actually i own a normal satria, n my fren own a UK Spec Satria, i don`t really see any physical difference between us, but when i get in n try his car, his handling seems to be better

When I was shopping for a Satria..only clue that I could see if its a UK Spec or not is the ABS..and airbag? I dunno

Oh , but my car don't have air bag also..Its 03/04

Compare the "UK spec" registration card to the normal, any difference ar?

Ya , i checked that earlier..I didn't see any thing stating it is UK SPEC also..but my friend said he identified it by looking at the colour , whereby the colour is GERMIS GREY..not sure wheather izzit true

my 96' Satria is a UK Spec Satria. The difference are:

1) Dual reading speedo meter. MPH is on top and more visible than KMH which is only small under the MPH numberings.

2) Also, not only the speedo meter is in MPH, the counter is also in Miles.

3) Aircond panel is different. It have "winter" button. When it turns to blue color, means you have cold air coming out and when it orange, it blows hot air.

4) Proton also installed an ABS-like brake assistant at the brake pump. But rosak already and i have removed it when i installed a new brake pump last time.

5) The dashboard panel is attached with carbon fiber like panel. Others 96' Satria is only fitted with normal black dashboard panel.

Thats only the differences. Owh yea, it comes with SRS airbag steering (4 spoke).

Hope that helps.

Well I had a UK spec Satria before. Light purple. Sold it on 2000/2001. Details are exactly the same as you had describe zedz. Another thing is, try to knock the body of the car. UK spec cars sounds much tougher coz they are made using a different body, tougher I guess. Is urs purple? It might be me old friend... :proud:

 

[zedz]

no. originally mine is White. Then i changed the color to black.

 

[ephique74]

I prefer the UK spec than local spec Satria. It feels planted when cornering. But cons on the heavier feel.

I'm not sure bout this detail though, UK spec cars comes with a rectangular diamond logo instead of the usual karipap logos. Mine had rectangular diamond logo. Urs zedz?

 

[zedz]

i've changed my front hood and bumper and fender to mivec long time ago. heheheh..

but yeah, i do agree about the cornering. I am very confident whenever i hit a corner with high speed if I'm in my car. But i'm not sure that if because of the UK Spec or what because i never use other Satria so i cant compare.
