Breaking news UPDATED

Post by newkid » Thu Oct 01, 2015 8:10 pm

Well I've kept quiet on this as I had my suspicions something wasn't right about the car. The fact the gearbox code was removed made me wonder and after popping driveshaft number one out tonight this is what I find.

Made a little vid to show its on the car in question

Sir s-spec

Try Sir only

I had some suspicions because the clocks you advertised for sale didn't have yellow needles too. S-Spec and Type-S all have yellow needles. :idea:

Doesn't have the yellow needles.

And now you can remove the "S-Spec" Ecu from your sale thread as well. :lol: :lol:

What's on the vin and does the vin match the chassis. It should say bb6 s-spec. Mine says bb6 type s.

I reckon it was an s spec at one point but blew engine and got a new engine and clocks to match.

I thought that too. If new kid really wants the answer jap vin numbers are recognised by Honda uk, I got them to check mine before it arrived.
