Required Forms for Car classification

[Duc]

Does a full form have to be filled for an additional model year in a line item? Or can I cheat and say see previous year.

Also what about imported models, where compression, or gear ratio's changed? Do those get submitted separately or even can those get submitted?

Thanks,

Derek

Please provide some sort of documentation that shows that your proposed additional years were really the same car as one already listed.

See the very first paragraph of the IT rules. Only US models are allowed in IT.

So the filled out fully then.

Excuse the insomnia on that one.

What I meant was package options that were brought into the US market at the the manufacture level. For example on the Celica there is an "Action Package" which is a different front, sides, and rear plastic. Generally these packages are parts from different markets.

Would the same apply for things like a gear ratio change?

Thanks,

The options have to have been sold in the US market. That they might have been sold in a different market is totally immaterial.

Ok thanks got the options. Now should I include all factory options that were listed then in the VTS. Or is that something that is not decided at a VTS level, and is up to the owner to prove?

Thanks again,

Derek

Since you are asking about gear ratios: that's one of the items that gets published in the ITCS. If you want us to publish some specific ratios, just tell us what we need to know. If you have documentation, share it with us. Don't assume we're experts in your car. Don't overthink this -- just give us info that we can act on, that preferably doesn't send us into a huge research project. Those are the ones that get tabled for a long time while the research happens.
