Difference along the Years.....

Cool, Dutchie, you have the same car interior as mine. Funny thing, I met a guy in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) and he had a red Vx. His seats are Recaro but they were leather, a black and white combi. I asked him if they were original and he said yes....

I guess there are a few undetected ones out there....

Next step... Leather seats,.... then sound system....

Hi ameetw,

It could be a LTD version, since they have leather seats..but I`ve never heard of the white/black combi.
Red\black�@or grey/black...
Were his doorpannels red or grey, I mean the grey material(in our case) around the carbon inserts.
If they were grey, than it`s as fake as those cd`s you can buy on the blackmarcket, but if they were red then it`s a genuine 175 LTD version.

PS I would pass on the leather seats, if I were you, the hot weather will make your seats hoooooot!

I wonder if that steering wheel attaches the same way or if there's a collar necessary? I'd love to have the Momo wheel over that cumbersome POS that's on there. I'll take a chance if you can get it for around $100 US. If it's more than that I'll pass.

Well I guess it's a fake.... Malaysia... go figure!!
About those Leather seats which I'm getting, they are not real leather, It's called korean Leather here. They look just like leather, minus the cash and the heat. I've used them in my other car for about 4 years now, still in perfect condition. They cost about 120 USD to stitch and install. Custom Color...
Any Ideas on the combi?? .... no Red and black please, it's already on my other car, and the car is silver too.

Ok John I`ll try, a $100,- that`s ��12000yen....ok , I can`t guarantee though if it will fit...although I`m sure you can make it fit! Anyway if nothing works it`s still a nice collector item!

Ameetw, apakabar, I`m often surprised by the quality of the fake stuff they sell!;eekr; N1 my honky/aussie friend gave me a set of fake jaos mudguards...beautiful!
What colour would look nice with silver...I`d say black/gray.

You would THINK (in theory) that the JP steering wheel would fit, and if not that you can MAKE it fit, but watch out! I emailed about a Momo with airbag from the WRX, and they told me it would not fit because of the mounting hub. I'm not saying this one won't, but even making it fit when it wasn't designed to may end up being not a very safe thing to do.

Not only that, but the shipping will probably be another $75!

Oh, and TRU DAT!

[dutchie]

No worries, I can send it by pigeon, if you want me to
I`m the one sending it, and therefore it won`t cost a cent more than the possibilities available! Horse, surface, air, space shuttle, you name it..
Does it fit? I have no idea....won`t even try to guess.
But like we say in Japan: no try, no know, miss chance, die ignorant.

And I guess they have a point there.

Nothing against you, Dutchman. Even if it does fit, a cover of some kind will have to be fabricated to cover that gaping space at the end of the steering column. I hope it does fit!

Electric blue and black would look really standout.

Hey, couldn't tell much from the first pic, but the auction pic - hey, that isn't half bad. I like it. I don't know why some hate the one we have now though... I love the red-orange/black wheel. If you could put the center emblem off the JP version and put it on the US version and I think that might be pretty slick.

[Dallas4u]

I'm not big on the Isuzu emblem on the JP version, but I do love the three spoke. If we could have a three spoke version, WITH red/black option, AND the perforated type holes in the grips... oh, and if we knew that the hubs worked with the US version, I'd be all over this auction.
