Haha that's a nice way to look at it... :)

Heh, funny thread. All my forum bucks are placed on Ted!

Hmm... my vert has no AC, AM/FM/CD player, PW, power mirror, PS. And I heve 16" wheels to put onto my vert. When I put those wheels on, is my vert qualified to put GTUs stickers?

I do hope that you're joking Kiyoshi??

Hell, you can put Porsche stickers on if you want. It's your car. Nobody (ok, almost) is going to believe that it's a GTUs or porsche.

The only people who would give a shit, wouldn't believe it was a GTUs...

you have a point the only people who are going to know what a GTUs is will know that the car isn't one.

Yeah j/k.

You know, I came on here for some simple information. My buddy got the car when it was a year old, and it had the GTUs stickers on it when he got it. He worked at Mazda for years and no one flamed him about the car. As far as he knew, it was the real deal, which is what he told me. He didn't charge me more because of that. He GAVE me the car. I came hear to verify the info, and you guys (not all of you) give me and my freind grief over a couple of stickers.

THat is friggin SAD on your part. I expected more maturity on your part. Maybe the original owner of the car liked the looks of the stickers or something, I don't know. My buddy was the 2nd owner of the car, and I am the 3rd.

My son and I come here to learn more about RX7's, not to get toasted in a flame war.

SHAME on you.

you haven't been on many internet message boards have you

when everyone shows that you're wrong, just admit it and let it go. then most people will get over it

Yep. Don't blame the guys for flaming you a little when all the information you needed is stickied at the top of the page. You need a little thicker skin I'm afraid.

My vert has a TURBO, 17" wheels..blah blah blah....

GTUss Stickers on the way.

If you want to leave them on that's cool. But the fact is it would be eronious to go around telling people it is a GTUs Vert when they were strictly a s5 model and as stated earlier would be completely pointless in vert form.......

Send your buddy over, let him take his OWN medicine. :balls:
You have now found that he was wrong.
You came here because you couldn't verify the correctness of the stickers. When you started this thread, you KNEW that the GTUs was an 1989 and you had a 1988. You asked for information on the car. You got it. You just didn't like the information you found.
Now, you insult the members if the forum who did help you with the very information that you asked for. Now THAT'S the model of maturity.
Hope you are not letting you son read this forum, because if so he is learning about RX7's. He is also learning something about his father. You figure out what it is.
Rethink that, as a father.

Right now your only real mistake is believing you buddy in the face of overwhelming information that he was wrong. You apparenly kind of suspected this or you would not have posted this thread after failing to verify it yourself.
I know he did GIVE you the car, but that does not make him correct, only generous.

You haven't really been flamed, you have been ribbed in a good-natured way. And you got correct information. This is very good deal, considering the price...

clarifications
 

1988 -
factory built convertible offered,base model now called SE, a new GTU model was added.Standard on the GTU was sport-tuned susp;sport seats,aerodinamic body pieces,LSD, and body colored electric mirrors.10th anniversary package offered ABS., leather seats ans special audio system,ALL 1500 cars came in monochromatic white.

1989-
base engine HP increased to 160, turbo to 200, auto tranny offered on the convertible for the first time,GTU became the base model; GTU-S came with the handling package of the turbo model

1990-
The GTU-S model was dropped after 100 models were produced.

In essence NO convertible GTU

look, we told you there is no such thing as a GTUs Vert, THEY DONT EXIST


we told you the facts and your rejected it


time for you to burn, we get bored with new people who ask questions and tell us that we're wrong


Just because your buddy worked for mazda doesnt mean he knows anything about RX7's, incase you havent noticed, most mazda dealerships you take one to will charge you up the ass for basic maintenence and treat you like the beaten stepchild

you dont like what you hear? then leave.

I appologize for flying off the handle. I never said I did not believe you. I did say I would leave the car the way it is until I found more proof. I did beleive my freind and when I asked him about it, he said that he could be wrong. As people we make mistakes.

My continued posts in this thread were not to further try to persuade that I thought you were wrong, just listing what options were on the car.


When I started this thread, I did NOT know that the GTUs came out in 89. Otherwise I would not have started the thread.


As far as your comments about my role as a father, I tend to be very protective of him. When I see people posting things about my freinds smoking crack and saying that if I gave a Sh**, I would believe it would not be a GTUs,.... Well That is what I was refering to as maturity.

Some people just need to think about who is reading these forums. I flew off the handle, for that reason. I stand by that.

Please don't presume as to how I raise my son. It was him I was thinking about the info that he is getting, and smoking crack is not what I had in mind.

My friend doesn't have to fight his own battles. I saw the responses here and asked him and he said he could be wrong. That was good enough for me.

I am very forgiving and ask forgiveness. But I wish you would just think about the "new guy" and the young guys who are trying to learn something .

Just keep it positive.

Bill

Hey it's cool man... On the bright side, you have a Vert with LSD and hey it's still an RX-7... :bigthumb:

it's all good

everybody's gotta swing their e-dick on these car forums

Think its time to end this thread...

thread closed. If the originator(s) would like it re-opened they can PM any 2nd gen RX-7 technical section moderator.
