biased99 Forums Junkie Registered: May 2002	Re: Car names & numbers... Fri, 05 September 2003 01:08 It's something you get used to... I like Norbie's summation; If you're interested in a particular car, you'll get to "know the code" for it (and it's brethren). Also, a read of the appropriate articles helps in breaking down the nomenclature. For example: I have an MX83 Cressida. I know from the code that it runs an "M" series engine (7M-GE), has an "X" chassis (4-door sedan), and is an 83-series car (market-specific designation, AFAIK). As another example, a similar Cressida in, say, the Philippines, might be called an RX-80, which means it runs (in this case) a 22R engine, has the same "X" chassis, but is marketed only in that country (hence the "80" designation). In Japan, they have the JZX-81 Chaser - again, similar to mine, but it runs a "JZ" series engine (1JZ-GTE), same "X" chassis and a JDM-market code... A bit long-winded, but hope it "clarifies things a bit... Of course, my model code should now read UZX-83, as my Cressida now runs a 1UZ-FE...Hope that makes sense? [Report message to a moderator]
