if you don't take the effort to list anything why do you expect anyone else to do it for you?

but that definately looks like a series 4 base model.

Daoism (Taoism) talks about the importance of the emptiness or the holes in a wheel or picture but Mazda just screwed it up with your rims, I guess if you like it tho thats a +.

Enjoy another pic of my car:

No not always... here in the states, those rims were optional or standard on the Base, the Luxury coupe and the SE. All available in 87.

But his is a Base...

Yep! Canadian base model GX w/ sunroof its why I posted it as a comparison to his S4 base model. These base rims are nicer IMO.

well, no... you posted a S5 coupe with 5 lug wheels and S4 mirrors... not even the same thing... not even the same ball park.

If your car is a S5 GX it would be the equivelent to the US spec base strippy 89-90 GTU.

Maybe you didn't get the model differences...

The US had a Base model, the Luxury coupe, and the SE all with 4 lug wheels in 87. I don't think Canada even got the Base model, and your GX was the same as the US spec Luxury coupe in 87.

Not even the same ******* sport.... to quote Pulp Fiction.
Anyway, a lsd will run you anywhere from a hundred or so if you can find someone that wants to get rid of it locally, to 3-400 or even more at a junk yard. For reference, I was quoted 300 for a s4 TII rear end at a junk yard, but they generally have pretty good prices.

And gus, yours is probably a sport model. Its basically a base, but with 5-lugs and the better brakes. Check out the "what did my FC come with" thread stickied on the 2nd gen main page.

huh my s5 is weird then... it doesn't match at lot of things on the "what did my fc come with" for 1990 GTU (GX?). No standard spoiler, matching color rearview mirrors, it has fog lights, no door inserts, it has cruise control.

Canada's 90 GX model must be left over US 89 GTU's..

didn't think that they came with fog lights, rather they got the lame DRL in canada for S5 models.

And as mentioned above, your mirrors are not S5 mirrors... they are S4 mirrors.
