Hey guys. I need help IDing this rx-7. from the looks of it, i'd say it's a GTUs. What do you guys think? also here's the beginning of the VIN# if that helps. JM1FC3318K0. Thanks.

 

odd... some of them don't work. I'll try to fix it.

Whoops.

 

Post them in the test forum.

This should work better.

yes it really looks like a gtu, but first off. what price is it going for, you know, if the frame is badly bendt, even if the machine that pulls frames to spec. you really need to know what your getting into. it seems that mig welding will be requiered also. the bad thing is, the metal will be already stressed when the pull it and shape it back into place, this is of concern cause ih high speeds, there could be unbalance and the car might shake, and god forgive the need to chop and weld another 7 front, very bad if in side impact accident...

don't worry. I've been doing body work for nearly 10 years now. I've done lots lots worse. Such as an FD that spun out on the highway and slammed the guard rail. Aluminum chassis suck to repair.

 

that can't be a GTUs can it?! i see a cruise control switch. did they come with that?

did it have power windows? or mirrors?

 

have no clue

 

check vin sticker on door
if 16 stock tire size, then its a gtus

 

for real i know, i am guessing salvage title, sweet, cause it should be really cheap then, do your thing man, cause once fixed, it will be a nice ride,

FC3S i think its a plan jane GTU

GTU came with stock 15 inch wheels

GTU'S came with stock 16 inch wheels

 

well, i can't really check the sticker. the car is a few hundred miles away from me at the moment. ^_^

 

those are the 16inch TURBO II/ GTUs wheels. i know.
well congrats on the car! if its a GTUs then youll be one of the few 1000 to have one. someone correct me on this.

 

i got a question, which model 7 can with the factory rader detector, i say a 7 with a mazda rader detector that was mounted on the steering colom and the "eye" module on the front grill. i say, mazda thought of everything in these babies lol

 

yup-yup. and out of the few 1000 in the US i think maybe 60% are still alive and kicking around

 

cool. Maybe i'll be reviving yet another one.

 

Looks like my car, but it's not a GTUs.

The rims are the correct 16" rims for a GTUs, but the seats (solid head rest) and the cruise control make it a base model.

Yes the GTUs has power mirrors. No power windows or power locks though.

 

I think it is a GTUs, no sunroof. and the seats just look like t2 seats to me IMO.

 

For one thing, I dont think there were many S5s without sunroofs. Also, The seats could have been changed, and Cruise control was available as a dealer installed option. All the wiring was already down the switch and actuator box just needed to be installed.

VeitFC, if possible, I would call the place that has the car and try to get them to get the tire info off the door tag for you. This would be your best bet.

 

the t2 seats have adjustable headrests. but like tony said, the seats and cruise *could* have been changed. the only way to know for sure if it is a true GTUs is the tire sticker in the door.

 

well it has the gtus wheels, no sunroof, no rear wiper, and those seats are the ones that came in the gtus. save the gtus!

 

I was unaware any FC besides the vert (i think) came with adjustable headrests. Shows how much I know about S5s.

 

That's lookin like a bad wreck.

The front end went back pretty far.

I'm betting there is some frame damage.
If so then you better buy that car for like $400
You'll need a new hood,fenders,front cover,bumper strip,bumper metal,and most, likely over flow bottle/maybe oil cooler/ac condensor.

Frame pulling costs money too.

 

S4 GXL, too.
