Forgive me for this (only know about 1st Gen FB\'s), but won\'t the VIN NO. give a clue?

The UK FB\'s deffinately all start \'JMZFB......\' and the UK FC\'s I think are \'JMZFC......\'

So if your\'s is an FD it should be contained somewhere in the VIN as \'XXXFD....\'...?

I\'m putting XXX because if yours is an import from Japan it might not have exactly JMZ in it.

Hope that adds up to some sort of sense.

Does it have 2 oil coolers? (look through the left and right openings on the front bumper)
If it does have 2 then it\'s at least a type R.
Other than that the differences are small and to be honest dont really matter that much. Things like suspension and brakes are the only big differences
