Default RoW...what is special about it?

i would like to know what makes them more like an rsa or just different from the run of the mill USA mkt c2. I see many are slick tops. Are there any other intrinsic differences? They appear to have standard door cards. Thanks for any insights.

Hi,

The rear bumper is different (flatter), it came with H4 headlights (vs H5 in the US which does not look as good and does not light as good), suspensions were lower and 92-94 cabriolets did have rear seats (vs a delete due to not wanting to comply with 3-point seatbelts).

As far as I am concerned with my 93 cab, I am planning on addressing the suspensions, the headlights and the rear seats but don't care too much for the euro rear bumper.

Cheers,

Probably lots of little detail changes (like headlights), but nothing big. Sans sunroof is the main ticket here, and many seem to be very low mileage and in unique colors. All that combined makes for a rare and $$$ 964. Almost all US coupes have sunroofs, and it's a nice weight savings from a driver's perspective. Makes for a simpler car also, like basic seats, no radio or manual windows...

The transaxle was geared differently (better), the North American cars had taller gearings to avoid the "Gas Guzzler tax".
