But yes without a doubt it is what we would call an SA... '78 - '80

You know what is funny about it though is it has the rear depression,bumper,and the taillights of an SA,but the license plate is under the bumper,and the lights that would illuminate the plate are not present.Oh yeah also a 3rd brake light which I have seen before,but not often.

I saw many first gens in my 10 years in Japan and never actually saw an FB id plate under the hood. Ill check to see if I still have my original fender mounted power mirrors for you yllow 79 but they do look a little different from that 7's. Please take it easy on me about the doors I only did it to catch attention at car shows.

The rear depression would be to mount a JDM plate circa 1980, different mounting holes possibly? And were registration plate lights required in Japan at the time? Dunno. But it could be he mounted the plate below the bumper to show a rear plate without drilling new holes in the metal of the depression.

some things did, some did not. for instance the dash never changed. in the states, you have like what 2 or 3 differnt dshs for the 1st gen. over here 1 dash only. there was 3 different gauge clusters though.....1st had the funky volt meter tach, 2nd lost that and had a normal tack last one had the turbo boost guage for the 12at.

Yeah, we got 3 different dashes and gauge clusters, along with I don'r know how variations on door panels between the manual, electric windows and the leather option. Not to mention some of the differences between the base and optioned models.
We also got the 13B and the REPU, (US only), while other countys got the 12AT and 12A 6-port. We did not get back seats due to the reiforcement required for crash safety. I don't believe the rotor wheels were an options here, but the SAs had 3 different waffle patterns and possibly a 4th ribbed version that I can't think of the name of atm.
