Braf, suggest you get the model number off the VIN plate on the bulkhead (behind the engine) and cross reference it with the model listing here:

which side is your oil filler cap on?
easy way to check is if your filler cap is on the right its a gr, if its on the left its a mivec.
both have very simuliar performance, on a gr itl kick in just over 4.5 revs, mivec comes in a little later.

iv driven both and to be honest theres not THAT much between them in regards to performance.
