What you're referring to is the SuperMonitor. It was an option for pre89 MKIIIs, not available for 89+. I don't know that I'd say they're super rare... They're not common, but they're easy enough to find. I've actually got two or three packed up somewhere. They were very cool for the time and they're an excellent reminder of how far ahead of the curve Toyota was back then.

nice yeah lol. ill ask him. i know Transmission and engine have under 10k on em. and the body itself hasn't hit 120k yet so i got a while for this car yet.

yeah the cars are pretty advance. i was showing it off to my co-workers and they were like. huh. they had this technology in 87. i was like yeah i told you it wasn't me that was the only great thing about 87 lol.

but yeah for sure ill ask him.....

thinking about getting the car rapainted too. any color suggestions or maybe leave it yellow?
