I realize this is an old thread, but I thought I'd shed some light on the issue. The fact of the matter is, Toyota bases chassis codes on 2 things: model revision, and  engine  type. Then there is what is in the VIN, which is used to distinguish between trim levels (turbo/NA/etc). W1 = 1st Gen MR2 W2 = 2nd Gen MR2 W3 = 3rd Gen MR2 A7 = 3rd Gen Supra E8 = 4th Gen Corolla Now of course the first letter added on is easy, it's just the  engine  family code. AW1 = 1st Gen MR2 with A-series engine SW2 = 2nd Gen MR2 with S-series engine ZZW3 = 3rd Gen MR2 with ZZ-series engine MA7 = 3rd Gen Supra with M-series engine GA7 = 3rd Gen Supra with G-series engine JZA7 = 3rd Gen Supra with JZ-series engine AE8 = 4th Gen Corolla with A-series engine Finally, the hard part, the last number, Toyota will have a "base" number that the chassis is, usually this is the model with the lowest engine family revision. Same engine family revisions get the same final chassis number. AW10 = 1st ...
Changed the Transmission fluid and bled the brake lines today... about 103,000 on the speedometer...
My old after ride coffee spot was becoming annoying... only 3 good parking spots... retard and his family would show up running around me jumping up and down making retard noises...lol... the two dog couples who would show up talking to there dogs non stop, and if they weren't talking to there dogs they were talking about there dogs... then the Mexican dude that would wet the sidewalk and then blow dust everywhere, all over the 3 good parking spots... I had enough... Atsuko found me a much better spot... comfortable chairs, good shade... 12 good parking spots to view the car that are much closer then the old place, good coffee and after the first day it was pretty empty at 7AM...
was about to change my Transmission oil when last min I came across this article... Originally everyone said 2.7 quarts... but looks like the SC E51 needs 4.4... still not sure if thats true but I just ordered two more quarts just to be safe...
