Decoding chassis numbers

[NA Drifter]

I remember there is a website ages ago about different model cars(Toyota) and have a list of chassis numbers versus year of manufactor including months.
I was looking for AE86 and TE71 chassis number to find the month of manufactor that time and I found them.
I'm trying to look for that page again but can't find anything. Does anyone have anything simillar(the list). Or anyone know how to "read" the numbers after chassis code?

thanks

This was a summary I originally did for Club K, Starlet specific but the link to the bodyshell age website is at the bottom.

I originally posted this on http://www.club-k.co.nz after collecting a large number of chassis codes from members there. Have posted it here to spread the info among the rest of the KP community.

I.D. codes start with the letter(s) for the Engine family.
K P60RPGKRS

The second letter is the platform type.
K P 60RPGKRS

The next number is the model generation.
KP 6 0RPGKRS

Each new generation of the starlet has added 10 to the old model code to get the new model code.

The next number is for engine size.
KP6 0 RPGKRS
O=2K 1000cc
1=4K 1300cc
2=3K 1200cc

If there is an "L" or "R" after the numbers but before the dash:
KP60 R PGKRS
L= Left Hand Drive
R=Right Hand Drive
Blank=Right Hand Drive

Wagon models are supposed to have a "V" before the dash, have confirmed this on two different wagons:

First code after the dash is the model type based on the same platform.
KP60R P GKRS

This code may be missing if this platform is not shared with any other model.

Next code is the body style:
KP60RP G KRS
G=3 Door Hatch
H=5 Door Hatch
X=4 Door Wagon (confirmed from two different wagons)

The next code after the dash is the transmission type:
KP60RPG K RS
H=3(?) Speed Auto
K=4 Speed Manual
M=5 Speed Manual

The next code is the trim level or grade:
KP60RPGK R S
R=Standard
D=Deluxe
N=Mid Level General
S=Sports, normal performance

The next code is the engine type:
KP60RPGKR S
S=Single Cam, Single Carb
C=Single Cam, Single Carb, Emmission Controls
E=Single Cam, EFI

Hope this helps everyone decode their starlets.

Just put in your chassis number and it tells you when your shell made. I needed to added a dash after the KP60 and then a 0 before my chassis number as it is meant to have 7 digits.
Note, this will be different to the date on your chassis plate if locally assembled as that is the assembly date NOT the shell manufacturing date.
