I know this isn't ADM AW11 information, but the rarity of this definitely makes it suitable for this thread. Paul Woods has just tracked down and purchased an AW11 fitted with a Germany only Toyota factory wide body kit, known as the "Haslbeck". More information here: http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?21239-Haslbeck-Mk1-on-its-way
 
Brochure pics here:



 
The most interesting part about this body kit is, it's not an aftermarket kit, it is a 100% Toyota designed and sold option for the AW11 in Germany.
 
 

Truly a good read.. Build date on mine reads October '87. Makes me wonder how many 87's are still alive and kicking.

quite a few I would say. Most of the aussie adubs I have really seen in the circles have all seemed to be 1987 models. I have owned a few 87 builds. I have owned one 88 build
 
I am curious how many actual 89 builds are kicking around. I have not seen too many of this year.

The radiator overflow bottle came with an opaque plastic cap (like the reservoir itself) that disintegrated after a while, and the replacement is the much hardier black one you see in the photos.  While I can't can't categorically rule out that the later cars had the black cap, the early ones definitely did not.

Do you think that was a bit of a design fault from Toyota originally? I remember almost cooking my engine due to that seemingly insignificant piece of plastic, which at the time was the white opaque variety.

My engine cooked and it had the original white opaque cap. Co-incidence? Probably. I can't see how an overflow cap can influence the way the cooling system works.
 
If it clogged the overflow and caused pressure build up, I'd see otherwise, but I find that hard to believe that the factory rad cap might release excess pressure but the overflow bottle doesn't.

More Haslbeck awesomeness from the UK
 
 
Sincere thanks to Mike for scanning this excellent article in and sending it to me, a review from 1987 with some very interesting facts, makes superb reading.






 
 
Love the article title... The Everyday Testarossa....

Options:
- Sunroof
- Air conditioning (dealer fit)
- Two tone and metallic paint options
- Cruise Control. maybe. Its not listed as an option in the brochures I have, but its not listed as a standard feature either. I've just seen too many without it, and two magazines reviews mention in 1988 mention it as an option (at $455, and then at $650). As far as i can guess, it may well have been standard on the first lot of cars, then changed to an option.

 
what about roof racks? car bras? subwoofers? or were they only options in other countries?

Hello,
I have an aussie delivered 10/1987. It came with next to no documentation so I have been searching for the correct owner's manual.
 
PUB No. OM17414U, PART No. 01999-17414, looks close but is a LHD (USA?) manual.
 
Does anyone know what the correct Aussie part number is?
Regards,
