Your help needed! Help us to decipher the VR-4 CAPS / ASA codes!

Greetings VR-4 owners!

As some of you already know, a few of us are working to document the variants of the Galant and Legnum VR-4's, this will allow us to build a web-based form for club members to find out how many / which cars rolled out of the factory with which options.

Firstly, you can access the list of chassis codes for 8th Gen Galant Saloon VR-4 and 8th Gen Galant Estate VR-4 / Legnum VR-4 (EC5A-xxxxxxx and EC5W-xxxxxxx respectively) by going to this link, Mitsubishi 8th Gen Galant & Legnum VR-4 Registry, and as more information is deciphered, more information will appear on this online spreadsheet in tabs (sheets) at the bottom of the page.

This is where we need your help, if you open the spreadsheet above you'll find a list of EC5A (Galant) and EC5W (Legnum) chassis codes, please locate your vehicle in that list and look at each of the Classification Code / Option Code / Exterior Code / Interior Code columns, each will be colour coded as follows:

• All information decoded and most likely accurate
• Possibly inaccurate and/or missing information
• No information available at all, help needed!

When you find your vehicle, you can look up what the codes mean in the tabs at the bottom. Even if every one of your vehicles codes are green, please double check to make sure we've got the information correct, but please bear in mind these state what the vehicle left the factory in, people do change interiors / options after they left

If you find any particular code for your vehicle is yellow or red, please let us know your chassis number and as much information about your car as possible, including photos if possible. Information we do not need to know are engine spec, gearbox type or body shape. Everything else we will need to know, such as seat kind and pattern, dash colour, wheel type and colour, window tint, etc etc.

You can either let us know by replying to this post, or you can drop me a PM with all the details if you want to keep it private.

We will endeavour to populate this further by doing research in the ASA/CAPS system, but this will go a lot quicker if everyone gives us a minute of their time to let us know what makes their VR-4 unique

Thanks in advance

Some people are pointing out they're not sure what information they should be giving us, and in all honesty we're not sure of absolutely everything we need to know either! People tell me I should lead by example, so to help I'll give an example of mine..
