[JamesAE86]

which is your preferance and why?

[marty55]

Japanese.
Less rot
and the ding dong over 100kmh

[oldskull]

Both not my preferance because they are RHD

If I would choose for this two, I will choose Japanese of course. I dont know why but I like them JDM

[SNIFF MY DIFF!]

europe style is nice but most cars are just in better shape from japan. been checking some prices. for 6k euro's i have a complete trueno here on plates etc. In a condiftion I cannot buy one here. So depends on what you want.

drifter i would go europe. the car doesn't need to be clean etc

daily driver or love car i would choose a jap import

Maybe a dumb question, and maybe I must use the search button, but what is exactly the difference between these two?

I suspect the taillights could be a difference...

[cue]

minor differences, BUt i would strongly agree with JAP AE86. Alot better in many ways... Solid car, less or NO rust, Come with extras, some come with a better LSD as standard, ... basically built for purpose, and amongst many other reasons too.
But it depends on the individual who is buying the car, for what reason is he/she buying it for? In nearly all or most cases i would recommend a JAP AE86, but if you are thinking of buying a AE86 and restoring it, and spending ridiculous amount of money, to get it right to original standard, and then finally parking it up in your heated garage, then i advice a UK ae86. otherwise i strongly recommended JAP AE86.

UK and jap came with the same two pinion lsd as standard?, infact, you are more lightly to get a car from Japan with an open diff. I have never seen a UK car not equiped with lsd as standard. I prefere the UK look. But I like a lot of the Jap stuff also.
