Due to larger injectors if I believe. UK car is unlike most other Jap equivalents alot better.
UK cars have bonnet vent as standard.
Bo selecta.

Both are great cars and either would suit. Besides, if you wanted big power, say 500 plus you'd need to do a fair bit to either car, so the injectors/turbos of the Jspec wouldn't really matter!!! Another difference is the Jspec uses MAP for air flow and the UK's use MAF.

However because they are ceramic in a slightly lighter car they spool quicker, giving power quicker and making a better daily driver and thus theoretically faster than the UK until you get in serious licence losing territory!

Best bet (and Im giving Jawa stares here cos he normally does this bit
) is to head over to www.mkivsupra.net/vbb and ask some questions on there. The specs on www.supra.co.uk are a little out of date now, I wrote those many moons ago and they were updated for www.mkivsupra.net and have been superceeded again now.Import spec and UK spec cars do behave quite differently, try and drive both if you can. And dont write off the auto over a 6sp, I have owned both and would happily swap back to an auto (although I would go for a late spec VVTi tiptronic now...and then fit a single turbo, but thats just me)

Approximately half the price of a Brembo kit and just as good if not better at stopping I got mine done for 900 all in, fitted myself and it was a doddle.
It would have been 700 ish if I hadn't gone for braided hoses, race fluid and fast road pads too............

The stock UK brakes are very very good....my Jspec has the uk calipers and stops on a six pence....
plus the braided hoses really do improve the feel of the pedal..not to mention the motul fluid
