Yep both UK and JDM cars were assembled in Swindon. The JDM cars come with a Union Jack badge on the back as well!!

I don't understand why they gave us a watered down version. Most Jap manufacturers seem to do it, look at UK and JDM Scoobs for example. It's a **** take in my opinion and a real insult to us.

There are a few JDM EP3 CTR's in the country, but they are all pre-facelift models. I tried and tried to get a facelift JDM CTR into the country but there wasn't a model report available for them. Wanted one so bad that I almost came close to paying for a model report to be generated but came to my senses when I realised the whole lot was going to cost somewhere in the region of £24k.

I would actually prefer a JDM EP3 over the DC5, a lot rarer and has been proven to slightly quicker on track.

How much extra on the insurance would that be

you did tell them now,didnt you ....
Yes, thanks for your concern! It was an extra £30.00 as it's a "fuel saving device".
