Finally got enough time to take some pics and post them up.

I only just got this and hevent really been able to drive it yet.

Its a late '97 model, and after looking at numerous other lines, this was in the best condition. It is pretty stock except for tanabe suspension, hks exhaust, hks pod, hks turbo timer, personal steering wheel, blitz boost gauge, razo pedals, and razo gear knob. Also has quite a few options from factory. Points awarded for people who can spot them...

So far im happy with it, gives me a smile whenever i drive it. Have a list of mods in my mind, but wont be until funds allow it.

Just thought i would post some pics of it.

Yeah tints are on the list. Yeah, planning to make it a nice street car. Got a few ideas in my mind about what i want the car to turn out like. Im drawing inspiration from so many other lines, along with a few of my own.

Yeah Tom i got it from Joel. Very happy so far, have had no problems and he looked after me very well. You have a good eye/memory to spot it. How long ago did you get yours?

I thought 40th aniversary models came in 1998??? Should post your VIN in the fast thread to check and see if the seats just havent been replaced as your missing hte 40th aniversary badges on the outside.

Reason I question is I have an end of year 97 model too and mine isnt the aniversary edition.

Cheers

Chris

not saying its not a 40th anniv. because i know the very late 97 models were as well, but I thought the 40th anniv. editions would have had the sideskirts standard etc.

badges arent a major factor, even im thinking about removing them from my 40th anniv...

Dezz - if you remove them from your car - can you let me know as I wouldn't mind putting them back on mine - they're missing from when it arrived :sick:..

As for 97's being 40th annv.. well.. could be some however majority are just SII not 40th annv.. however i'm not going to tell you it is or isn't - you can possibly check in FAST but can't remember if it says it is or not..

Did you get A-LSD? How many KM's does it have on it?

How's it drive? you happy with it?

Also - as everyone usually says - go and get a full service.. e.g. Engine Oil - filter, gearbox oil, diff oil maybe spark plugs as well..

Althought they are "meant" to be changed at compliance - no guarantee and it won't hurt prob cost a couple of 100 but it'll be worth it..

ill see how i go links..im un decided...and even if i do choose to take em off, id have to do it without affecting the paint...

FAST wont actually say it is or isnt a 40th anniv, but all the 98 built 1's were....

there are people on here that say LATE 97 models were also, but yeah, 1998 models are for sure as thats the actual 40th year i beleive...

Yeah the car drives really well. The suspension ist too hard, but im still getting used to it. The fuel economy os pretty good as well. Its costing a bit to get on the road, but thats the price you pay.

Has 67k km and no a-lsd. Im still trying to research what is the best oil and spark plugs to use and all that. As no one can really tell me how to identify if its a 40th anniversary from the vin or anything, im happy to believe that it is.

      You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.

      98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.

      95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".

      Yeah since those first 2 replies I actually went and put some 98 in it and tbf it's already doing much better than the 95 (which is weird and makes my inner tinfoil hat wearer think the 95 was a crap batch), getting 8ish around town. Again, wonder if it takes a while to stabilize if the fuel is changed a couple of times. I swear cars used to just either run "well" or "s**t* in my 20s, none of this fuel optimisation business haha
