No GSL's in 1979 or 80... Not even Limited Edition.

Limited Edition 1979 was Black with leather.

85 MPH speedo started after 1979... I think it was 1981... 1979's had 130 MPH speedos.

The black 1983 is a GS... Sunroof, but drum brakes.

Someone please convince me that I'm not obsessed with RX-7's because I know all this? Please add something that I missed. I'm gonna feel like a looser if theres nothing to add.

...

A looser that knows a lot about RX-7's

Actually, the 85 mph speedo started on the 80. 79 did have the 130mph model.

that is an 80 , not a 79.
80 is the only year of that body style with that gauge cluster.

Also the 80' is the only year with those two little black pieces of rubber right under the rear bumper strip, 79' didnt have those. I too am a RX-7 junkie I guess.

Well, also cars made after 06/79 were called 1980 models.
In todays cars I think that bumped to 08 from 06, not sure on this.

So did you buy a fire extinguisher for that leaky carb? Or will Mojo become "ole smokey"? Only you can prevent engine fires.

Hey You both are losers, I know this because it takes one to know one, and i know both of you idiots.

The way i see it is no one has to know!!! What goes on the forum stays on the forum. and that way our social lives ( what little there is ) will stay intact.

Yup, the interior was completely redone in '84. Everything from then ventilation to the dash.
