No such thing in an RX-7...is it vinyl, cloth or leather? Or did you hit a wrong key? Sounds like you have a GSL...

Not if you are in Seattle! I get the rear posi first! Find the entire rear clip for the lsd and do the entire swap.

posi = chevy. You mean Limited Slip Differential.

pleather is a specific plastic garment material. The seats are covered in vinyl.

And calcium is good for you

Most likely you have a North American spec S model with some options. There was more difference in 83 between the S and GS than in previous years.

The GS standard package included
a 6 speaker radio cassette
a centre armrest with storage compartment
graduated tinted windscreen
lights for the glovebox and cargo area
luggage holding straps
it usually came with cloth seats and sunroof while the GSL had stripped tweed or leather seats.

Options on all models included cruise control [$200] and sunroof [$325].

Hope that helps.

The Limited was a special run of the GS.

It only came in silver metallic with red cloth seats.

Standard equipment was a sunroof, cruise control, 14" alloy wheels, and the GSL audio equipment.
