Title: What is mine?
Post by: framey on April 30, 2004, 03:04:26 AM
Hi,
I know there have been questions in the past about the different model types, but I still can\'t figure what model my Gen 3 is.

My reg document just say\'s "Sport".

I\'d like to try and register mine as a 1.3 and thought I\'d try and sort out the model type at the same time.

My car is an Auto, it has two oil coolers, & seats in the back. it is supposedly a 1992 model. Chassis #FD3S 105119.

Using your skill and judgement, can anyone help me out?

Thanks

ps, where is the engine # located?

No expert, but did the Type R\'s have an auto option as well?

Hiya Framey, could be a type X touring if it\'s an auto, also came with electric sunroof, leather seats and Bose sound system. Sorry can\'t help with the location of the engine number. Best regards Leigh.
Title: 1.3 ?

The Registration documents for my type RB say it\'s a 2.6 litre.  Just like those cretins at insurance companies.

Has anyone succeeded in getting a FD registered as a 1.3 litre?

I could do with the saving on Road Tax!!!
