As title, I have a 98 classic, is mine one of those?, only asking as want to identify a part, thanks.

 

Yours is change over year between version 4 and version 5

Are your coil packs in the middle of the engine or off to one side?

 

ok mine is year 2000 with coilpack in the middle so whats that then?

 

What reg is your car and does your dumpvalve bolt onto the intercooler if so the coilpack should be to the right. If it is in the centre then it's a my 97/98, but it might have actually registered after 98. As an example I have seen bugeyes on a x plate, but saw a classic wagon on a Y plate.

 

u know what i just looked and the pack sits over on the passangers side or 2 the right as u look at the engine bay and my dump valve bolts on to the cooler

 

Yours is a version 6 then

 

Cheers chap

 

version 5 is no different to version 6 engine wise and the term version was only used on the jdm cars,for the uk classics it normally goes on the model year(MY) ,so a 1998 classic will be a MY 98(or a version 5 jdm,if built after oct 98) My t reg classic was a MY99(v5),my present W reg Is a My 2000(version 6 jdm).The link below should help.

The main differences between the sti 5 & 6 was the sti 6 got a front lip, the rear spoiler had a lip rather than a flat plane and the clutch had to be pressed to start the car.

Easiest to go by where the coil packs are, a phase 1 engine'd car has nothing on the inlet manifold, on a 1.5 the coil pack is in the centre of the inlet, on a phase 2 its off set to the right when looking into the engine bay.
Apart from that, versions were only ever used on STI's, from version 2 though to 6, all the rest are best regarded as domestic market and model year, it saves a mass of confusion, especially when ordering parts
