Well as we have seen a lot on the year/model and some are confused, here are

One should obtain the correct year/month date of his car in order to make
sure he gets the correct parts.
The year/month combination derives from the chasis serial number as follows:

I somewhere have the rest of the 93 and the 94 numbers as well as the
European ones till 95 but not available right now.
European etc models start out from 89 12 It seems that cars into the US
started from Jan 90 production batches.
All are manufactured at the Central Sagamihara Plant (whoever is the owner!!)
