rider Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Someone is selling a 1995 TOYOTA SUPRA UK SPEC on eBay and I think as many people as can be bothered should tell him his car is only a little bit nearer a UK Spec Supra than a Nissan Micra. Its even sporting that well known UK spec option, Range Rover brakes. You couldn't make it up. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1995-TOYOTA-SUPRA-UK-SPEC/301737147621?_trksid=p2054897.c100204.m3164&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140407115239%26meid%3Dbb1703346c1d494fb0b1feac93b74de1%26pid%3D100204%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D27%26sd%3D161804964173 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitch79 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 You saying it's not a UK spec? Because if you are, your wrong. It is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 I must be wrong then, never realised Range Rover brakes were UK spec. Always figured it was steel vane turbos, larger (Toyota) brakes, active spoiler and headlight washers, 17 inch wheels etc. in the UK spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car is a UK spec, he's swapped the front brakes for Range Rover ones, he quite clearly says that he has smoothed out the headlight washers and the wheels are aftermarket.

An active spoiler also came on J-specs too btw, oh and this UK has one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice car Apart from the wheels, agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 Maybe the car should be advertised more properly as UK supplied or once upon a time a UK spec car because the current spec would be easier arrived at from a J car than a UK car. Glass headlights and leather seats does not really leave it anywhere close to a UK spec car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Yes it does. How many J-Spec cars on here are as from the factory? Just because folk have tweaked and played doesn't make their base model any different. It is a UK spec, end of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add seems fine to me its a UK car and has mods, I have a Jspec with different suspension/single turbo/bigger brakes/bodykit etc etc does that mean I cannot advertise as a J-spec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glass headlights and leather seats does not really leave it anywhere close to a UK spec car. The cars still a uk spec car, complete with full uk spec interior, tail lights, bumper, head lights, hood scoop, all factory optional extras, and assuming injectors, resistors, turbos, plenum etc etc. Just some brakes that have been changed at the end of the day. If you put uk brakes on a jspec car it doesnt make it a uk car, so why would it work the other way round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 Pleased its all provided a bit of have a dig sport for some of you guys. Think I'm just about done with this forum. I’ve concluded it just comes down to my appreciation for unmolested stock spec with matching numbers cars is much higher than most and I'll continue to maintain my J spec that I've owned from nearly new in that condition. For me the only difference for a UK supplied vehicle, seeing they were built in the same factory, is that the specification was different, perceived better than the standard J Spec grey imports. So, if you significantly modify the spec a UK spec vehicle then is really no difference to a modified J spec. In which instance, this particular ‘UK spec’ car, is a bit expensive for a non stock TT auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
np89 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 That'll teach you to be so arrogant about someone else's car now won't it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 I still don't recognise it as a UK spec car. That's maybe my eyesight. But I do strongly object to your calling me a moron. I can only assume you are not familiar with the clinical definition of a moron. Makes you uneducated, I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
np89 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Not really, you put up a post to scoff at someone else's advert and in the doing so unearthed both your arrogance and ignorance. Also the definition of " a moron" and my naming you as such in this situation is quite appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 Read slowly so you can take it in np89. A forum is normally there to pass comment, or advice not judgment. I am no moron, I'm actually fairly intelligent. I'm not ignorant, I probably know more about Supras than 99% of forum members having owned various variant for 25 years and my current one for 18 years. As for arrogance you have me beat hand down on that matey. So off and play nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 We'll keep the Supra Classifieds section to it's intended purpose - thread starters advertising their own Supra for sale. I don't think this thread is going anywhere productive anyway, so it's the end of the road. If further discussions on the spec of the car concerned are to continue, a new thread can be started in 'Supra Chat'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
