R1 or not?

Is my car an R1 or not? It's a 93 with leather, sunroof and rear wiper.
But it has also got twin oil coolers, OEM strut brace and R1 front lip w/brake ducts. Is there anything else that the R1 was equipped with?

Most likely not. No R1's were equipped with leather, sunroof or a rear wiper and I don't think anyone in their right mind would go through the trouble of adding these. It's most likely a touring model that has been given the R1 upgrades.

no becuase of the sunroof...unless someone added that after the fact...if you have a auto..you are seeing the trans cooler not the 2nd oil cooler

Yeah, the R package didn't have a sunroof or leather seats.

Seeing as how you're from Europe, you probably don't have a 'made for US' car. The R1/2 package was a US thing. Do you know what the origins of your car is? If In the Japanese domestic import, there were 5 different models available.

No auto.. It's a second oil cooler, that's for sure! It's hooked up to the right side one.

You're probably on to something there Jspec. Must be some sort of european version. Would have been better if it was an R1 though, sounds much cooler! What do the US Vin start with? Mine is like: JMZFD13B2001*****

I've seen British cars that have both R-1 and Touring features. They had the faux-suede seats, strut tower brace, and spoilers, but also a sunroof. And they came that way from the factory. The Europeans got a different option package than the U.S. did. I don't think we here in the States know whether your car has the other true R-1 features such as the second oil cooler and the firmer suspension.

The best I can tell you is to look at the sticker in the passenger side door jamb. On my car under Suspension it says "Std S" . See if your's says something like Sport or R-1.

Thats not normal.. If you have the second cooler and its stock then its an R-1 with some pre-build options... Otherwise its just an add on cooler...
