Right Hand Drive Supras? - Page 3

Poodles · 08-04-2005, 06:38 AM

Supra production stopped in '98 world wide. It's NOT worth trying to import a Supra because it's the same car, and will cost more, plus you have no idea what it drives like.

Skyline, the rare AWD Turbo Celica's, the different spec RX-7's, maybe, but the only thing that is different on the supras is the hood had a scoop, and it was right hand drive...not worth the added effort and money, and laws are local, you might be able to register it in one county, but not another.

Now getting JDM parts, go for it, as they have certain things that are killer, like catalytic converters that are as good as off-road pipes, but will pass a sniffer test, or the variable exhaust where a valve opens up at speed so the engine can breath, but it's not overly loud.

Supras in Japan continued till 2002. In the UK Supras were available between 1993-1996. MkIV Supras in the UK and Japan had two catalytic converters and i`ll think you`ll find that they will pass your emission laws. UK Supras would be worth the hassle of importing as they have larger brakes, 4 pot calipers, steel internal turbos instead of ceramic, plus other bits and bobs that are different and better, oh, and they also kick out 326bhp as standard.
6 Speed manuals in the UK start at ?8000 GBP. If you want to see late model and smart Supras for sale do this:

www.google.co.uk
Pick language tools
Pick to translate a website from japanese to English
Put the website www.yahoo.co.jp into the translate box
Pick auctions
Pick automobile
Pick body
Pick Toyota and work your way through the models as Supra doesn`t translate into English

Enjoy!

Sorry to bring this back from the dead (especially as I'm a new member... hello everyone), but I've been looking into this for a bit now. Does anyone actually KNOW anyone who has imported a Supra? I have many reasons for wanting to import (some of which include that they are about half the price, they are RHD, and they usually have much lower milage). I am also in a unique position in that I can actually GO TO THE CAR and check it out before actually laying money down. So far I've found Japan-Partner to be a good place to shop, though I'm still like 4 hours from Nagoya. I need someone with experience in legalizing an import to tell me how much of a hassle it would be and how much it would cost.
