couple easy indicators...
1st&3rd gens are water-air cooled
2nd&4th gens are air-air cooled
1st&2nd gens come with ct26 turbos. found in 165's&185's
3rd&4th gens come with ct20 turbos. found in 205's&215's
soo... yea those should help make it easy.
and yes there are other differences (ie. cam duration, ecu's, pistons, etc) but i'm pretty sure those are the easiest ways to tell.
plz correct me if any of my info is wrong.

not to be a smart a$$ but, he can't tell if the intercooler is W2A or A2A and you're telling him about cam duration ?

ST185 RC ( see the black intercooler ) that's Water to air intercooler that's the main difference between a ST185 and ST185 RC



normal ST185 look at the intercooler


hope this helps
