^like what the title asks... how do you determine whether your 93 was a late model or an earlier model? (I've tried searching)

 

[KBlake]

The date of manufacture is on the plate on the driver's door jamb.

My 93T was built in 4/92 and first sold in 5/92.

Mine was made in 7/93. It must have been one of the last 93 built. Whats weird is I have a 94+ taillight rear trunk panel.

 

[KBlake]

Are you sure it's not a 94 model year? Look at the BOV pipe. The 94 and 95 ones are ribbed, by the bracket where the pipe bolts to the head.

 

[Robb]

No, it's not a 94. It would have dual airbags if it was. I don't have the stock IC pipes anymore, the motor and everything in the engine bay has been completely overhauled

 

[KBlake]

Well then a prior owner must have installed the 94 tails.

My 93 didn't come with 94 tails, but when I installed some, I didn't have to pound the rear panel in for the reverse lights to fit. Maybe late model 93?

 

[Robb]

Nope, it had 93 tails when I bought it. It's a one owner car with 14K on it, never wrecked. Hey jthai, what your build date?

 

[KBlake]

A 94 tail light panel won't fit with 93 tails. Yours must be a custom panel, made to go with the 93 tails.

 

[Jthai]

Hey jthai, what your build date?

It says 'Toyota Motor Corporation 01/93'

Ken,
I never noticed the 'ribbing' before for the 94+ models thats a good observation. Do they also come with the extra vacuum port like the genIII bov pipes? BTW mine is your standard flat bov pipe.

Thanks. It's the only visual cue on the engine that it's a 94 or 95T. You can also look at the tops of the strut towers. The 94's and 95's have support brackets under the nuts. The 91-93 don't.

There is no extra port in the bov pipe.
