nyah:, and I have no idea... So a couple of questions for you:

 

Did Toyota offer electric passenger seats as an option?

American cars are left hand drive, so presumably Toyota did make LHS orientated electric seats?

Does the Supra have a generic wiring loom for both Euro/US spec cars, and if so is the wiring already in place for a passenger electric seat motor?

Any idea's if it's feasable to retrofit an electric passenger seat into my Supra?

 

:stupid:

I remember a member from Greece, or some other country (I can't remember his name) talking about doing this a while back.

 

I'm sure someone will know who I mean, and it might be worth contacting him to see how he got on.

 

I think it would be a good mod, but I guess it's adding extra weight, would be good to find out how much all the bits needed weigh compared to the standard mechanism.

Nope...not an option :) And if im not mistaken...the lack of electrical adjustments on the passenger side is mentioned in the "weight saving" part of the original "for-Toyota-sales-personell-only" product info book :)
