I did read somewhere that the 96' vr came in 4spd and in 97 they all became 5spd.

This whole thing has led me to want a manual gearbox.

After that a custom y pipe,ecu and tune would be sweet as.

All vRs are 97 onwards...

Does it have electronic climate control and or folding mirrors?

manual thermostat he means manual A/C, ie no climate.
Having said that, lately I've seen quite a few cars with manual climate, and they were neither 4spds or pre-FCs. AGAIN, nothing to stop peeps from modding.
SAHIN has facelift with red seats, his mods...

Check the chassis code on Dwaynes site, see what you actually 'should' have.

Porque no los dos!

Edit: Actually true, that kinda defeats the purpose of a "replica" slightly.

Yeah, was never conclusive, so...

Regardless of whether it actually is a Nakaya, I wouldn't be modding that car.
It is your car, but you have a very rare combo.
Means BS to most, but it may hold something in the future.

HeRo wrote:What are the actual differences but?

The only mods so far are handling mods. The chassis number is what I'm going off from comparing on that site you gave.

Plus, the tranny atm needs a reco cos it's getting lumpy (some douche used the wrong oil temporarily)
So i thought i may as well manual it?
