Loads of differences and added options, differences further with the European ones aswell.

JDM Specs

Base---17" wheels, ABS,Brake assist,TCS,limited slip diff,xenon headlights

Version T---- leather seats, seven speaker bose

Version S-- 18" rims Brembo's and VDc(instead of TCS ? )but no leather

Version ST--leather +Version S spec

rear spoilers/sat nav and side airbags ordered as extras on all specs + loads of other Extras not seen on UK cars like auto fold mirrors ,different steering wheels, footwell illumination etc etc...


UK models have:
= larger fuel tank
= different ECU
= rear spoiler
= xenon headlights (standard)
= headlamp washers (Standard)
= bigger radiator
= uprated interior
= uprated suspension (same from Nov 2004 onwards I believe)
= different exhaust
= phone integration
= speed limit of 155mph and not 112mph
= manual (6 speed gearbox)
= Thatcham cat 1 alarm
= different horn
= 18" wheels
= enhanced cooling for LSD
= GT pack option (leather seats, heated seats, cruise control, BOSE)
= Brembos as standard
= different (larger) air intake


JDM car has:
= tiptronic/manual gearbox
= max speeds 112mph (HKS speed defender needed)
= auto roll-up window
= 17" wheels
= ridiculously bright high-beam light in car; £10 to fix
= no fog light (will be fixed as part of SVA)
= square number plate
= wing mirrors fold-in when locking car
= wing mirrors dip down when selecting reverse
= optional xenons (but no headlamp washer)
= optional brembos
= Key Fob unlocks the boot
= Different Badge on the boot.
