ok so I would like to know what all these things mean as people ask me what certain things are and it would help if i knew lol

anyway heres some under-bonnet pics can anyone help me out please



>>would be interesting to know what specs "excellent" and "racing" and the others etc were!>>

Pretty crappy but Ill try.

First pic:
First line: In excellent condition
2nd line: Day inspected 1998/07/18
3rd line: No. of cylinder :4
4th line: Something with yes/no and they circled yes

2nd pic:
Bacsically ur car info
Faimly 3S, 1998 cc (2.0L) CO emission and HC...etc

3rd pic: Oil change right pic
Possibly Engine oil every 15k
"Somehting" every 12months
Then another oil change (dont know what it is) at 50k
THen I think the last one is trans oil (not sure)every 100k
On the left of that pic is the specs for changing timing belt.

4th pic is pretty much self-explain.

ah right so the first pic is some inspection rather than the car's specs. I do know the car was imported into the uk in 2003 so why they would do all that is in 1998 is a bit strange. must be a japanese thing :lol:

thanks for having a go at the others as well

First pic looks like a sticker from a service station/oil change. What kind of oil, date, mileage, how many liters, filter changed or not, etc.

Third pic is just maintence info: right side is when to change stuff: oil, oil filter, air filter, timing belt. left side is just same engine info as in pic 2, idle setting, etc.

cool, thanks for the info

basically i'm just trying to find out what bhp my engine is, I was told by the previous owner it was "10 bhp more than the uk spec, being a jap import" so its either 178 or 183bhp if thats right. I must admit to shouting "holy sh*t" the first time i took it to redline through 1st 2nd and 3rd

anyone with similar jap spec cars know any better?

It should be 177hp. No idea as to any differences between UK and JDM versions
