Is my car 93´or 94´ ??

Guys,

By my JDM VIN is it 93´or 94´??

I know is a Type R (which I guess is good), but I bought it as 94´and am guessing by the VIN it could be 93´??

Any pictures of the interior? There are ways to tell by looking at the USDM vin numbers, however im not sure about the JDM vin's.

the climate control and finish on the plastic pieces are a good indicator

I believe it is. The VIN is FD3S-2xxxx, the 2 shows it's a 94 if memory serves.

I could be wrong on this, though.

I thought that all 94's be it JDM or USDM had a pasenger airbag, this one does not unless I am mistaken about JDM FD's, if I am correct then your car is a 93, you can also tell by your Tachometer, if there are line inbetween the 1000 to 1500 increments then it is a 93 as 94's don't have those.

I think only the USDMs had a passenger side airbag with that unique dash.
I have seen a few series 7 FDs running around without it.
A Series 8 JDM FD with a passenger airbag looks like a 93 dash with a cut out for the airbag
Have a look at this Spirit R here

Makes me wonder about mine.....I was pretty convinced I had a '94 R2 until I looked at your VIN.

Mine had the suede seats from the R models, dual oil coolers. Textured gauge plastics etc.

But the VIN doesn't say "type-r", and the VIN suggests Aug 93?

I have all the original documentation that came with the car when it was sold...Only issue is...I cannot read Japanese




EDIT: Also, looking at the hatch from the underside, you can see where the R1/2 spoiler holes have been welded up (If you look closely).

I wonder what does Suspension Specs means...

Mine doesn´t have suede Seats.

Anyway I had to choose between mine and the one on the attached VIN, sold as 95 Specs. Type R is better than Type RS ??

I finally took mine because of the aftermarket parts on it, which I have not found them in detail yet...
