My pic is a bit pants as it was shot in a shadow I'll take another soon and post it up.

 

The one on mine is slightly curved to follow the shape of the window. I was looking for a new one for mine but haven't come across an OEM one.

 

As is mine, but you cannot get the curved type from anywhere replica or OE.

Unfortunately years of weathering and washing take their toll on the sticker and they start looking faded.

 

Good point. May have to order one, it's not as if mines 'standard' anyway!!

 

I need one of those it's on my list.

 

It would appear that you may by chance have a 'Type UK' 22B there Tyron.... by note of the lack of numbered plaque on the centre console and the headlamp adjuster switch

Have you noticed the gearing (particularly 1st) being quite tall?

Steve

 

I have a couple here.... i think



I'll be ordering some more shortly anyway, if anyone needs give me a shout

 

I can't say that I have noticed the 1st gear being tall, but then again I have no point of reference and I have been granny shifting the gearbox on the limited times that I have driven the car.

I thought it was a JDM car through and through, I do know some of it's history but there are some areas which need the details filled in which I am planning to get around to when the car comes off the road properly some time in early October.

The plan is at this point is for a full nuts and bolts strip down, there are areas of the paintwork which require attention and these will be sorted out when it has a full repaint including the engine bay area as part of the planned restoration project.

Well that's a spoiler for a future thread anyway.

 

I will certainly have one.

 

Here's the only interior pic i have to hand of my old JDM 22B, you'll notice the difference with the centre console and numbered plaque to the front of the coin tray:-



The 'Type UK' 22B's (of which there were just 16 made) had a blank plate where the plaque goes and were fitted with UK spec adjustable headlamps. They also had their CWP's changed from 4.444:1 to 3.9:1 (approx. 15% taller gearing), organic AP Racing twin-plate clutch and softer rear coil springs.

The transmission mods made a HUGE difference!


The only downside (if it is a Type UK) is you'll need to find one of these badges:-

....which may be difficult

 

You may have hit on something here. Ty, can you get access to its old plates it previously has and what us the first registration date on the V5C?

Also they didn't come with fog covers.

 

Yep, I'll have one too please!!!

 

Me too

 

I have a twin plate clutch on my car but I am unsure of the brand, I thought the JDM cars had a twin plate clutch and the UK cars had a single plate clutch though.

As for the gearing I will have to check that out, do you have any in gear comparisons for mph for me to check against?

I will have to carry out some further investigation Rob, this is like Alice going down the rabbit hole (no dirty references here please as I have already thought of them all).

 

Brian the newage sticker is different and you will find that on the RallyTech link I posted I believe.

 

Try this Ty, I think it costs a fiver and you have to be quite detailed and specific in what information you ask them as it actually goes across a desk.

Well I've bought a Lamco steering column mounted boost gauge in white, so that's one taken care of.

So I now need to find a set of three white Lamco gauges to contain oil pressure and temperature plus probably voltage as well.

Perfect Ty same as mine, you will have to have a look at mine at the meet.

 

Thanks Simon, I will definitely be taking a look at your setup.

 

Ty, if it does transpire that it is a Type UK I have something that might be of interest to you.

PS, don't use your new Prodrive mats just yet. :-)

 

Seen nice white blobeye on the way to Merthyr this morning

 

I don't think it is personally, it may have had the UK lights and adjusters fitted to it though at some time in it's past.

The Prodrive mats are still in the packaging, sealed up and untouched.

 

 

Okay no worries. I have some original Type UK 22B mats that I would have swapped for the Prodrive ones.

 

I'm interested nonetheless Rob, any chance of some pics?

 

 

 

Very nice Rob, I take it that there are no back mats?

 

There are but they are just plain the same as the Prodrive ones.

 

Would you like a nice new set of Prodrive mats in exchange?
