Sheefa Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 ? Preferences? As in what, you have some or you want use to tell you some? Question seems unclear mate but have a search. UK Supra: - Includes UK Brakes, Stronger Steel Turbos, Larger Alloys, Bigger Injectors, Leather Interior etc J-Spec: - Faster spooling but ceramic turbos, optional leaher/cloth interior, smaller injectors and alloys. However, there's no real performance differentiation between them. You'll get a lower ileage Jap import for cheaer mate than a UK thought. Insurance may be higher though. You might need to rephrase to 'Pre or Facelift'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 I would say Jap aswell just because i hate the MAF sensor on the UK's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraKid Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 UK overall better equiped, but harder to get hold of in good condition, mileage etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 uk if you want to modify it to bpu level. The fuel pump is better, injectors are bigger, and the turbos are stronger. It'll be more reliable at bpu level than a jap spec would. You'll struggle finding a low milage uk spec though, althoug if its been looked after, milage isnt really an issue, mines got 130k and im going single. jap spec owners will say jap spec, and vice versa.. so make your own mind up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjodrell Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 I think that all UK models were autos so if you want a manual you will have to go for a Jap spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewie Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 I think that all UK models were autos so if you want a manual you will have to go for a Jap spec. No there were UK spec 6 speed manuals. I test drove one a few years ago. I should've bought it. [sAD][/sAD] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Jap for me .................as a UK car has experienced 10-years of shit weather conditions and road salt;) ahh, but our uk specs are undersealed, unlike your jap specs Mine looks fine underneath after all that 'shit weather and road salt' i do love a bit'a banter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 ahh, but our uk specs are undersealed, unlike your jap specs Most jap specs I've seen are undersealed, mine certainly was - I booked in into a bodywork place just after buying to get it done. They called me later in the day asking why I'd bothered as it had been done from the factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 i do love a bit'a banter Me too. I've done 7-miles in my Supra so far this year.

Oh right, guess this must have been done by the owner who bought the car in japan then? as i dont think it was an optional extra was it? off topic ... is that 350bhp with your new single conversion mate? seems a bit low Me too. I've done 7-miles in my Supra so far this year. (There and back to Twisted Vision and 'there' again where it remains for more pampering and external work) Thats 7more than me, infact, my supra has been sorn a year at the end of this month although theres nowt wrong with it, ive taken a lil while buying all my single bits and then fitting them. Few more weeks and it'll be back tearing up the tarmac just in time for the decent weather to arrive hopefully .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
