Top 10 Questions - The Questions

Are you guys SURE about the Type V specs..?
Both me and my colleague have pre-facelift manual Legnums with 205/55r16 tyres, hi-contrast displays and AYC.
This wouldn't be possible according to the specs in this thread... (hope I haven't read it wrong!!)

I thought the only differences with the Type S were 225/50r16 tyres, Recaro interior (option) and they were all tiptronic. So, if you have a manual VR-4, it MUST be a Type V.

Have you read my last post?
All prefacelift have 205/55r16 tyres, both type S and type V

From what you're saying it seems like you have a type S
I have a Type V facelift with Recaro interior.. Even though it seems that most manual VR-4 are Type V it doesn't mean that all have to be..

There is no such thing as a pre-facelift Type-V. There was a VR-4, or a VR-4 Type-S. Nearly all pre-facelifts are Type-S, and nearly all are Tips, but manual was an option.

The type-V was introduced with the 1998 facelift.

Gotcha.
Didn't realise that the pre-facelift Type S had a manual option.
I was treating that as the main factor in thinking mine wasn't a Type S.

Thanks dudes.

Not sure about the engine oil recommendation, seems like an 'oily' recommendation to me Amsoils TSO 0w-30 is superior to both and will last longer, let the engine run cooler and with less pumping losses ie more MPG and MOre available power.

Is that the best oil to go for then? Just gonna do mine this weekend...

[elnevio]

0w-30 rules!

Though it is now the SSO, rather than TSO.

from what i have researched, type-s has the option of manual and auto. and type v is only auto. Not sure though cause there is a guy around my area saying that mine is missing things a "lower version". But from what I have found it is a type s not a V, so i got no idea what he is on about

[bradc]

For facelift Legnums that is right!

[Smashdy]

yeah i got a facelift..
