VIN number decoding

[cooljess76]

Killer, Thanks Mal! So it came with LSD and ASC+T(I've deleted the ASC+T for my swap). Hopefully I could get a fair amount for that diff.

Hi Mallard, Thanks, you're a star! I've had the car since April and I've added OBC and Auto dimming mirror. Hope to add PDC and IPOD kits at some point and then perhaps upgrade the wheels to 18's. Lovin' it so far, thanks for your help. Keith

Can you check as99193 for me? Thanks!

Hello Mallard,

Could you also check AR28637 ?

I'm very curious to learn if I have the S704A M-Sports suspension package. I'm the second owner of this car, but I have a lot of documentation from the first owner. A spec sheet would be a very nice addition.

It would be nice to know if it has the CS 25% limited slip diff. If not, then I'm going to add that a.s.a.p.

Thank you very much in advance !

Erik
