Hi , i have a 88 10th anv. TII (375hp) and i am looking into getting a 85 1st gen. #1 what is a good price for a 85 with about 100k miles that is all stock with no probs.$ 2,000.00 or so ? #2 how many lug studs are on a 85. 4 or 5 ?

Thanks,
PAUL

 

There are 4 lugs on '85 Rx-7s. $2000 is too high for a run-of-the-mill Rx-7, but if it's in showroom shape or something, then it might be considered a good buy.

 

Thanks man . I needed the info. So in great shape $1,500 ?

 

Yeah, use your best judgement. Pay particular attention to the wheel well rust and the upper control arm support. If it's rusted, offer much less or walk away.

 

If it's a nice GSL-SE though, $2,000 may be warranted...

Bigger engine (13B fuel injected), 4 wheel vented disc brakes, etc.

 

Ditto!

IMO the two best 1st gens that are available in the US were the '83 GSL and '85 GSL-SE.

-'83 GSL best setup with a 12a
-'85 GSL-SE best setup with the 13b

This is why I own one of each.

error402 - why does the 83 GSL have the best 12a setup?

 

And how does the 84 SE differ from the 85 SE engine to make it superior, I ask you?

 

BECAUSE I OWN ONE!! THAT'S WHY!!

Not much differences at all.

Taller 5th gear ratio for better milage.
720 cc injectors Vs 680 cc Injectors
Newer..

I *think* that they also had a small differences in the ECU and engine timing..

 

Didn't the rear end ratios differ slightly between 84 nd 85 SE's?

 

3.909/4.076

 

That's between a base model and SE model.

 

I meant between an 84 SE and 85 SE there is a difference in the rear ratio, really small but still different.
