the stamp is 1yr older than the chassis

Wouldnt that be one year younger to work like that? Its 95, if it was one year older wouldnt the car be 94? But if it was younger it would be 96.

Anyway You had it going just that its younger over older for the chassis.

94 motor = 95 car
93 = 94
99 = 00

etc.

Edit: <FONT SIZE="2">My info here is wrong</FONT> i forgot that later the year older the car.

It's a 96, I know because my RS motor is that year too. I pull a car fax and said that it came from a 96 RS. 96 and up is OBDII
