Does it have:

- Sunroof
- Wooden steering wheel
- AFS
- A/C and heater on seats
- any other fancy options that the LHD versions doesn't have?

Dunno, I think it's mostly standard Lexus features, no sunroof, and yep has AFS, heated and cooled seats etc.

The JDM difference is the 1UR-FSE, not FE, unless that's what you mean? If so, how exactly were they de-tuned? If it's just a fuel/ign map then no issues there, soon fix that, but are you talking about something mechanical? Restricted intake volumes or some such other physical attribute that would de-tune it?

USDM cars also got the FSE. Only the middle east cars I believe are FE's. The difference between the 1UR in the GS and the 1 UR in the LS (which has the higher power rating) is the exhaust manifolds and the intake is different. The manifolds definitely are part of the detune as the GS manifolds arent nearly as good as the LS manifolds. I dont suspect the intake really being worth any value power wise. So the rest would be tune related.

I know this is an old thread. But the response can help others who use the search feature.
