yaristurbo Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 i know this is in chassis but...what are the differences between the two in the whole car? reason i like the 98 spec but 96 one has become avaliable Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fremyjay Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Different seats, split rear bench, passenger airbag, different steering wheel, different rear lights, facelift bumpers. Thats all I can think of off top of my head, may of missed something!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim* Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Think the 96 clocks go to 110kph and the 98 go to 180 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fremyjay Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Im sure they are both 180kph Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim* Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Ahh wasnt 100% sure tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yaristurbo Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 can the rear seats be swapped for the later? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 different mirrors, white dials. im sure i read there were rumors they also had different cams as 98's seemed to make better power on TD's dyno? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fremyjay Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 You need different brackets as they split fold, sure the mounting points are there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Xpect Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Well, I speak for my NA, but if the 96 has a non splitable rear bench, then why has my 97 NA a splittable one? (with headrests even, but that's an optional on my car) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fremyjay Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 The 97 does come with a few of the extras as ive seen a few with passenger airbags Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yaristurbo Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) folding mirrors come on all? Edited September 5, 2013 by yaristurbo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fremyjay Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 98 yes, 96 not sure tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Post a pic mate, can usually tell by looking, the non powerfolding ones look like they were plonked on as an after thought, the folding ones look like they're meant to be there is the only way I can describe it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) Non folding are just colour coded uk mirrors, only came on poverty spec models of both 96 and 98 spec cars Edited September 5, 2013 by morgey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
