Guest Moobot Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Hallo Chaps, Tis my first post, I am aiming to buy a UK spec supra TT-auto after getting an astonishing quote of a mere £994 from Elephant dispite having 0 no claims !!! The plan is to get the Abflug body kit, decent traction control (is it needed for UK spec???) and leave the engine in tact (325bhp is more then enough !). If anyone can give me tips that'd be awesome, especially on the damn Abflug kit, I cant find anywhere that sells it no more ! Money is not really a probo, finding the kit is :{ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 The UK spec TC is a LOT better than the J-spec, so should be ok, if you dont like it go for RLTC Welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Moobot Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 LOL sorry dude, I didnt even know someone had that name ! I cant beleive how quick the responses are here too. I ll definately consider the Race logic TCS, looks very swanky but I d have to go for the £700/800 version with the display, I am a gadget man. Whats the cheapest quotes you people have had?

Havard Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Welcome!! No offence but if it was a choice.........be anally rogered with a cactus whilst having my toe nails pulled out with a pair of plyers at the same time!! OR Have an abflug kit?? I would have the abflug, but it's a close run thing though!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Yes What are you basing that on? As far as I was aware the UK TC is as bad as the j-spec's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 What are you basing that on? As far as I was aware the UK TC is as bad as the j-spec's Well, i was basing it on the UK TC being quite different.... IIRC, and im totally basing this on recall, since its too late to bother searching... UK senses slip from ABS and has feed to the braking system on the 2 rear wheels, reducing slip that way, and i think the TCS system itself in the throttle body is quite different... http://www.autoshop101.com/forms/brake12.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Moobot Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Many thanks Rob ! I think my answer of whether I need it lies in this document, looks like I have a lotta reading to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 No problem dude. i would advise you get the car and see how you find the various things like the body and TC system first, you might not hate it that much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Who needs TC, i have a nats off 570bhp and i dont use it on my UK spec Its crap anyway, it comes on if you go round bends/roundabouts too fast and puts you in a right cufuffle.

michael Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 UK spec sucks donkey balls, it's obviously better than the J-Spec setup just because it's on a UK but it's still pants. Original poster - if you plan to destroy a Supra with the Abflug please do so with a J-Spec, there aren't enough UK cars left as it is.

Guest Moobot Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Hallo everyone, Still looking about to get a UK supra but I was wondering if there is a simple way to find one by just looking at the interior picture of a car. I know the UK model only has 3 dial light clusters but is there anything that makes it conclusive to being made in the UK just based on photos?
