Conversation with a lad in the pub last night, regarding my import.

are imports fitted with restrictors under Jap Law?

is it possible that a toyota dealer at mot time would change anything on the car to make it less powerful?

since getting an mot done, the car seems slower!

All cars used in Japan have a 180Kph(112Mph) speed limiter. It's always possible for a dealer to adjust something that affects performance but for an Mot it's unlikely unless the car failed on emmisions and they adjusted something to get a pass.

no they can,t adjust anything mate.they have tighter emmissions in japan so over here it should fly through an mot,can think why it would feel slower :thumbsup:
