I am (hopefully) going to buy an FD withing the next 5 or so years and soon (november right??) the 92 FD can be imported. I was wondering are there any major differences between the USDM model and the JDM model besides Right hand drive?

 

some models have the 4.3 final drive, lsd, no aws, no egr. all that i can think of right now. there is also a speed limiter.

 

catless downpipe, too

 

pardon my ignorance but what is an "aws" and "egr"?
What speed is it limited to?

 

115mph.


all wheel steering, exhaust gas recirculation.

 

do the us spec have aws? (all wheel steering) or just jdm?

 

All wheel steering?

 

I didn't think any FD had AWS...

The 92-95s, you'd be just as well off getting a usdm as a jdm. Now, if you could get a 96-02 JDM, then yeah, do that.

 

AWS = Accelerated Warm Up System

Are you guys pulling my leg or do you really not know that?

 

I knew that, I was just thinking about different cars...how with any car other than the 7, AWS means all wheel steering.

Also, most people disable accelerated warmup system anyway...it's really worthless.

 

The later model Jap spec FD also uses a 16 bit ecu. Ours use 8. Also has better trans and better interior options.

 

Seriously, wtf !

 

What would be the price difference between a 1992 JDM and USDM fd?

 

the difference would be that there was no 92 USDM FD.

 

All Wheel Steering... that's classic. the weight increase alone would be enough for that type of system to be blasphemy in an RX7.
