So it would be USDM UA5 = JDM Inspire

J32A1 in the premium model, and J32A2 in the Type-S model.

1997+ NSX 6 speeds have the C32B, automatics retain the C30A
1996 - 2004 RL has the C35
1st generation 3.2 TL has the C32A6

Inspire -> the name of our car in Japan; they don't do alphanumeric names over there like they do in the U.S.

UA4 is for the Japanese J25 Inspire (a small V6 we dont nor would want to have here)
UA5 is for the 99-03 TL/J32 Inspire
