Hi new to the forum and found it really useful.....

But still have a couple of questions before i part with my hard earned cash..

I remember someone telling me that a UK spec car is better due to the engine tollerences at manufacture ... is this the case ???

In which year did they start the UK spec cars .....

thanks in advance

Hi mate, Welcome along....

JDM cars do have a better spec than UK cars.

Newage shape - UK STI's were in 2001.

What is your budget then?

Hi thanks for the reply


Should have bought one years ago test drove 54 plate STi with 310bhp and was hooked but as its only a weekend car £15500 is a bit extreme.

Want to spend between £5000 - £7000


any advice on which model to go for would be good

Jap cars are mechanically more sound than UK spec. They're built better.

true. they have better quality internals etc etc. only thing im wary of with imports, especially an older one with a £5000-7000 budget, is the history. some come with some dont, so sometimes it can be (not saying it will) be a gamble.
