The cross brace ahead of the rear pod and the addition of the shock were the main differences The chassis is also different. I believe this was the last 1/12 scale car Associated offered in fiberglass version. After this, they are have carbon fiber chassis. A nice collection BTW.
Quite right mate it's a LW. Thanks very much. Have quite a few of these in varying conditions as I truly love the early 12s.

Another way to see the various chassis plates through the life of the 12i. The left is the original with no springs for the suspension at the front and smaller cut outs for the rear suspension creating less rear flex, the second is the version that does not have the monoshock front holes drilled into it but is made for the sprung front arms for the iS spring suspension and the right is the last of the 12i chassis that allowed either the iS or monoshock front suspension.
