How can you be so sure? Here is a brochure from 87




Sport is listed with Highback Reclining Bucket Seats, with the Twill Upholstry being standard only on the Turbo

 

Check out my link to the spec sheet from a 1987 brochure on the first page of this thread.

 

well then that means I have 2 sources of brochures for the 87 Rx7 to be wrong, because both of them do not list an SE, and the Sport is not listed with Twill Upholstry..Maybe thats an 88 brochure?

 

heres my 2nd source:

No dude, I have the brochure in my hand as we speak. If it was from 1988 there would be no listing for the Sport because it was replaced by the GTU.

This is really weird huh? I knew I wasn't crazy!

hmm....its not an 88 or an 86, wtf?? whats goin on here?

 

Maybe there were two versions of the brochure in 1987?

 

looks like it..maybe one for the early model 87s and one for the late model(in your case, which was 01/87 right?) that would make sense...

 

2 different brochures could be possible. there should be numbers on the back of them, an order code or something, my 88 brochure has a part number or 9999-92-010R-88 lates Matt22

 

My 1987 brochure:

Part #9999-92-010R-87 Rev. 3 March 1987

I'll scan some more pages from it tomorrow.

 

rev 3=revision 3? I think we found our answer

 

The reason I posted this thread was because I wasnt really sure what car I had but now know its a 88 GTU and not the sport I thought it was. So thanks for clearing a few things up for me. As far as seats go I dont give a F@%# ... lol

 

And only the 88 GTU had the smallest primary injectors also? 480cc?

 

All I want to know is, did the sport really lack an LSD?

 

 

they were 460, the same as all N/A FCs, not 480cc

 

The Sport did not come with a LSD

 

Hmmm, Okay I may be wrong, there may have been a late interior change that I was not aware of, I will do some research tomarrow with my buddy from Irvine and find out more. I suspect that it was about the same time as the injectors swithed and oyther minor mechanical things changed.

What was the last 6 digits of your VIN?

 

if you look in the biginning of the parts fische, it lists the colors and options and stuff.

#532564, let me know what he says about my car.

Hey we all make mistakes buddy, even the mighty Icemark. The funny thing is that before this thread I thought all Sports had the T2 interior so thank you for enlightening me.

Isaac

 

Hmmm,

According to Mazda the FB43 and FB69 models (S4 Sport/GS/GTU w/o and w/sunroof respectivly) switched at 528625 to the shiny semi-polished look wheels and other"minor mechanical and interior changes" were made. This is the same time that the Luxury model was re-named the SE in the USA. These changed lasted until the last of the 87 models (#550169) was made.

Did you also have the shiny semi-polished wheels?

It is intresting that I had never seen, nor heard of these 4200 (or so) Sports made this way. I will have to update my records.

 

As you can now tell, my post was not a bogus one. Yes, I also have the polished wheels and a glass sunroof. Do you happen to know more specifically what other changes were made? Thank you for looking into it.

Isaac

 

Glass sunroof was a dealer installed option if it doesn't say Pacific on it. The non-Pacific ones were part of the Finish Line accessories sold at dealers.

The injector impedance also changed at that time, and the fuel map was altered slightly (you should have a n327 ECU in there, not a N326 as all the other 86 and 87 models came with).

As far as interior changes it just looks like fabrics. I added your copy of the brochure to the What came with what sticky as a 87.5 brochure, although (and I mentioned this to a couple other people as well) I suspect this 87.5 exterior/interior change was a 49 state change and not applicable to the Californian models. Mazda can't confirm that however, as the records are too incomplete that long ago.

 

wow that is totally weird that Icemark didn't
know a fact about the 2nd gen. but hey, he
is only human, Lates matt22

 

Thanks for the information Icemark, you really do your homework.

By the way, do you think that your buddy at Mazda could gain access to the number of 323 GTs sold here in the United States in 1988? The GT was only sold here for that year and rumor is for only about 6 months or so.
