noob question
« on: Jul 26, 2008, 10:43PM »
k this is probably gonna sound really stoopid but how do you tell the difference between a u12 or u13?
I just bought a 1991 Ford Corsair hatchback this arvy immaculat interior and exterior except for slight dent in passenger door but thatll be heaps easy to push out.
picked it up for $700 in forster nsw, just gotta do my cv joints and a couple of little things :D!! then blueslip

U12 is your Pintara and Corsair likewise. Early 90's. Box Shape. (Better Choice Though ;))

U13 is your Bluebird. Mid 90's. Rounder shape.

Theres heaps of different things to look out for. The U12 is more squarish and the U13 is more round. U12 (if its stock) will have either the CA20E Engine or KA24E whereas the Bluebird (if its stock) will have the KA24DE or SR20. Both FWD excepting the SR powered Bluebird in which case it will be AWD.

Also U12 Pintara and UA Corsair (which is what you have) have some subtle differences in body kit and so on.

Do a search on the top right and all will be revealed stooge.... oh and welcome as well.  ;D

P.S

Search in the Wiki articles and you will see more U12/UA differences.
Ill fight you. May even throw a bar of soap your way. Maybe a few wax strips and some clip on brembo brake calipers for your fooly sic civic.

Think they were referring to the HPI mag that labelled the U13 bluebird as an N13 Bluebird when they featured it in their 'obscure import' section or whatever they call it.
