well first off the uk comes with 17" wheels - 4 pot calipers - active spoiler - 4 spoke leather wheel - bigger fuel pump - bigger injectors - bigger turbo's (steel not ceramic) - glass headlights - real leather seats front and rear - bonnet scoop - headlight sprayers - cruise control - bigger diff - bigge driveshafts - normal number plate hole at rear of the car - fog light built in with rear lights - and lots of other small things.

I thought that by being steel they were heavier, would spool later, so were therefore actually smaller than the J-spec ceramics?

i dont care about weight as im 18 stone anyways lol. plus parts are very easy to get from local toyota, if you tell him its an import he's not interested.

 

Shouldn't be a problem, just give him a registration number and he should be able to supply most parts you need, mines an import and came up fine at the local Toyota.

 

You might be better off using the traders on the forum though and the for sale section on the forum too.

Why? :)

 

Better brakes, quieter inside the car, engine felt smoother but on WOT pulled harder and all the sissy comforts appeal to me. Better place to be in compared to a J-Spec.

 

Only downside was the suspension is a bit soft.

 

It is narrowminded some of the views J-Spec vs UK Spec, I would still have a J-Spec if the right one came along.

Better brakes, quieter inside the car, .

 

What if ones JDM Supra came with the 'better brakes' as standard?

 

Also, surely the quietness inside the car is subjective. There's nothing different in any area that would cause one to be different to the other when it comes to cabin noise, is there?
