suprarob Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 oh monkey they say the truth hurts:D sounds like your on drugs buying an import lets pay more for your insurance I don,t need to fork out yet more money on a lsd so I,ve got more to spend on other things I think the supra looks crap without the bonnet scoop oh yes I didn,t mension the leather as standerd:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timwildman Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 What everyone is missing is that they not, UK brakes, UK wheels, etc..Because they all came from japan. Fitted from the factory. On cars sold in japan. The heavy bits were left off, EGR, Glass head lights, Horns, steel turbos, etc.. The heavy bits that were only needed if your going to drive around all day long at 160mph.

suprarob Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 monkey mark before I decided on my car I test drove lots of different supras to see what the differences were and between the jdm and uk car when in standard spec there is very little difference, and to be honest on a short test drive the brakes didn,t seem much different to me. have you driven a supra with a lsd ? does it make it worth all the hasel of changing ?

dandan Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 And I have a factory active spoiler, factory Recaros, factory sideskirts, lsd, along with the typical Jap weight savings with resultant benefits. Not to mention it's a facelift, a mere myth to the UK Toyota dealers! Not all J specs are outequipped by the uk's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandan, I was about to come steaming in with exactly the same, if you want the best it should be a facelift J-spec, but then again I should really shut up, my car wouldnt even beat a UK'larder at the moment...... Facelift Options: Big brakes, Recaros, VVT-i, extra 40bhp The only thing I have stolen from you UK'ers is the headlamps.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
