question for the gurus

how much stuff can you take off of an s5 and put on an s3 (85 gsl-se) take for instance the shifter, cause the **** wont just fit on the s3 shifter , umm brakes, tranny? STEERING WHEEL?
i have a 1990 gxl s5 and its for sale but no one seems to have any interest so i think im gonna swap what i can to my s3 and part the rest of the car out

I know the SA/FB/FC/FD designations, but I've never really been familiar with the s3 s4 etc... ones..

Anyone care to clarify/list them?

your close, they are...

79-80 = S1
81-83 = S2
84-85 (SE or not, doesn't matter) = S3
86-88 = S4
89-91 (no such thing as a 92 rx7 in america) = S5
93-95 = S6
The one thing I'm not sure about is whether the 96+ cars that were still made in japan are S6 cars, or whether there is enough differences to call them S7. Whatever, that really doesn't matter to us now does it.

I know it's off-topic but the answer is yes there are differences... New Zealand imports trillions of 2nd-hand cars from Japan (most cars here are imports) and the 1996+ RX-7 is definately a series 7.

My little brother imported 3 crash damaged ones and got 2 mint S7's out of it. I couldn't tell you what the main differences are but I know our new crash impact laws don't allow the S6 to be imported anymore but the S7 is fine. I suspect that mecanically they are very similar.
