Don’t be too worried unless you’re planning to import it yourself without having anyone you can trust to look at it or find out the necessary details for you! Your best bet is to speak to someone such as Jurgen (Jurgen-Jm-Imports) who is a reputable importer/trader of this club :)

Welcome ! Hi mate,no worries on imported car's if this is what you want,just make the necessary check's on the document side like history etc, buy one from a reputable dealer like as mentioned above or on the classified section on the forum, where most of the car's have been well looked after ! iv'e had three import's, latest being a supra n/a and all have been great, part's are easy to come by, only thing that could be an issue is the dreaded "INSURANCE" , decide what spec you want and check prices before hand. as for Aerotop i havn't got much knowledge on that sorry. :) :)

Hi,

I have an Aero-top, 94 JZA non turbo.........good cars, but ,like all convertibles and removeable roof cars, they do suffer a bit, from scuttle-shake with the roof panel off.............on its no problem.

 

Its all relative the scuttle shake is not really bad, just "there".

 

Part of the reason for this is that the Jspec cars have much harder suspension than the UK spec models, on mine I have just replaced the shocks and am now looking to replace the springs with a slightly softer unit front and back.

 

I used to have a UK spec cars many(many) years ago when they first came out and that car was very smooth, as my old mind remembers it!

 

It takes me about two minutes to remove or re-fit the roof, the only problem is that as it sits in the boot, you cannot really put anything else there, but its a small price to pay for having both a hard top and a "convertible" for the summer!
