jap parts very easy to pick up and the difference between the jap spec vs uk spec is you get better performance from the jap spec

Yes they are but why would that be a problem the speed limit is 70mph. You can get the limit removed.

If you want one you have no choice, import only on these

I bought one in March for 2.5k and its fantastic ! But then its fantastic because I have spent money on it making it fantastic. Going on the current prices of scoobs, what I have spent probably would have bought a tidy, much younger car. Depends what you want really
