is this a 1990??

Hey this car was on a Ad saying its a 1990 RX-7, As far as i know, i haven't seen any that look like this, maybe i see 89's more, but this looks to me to be a 3rd gen rx-7. It says it has a LSD rear end too, what is that exactly? thanks for any info!

In the US the 2nd gen stop production in the middle of 1992 and started producing the 3rd gens in the last half of the year til 1998. The 99 jspec I believe was produced in europe. All this was due to the fact the Miata came into the picture running just the convertable 7 and Miata in 92

You can't really mistake a 3rd gen for a 2nd gen. They have that whole thing going on where they look like completely and totally different vehicles.
