Looks like a gsl rear end to me. I would think 4x110, but I'm not familiar with the jdm cars.

^^took the measurements of the pattern and it's the 4x100. Only the turbo ones came 4x114.3. Nonetheless I'm heading back tomorrow to see what I can take from it...it has a racing beat header, exhaust (brand unknown at this time), 13b and whatever else you see suspension wise, and posi traction as well.

Anyhow, I thought I share with you'll this rare sight at my local junk yard.

Nice find. The rear end is not posi though. All disc brake RX-7's came with a limited slip differential. Are you able to buy the entire car??

You're right about the LSD. I don't need the car, although I'm staring to think I can use it as a mock up platform form my 20B build, but then again I don't have space at the house anymore.

I managed to get some eibach springs from it and the rear seats.

BTW can someone tell me what are the specs in these springs? I've done some googling but no luck!

Unfortunate to see it down at Pick N Pull, I believe I met the previous owner of it a few years ago when we actually had a small rotary meet going down at the Pig Stand.

Was there anything left on it after you went? I could definitely use the Racing Beat stuff.

For the one that asked about the chassi, it's a SA22C. It had rear seats, but they are mine now and I'm planning on going back in a few if no tomorrow to pick up the EXahust. Mine is crap!

All JDM (&other non-US) 1st gens are SA22C VINs, if i recall correctly.

Only the US-bound 81-85 cars were switched to FB series VINs for Gov't mandated reasons.
