Is there any way of determining the model type of the car (\'92 import) from the VIN no.  The reason i ask is that my Insurance Co. has asked for a copy of the Log look to do just this :confused:

Mazda might be able to tell you, if not there should be 2 white stickers in the door shut telling you the model etc?

Might be difficult though cos aint it in japaneese?

Just looked at mine, only sticker i have tells me what the tyre size is suppose to be. =/ dont think i\'ll ever know the type mine is.

There is only one sticker on the door shut, saying what the tyre pressures are....
There is a label on the seatbelt showing that is is a \'92.
It has 2 oil coolers (the manual shows only 1...)

Confused :confused:

Think i\'ll give Mazda a ring unless anyone else has got any other ideas...

It does have a sticker under the bonnet, but it is Heiroglyphics or something :D .
The car does have 2 oil coolers, front and rear strut braces (factory) & no cruise control.

Are the type R good?

Ehh these repsonses were here earlier.

Anyway, to find the oil coolers look in the two holes under the front indicators.  If there is one either side its a Type R.
