I thought that by being steel they were heavier, would spool later, so were therefore actually smaller than the J-spec ceramics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little num Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlM Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Having owned both UK Spec and J-Spec I would always buy a UK spec Supra if I was going for a TT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesmark Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 he likes rust of course:innocent: That did cross my mind earlier. all the sissy comforts appeal to me. Better place to be in compared to a J-Spec. Even if it did have beige seats and carpet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 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?
