Difference between a UK TT and JSpec TT

[edinlexusV8]

Hi,

Could anybody drop a quick line about what is the difference between a UK TT and a JSpec TT when it comes to drive train (V160, diff ratio, rear subframe, anti roll bar, rear control arms and stabilizer links). I understand the brakes are different but not sure about the remaining bits.

 

Thanks

It would take a long time to explain everything, can you explain the background to this question as it might save us a lot of time going through differences which are not applicable.

 

Also, which model Jspec do you refer to? facelift/non-facelift, 6spd (v161/v160), auto, REAS, etc

Say if I want to transfer a UK Spec 6 Speed TT gearbox and rear subframe into a JSpec auto TT, will all the bits match and just fall into place? Thanks

still looking for an answer from anybody who knows this stuff. I am looking for replacing full UK TT rear subframe with a JSpec TT subframe except the brakes. will this be a straight swap or does this invole some modification?

Why don't you ring up Toyota and ask if there's any different part codes? That may be able to help you.

 

Or look at UK & JDM EPC guides.

Nothing like a bit of DIY

I fitted a j spec rear subframe to a UK car. The brakes your changing. The diff will need changing as the UK has a pump. If your changing all the suspension arms and hubs over make sure the the j spec car has abs.
