The GSL-SE has the 13B, fuel-injected engine, bigger brakes, special 14" wheels,
to name 3 things.

The GSL was fully loaded with options,but had little/no performance advantage over the lesser models.Many would say it performed WORSE than the S and GS cars because it was heavier,with the same 101HP engine.

The GSL-SE took all the luxury and options of the GSL,but added a 6 port 13B fuel injected engine with 30% more power and torque.The rearend ratio was lower(4.07) and it had bigger disc brakes all the way around.It also had a more common 114.3MM lug pattern,so aftermarket wheels are easier to find.The only options on the SE were power steering and leather.The basic GSL-SE engine was mildly worked over and altered for duty in the 2nd gen,where it powered all non-turbo RX-7's until 1992.

Yeah.. I agree.. 80's styling.. brown was in. At least there was never an orange RX.

Sneezy.. the car will be here on Monday. I need to find a rear window mounted bike rack for it.

Nah...Take both wheels off, and the bike fits in the hatch.
