Spirit R question
I been searching around on some Japanese used cars sites and There is several Spirit R's listed. most of them are listed as 2003. I also found some listed as 2002. Comming from a FC background Im not fully up to speed on FD's. Can someone share some Spirit info. I know that there is 1500 of them, Type A , B and C.

(whips out Spirit R Japanese brochure)
Seems to be 3 types - A, B, C, and Type R Bathhurst.
Tranny - A, B, and Bathhurst are 5-speed. C is automatic.
Type A has the boss Recaro seats, the BBS 17" wheels. The A also doesn't have back seats, has the "skid plate" on the passenger floor.
Type B looks to have leather seats, typical FD seats at least, not the fancy Recaros. Also looks to have the BBS 17" wheels. Back seats.
Type C is automatic, BBS wheels.
Bathhurst looks like the stripped-down model. 16" wheels, bobo looking E-brake and parking brake boot, cloth seats.
Not sure what year my brochure is for - I *think* it's a 2002. From what I remember, FD production ended August 2002.
If you need more detailed info, I can scan some pages in for you. That's as good as I can do without knowing Japanese .

so I called two of the shops on that website today. the ones selling 2003 and asked them to look at the title. and they said the title is year heisei 15 nen. so they kept saying it a 2003. year heisei 15 = 2003

they seem to go for about 3.5million yen or thereabouts for the average example (they were around 4million when new). The production run began in april 02 and finished in august. I would say the cars were first registered in heisei 15.
