All real R1's will have dual oil coolers.
Look in outer air intakes in front bumper.
Touring cars have one on the driver side only.

Sorry, didn't mean to sound like a dick earlier.

You can make a base model look like a R1/R2 from the outside. R1 has a front lip and dual oil coolers, no sunroof as with the base.

Tourings have glass sunroofs and rear wiper, PEP/PEGs have painted sunroofs and no rear wiper.

I have a non glass sunroof, and a rear wiper, Bose crap, leather and foglights, spoiler and the tell-tale (apparently) fog light switch in the center console.

I'd say Touring based on the BOSE alone.

What's with this reverence for Tupac Shakur? I think it's terrible he got gunned down, but what's up with people getting all offended and treating him like a saint? He was a gangsta rapper for crissakes. It's like people who get all misty eyed over Elvis who was a drug addict who shot up TV's and Panteras.

Keep your name man, it's a free country.

Glass Sunroof were a 94 only option - MOST Touring/PEP/PEG's have metal sunroofs the biggest clue to an R-1/2 is the Imitation Suede seats and the fact they NEVER have CRUISE control or Autos and almost never have Sunroofs (rumor has a couple special order R-1 sunroof cars out there but I doubt it) - all Autos have a Tans Fluid Cooler that is identical (looking) to the Eng. Oil Cooler on the Pass. side.
Yes Leather, Sunroof, BOSE & Fog Lt switch = Touring for shur if also Has Cruise if not it may be a fully optioned BASE

There really were some R models with sunroofs. There's one pictured in The RX-7 Performance Handbook. And some overseas models came with a combination of Touring and R features. I've seen a number of them in British car magazines, for instance.

Regarding the oil coolers. If you want to install another one on the passenger's side to make it like an r1, would that be easy to do?
