differences s4 vs s5?
 
just had a quick question. do the s5 have different side panels from the s4s'? the buldges along the sides seem.. bigger.. haha (i know this sounds retarded). but yea! like they're wider?.. is this true? or am do i just have really bad eye sight?

sorry. hope some1 could help clear this up! Thanks!

btw. i love the look of the fc from the sides. they curve of the body is just amazing. almost looks like a car with one of those 'widebody' kits, but not..

again sorry to sounds so retarded. i didn't have much time to formulate my question. it was just something that came up.

Well that is rumour i heard once a long time ago. But it has never been proven nor disproven. I have a S5 and it seems that it does have wider guards than a my friend's s4, but then again just because it looks like it does, doesnt necessarily mean it does.
Next time I'm at my mates house (who has a s4, i'll try and measure the guards and compare). Then again, that would not be a 100% guarantee that this is correct.

Wait. What?

yeah, i know what you mean, ive been wondering the same thing. actually, i think they are different, if you look at black dragon auto, theirs 3 options for fenders; S4, S5 NA, S5 TII. so i think there is some difference...of some kind...or another...hell, i dont know....

They are the same except for minor mounting differences.

You can bolt a S5 non turbo fender onto a S4 Turbo just fine...

mounting holes in slightly different spots are the only differences

haha wow i feel much better, i was beginning to think i was delusional er something..

would any1 happen to know of a website or document that might describe this? i guess something in regards to the yearly changes made to the rx-7, but in more detail? like every sight has a brief overview of changes, but i've yet to read of anything talking about restyling of the fenders etc..

OH! and i was curious. would the 89-90 GTUs be grouped in with s5 t2's? or would it just be grouped with normal s5's. in terms of visual aspects (excluding the t2 hood).

just curious! haha.

Describe what? The styling changes? Read the FAQ here. Re-styling of fenders? There wasn't any, so what's there to talk about? That was already answered for you.

Why would the GTUs be grouped with a TII? Does it have a turbo or doesn't it? If it doesn't then one would assume it wouldn't be grouped with the turbo model. Other than the wheels and the decals it looks exactly like every other non-turbo S5.

You really need to search.

s5tiifc3s 10-27-06 09:55 PM

oh. sorry for asking such a stupid question. posting was just a really impulsive thing. i should've searched but i just didn't have a whole lot of time on my hands at that point in time and was curious what other ppl though too.
my appologies for cluttering the board river.
