So, I've finally got the funds together to sell my ST184 GTS and get an ST205 either imported or buy one that's already landed. Assuming I get a '94, I'm wondering how do you tell if it's one of the 2500 WRC homologation models? Does it have a plate on the dash or something? I've seen a number of adds where people claim it's a WRC car just because it's a GT-Four. I'm not holding out for one but I'd certainly pay extra for it if I came across one.

QUOTE (tankd0g @ Mar 5, 2012 - 9:18 PM)  Is there a FMIC in those cars or just a sprayer for one they used in racing? No FMIC.....it has the same top-mount W2A charge cooler as the non-WRC's. The "sprayer" he is referring to is 3 nozzles in the bumper that point towards the chargecooler's heat exchanger. There are much easier ways to tell whether it is a WRC though. Just pop the hood, look at the charge cooler, and look for a canister with a bunch of Japanese writing on it sticking off of it instead of just a hose. |

Thanks everyone, I guess none of the cars I have seen pictures of so far were a WRC but I didn't expect there would be many left in Japan anyway.
