Bobbeh Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I understand. I dont think you'll find a low mile UK 6 that isnt an insurance write off for under 10k. You'll find older autos easy enough... and there are plenty of JDM models to consider which arnt bad at all... apart from insurance, which again can be hit and miss depending on who you go with.

Supragal Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 If you want a UK (for insurance reasons, personal) then thats fair enough mate just saying don't be thinking it's better or anything. Besides, UK cars are "fake" Toyota should be Japs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyb10supra Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 at the end of the day whatever anyone thinks about this we all own a supra whether it be a UK or J-spec......there supras at the end of the day plain and simple which is why we are all part of the club....

Bobbeh Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Well why do people keep pretending its not!? I cant understand this. We're not just talking about gadets etc. Overall engine components and equipment leves are higher or as high as the better JDM models, and ALL come as standard on UK models. Whether you care whether you have this or that is not the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Is that what Rosie said then? Did she say that the spec was the same or did she comment on the theory that the UK is more powerful? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 just saying don't be thinking it's better or anything. Im not talking about power/performance/looks or whether you want this that or the other, just the cars SPEC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Sorry, that was more aimed at the other on here as that was about to turn into a Jap v UK argument!! Honestly, don't worry about it being a UK/JAP car based on performance theres really nothing in it. I can use quotes too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyb10supra Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I know there different spec wise as do many others.......but hey who cares I own a supra whether it be J-spec or UK I own a Supra...... yeah the UK spec may be better but the J-spec is still good and to be honest the performance and tech spec difference is so small I really dont worry about it like I said at the end of the day we are all supra owners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 yeah the UK spec may be better ROTFPMSL surely 'different' is the correct term? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Agreed, but no one is slagging off the JDM models. Its just saying the UK is the same as a JDM just isnt the case. Like I've said before on countless occasions I nearly ended up with a JDM model. I wouldnt have minded one bit. It was insurance and the fact that I found the exact car that I wanted why I ended up with the UK model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 ROTFPMSL surely 'different' is the correct term? hmmm maybe that would have been a better term to use I own a j-spec just for the record Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getrag Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Since both examples are hardly ever standard anyway, the discussion is a non-starter. Holy, do i recognise your name from one of the Glasgow forums? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul -C- Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 3. Im up in aberdeen. Anyone know of good tuner/ mechanic who can work on these cars locally or in scotland ??
