Brandon I believe that came out in 96 or 97.

I know yokomo USA is no more, they may have known for sure.

I picked this one up last night. I thought it was a heck of a price, especially with the ally parts: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330385869542

wow......Team Suzuki's aluminium parts .........lovely !!

For a future Vin nats----Does the yr4 and or yr4m2 fit into the 96 or earlier date

yr4 m2 = manual date of 1997
yr4 = manual date 1996

The manual for the yr4 11 shows 96. That means eligable i think.that manual has the chassis with flex top plateand different lower chassis is there an older version. I have one that has the solid top plate and different lower chassis

There was a carbon version of the YR-4 before the YR4-II came out: with a 1-piece top deck and different shaped lower chassis when compared to the original black fiberglass one indeed.

Yeah, I have 3 of those yr4's(gen1) NIP with the carbon chassis...It is called the yr4 special

I have 2 , fully loaded with alu parts on top. One is my driver touring car and the other is sorted out in spare parts. Got both, second hand and used, in Japan. They were pretty cheap and I ran it in several races (be it in the 'stock class').
Got a standard NIB YR-4 too, but that's parted out for spares and projects, and partially sold-off

I have one of those too. Is the carbon just plain black or like carbon fiber finish?

Mine has very strong brownish weave patterns, but since I got it second hand I have no idea if the chassis and other carbon parts are from the special kit or after-market.

Its woven carbon
