i need to know how to tell a rx7 gxl between a regular rx7 help please

turtles87rx7

by regular do you mean base model or turbo or what....many varieties of rx-7, there are.(a little yoda for you). Umm gxl was from 1986-1988, 5 lug, should say GXL on fender, normal hood (no scoop) and other things ( i think it is covered in the faq or something)

GXLs were from 1986-1990. In 1991 they just called all NAs Coupes. My 89 GXL has power everything. Power windows, power steering, sunroof, AAS, it's a 5 lug with 4 piston calipers.

hmm i thought that they switched GXL to GTU when they went from s4 to s5...

If you look you see GXL on every brochure specification except for 91, when all the NAs switched to simply Coupe.

well gracias sgt. pepper!! i now feel like an idiot...

The 91 is there as well, it is just lower in the thread

Sgt. Pepper

Oh I know. What I meant was on every brochure it says GXL except for the 91 brochure which just calls them Coupes. I was just trying to state that GXls ran from 86-90 since turtles said they only ran from 1986-1988.

91verty

86-88 gxl's were pretty mucs as they were in the s5 range too. They were always e little more luxurious and had power. Sgt. pepper you know how many people i tried to tell that to and they never believe me? AAAAAGGGHHH! Anyways you can always tell usually if its a gxl by simply looking for the rear window wiper. Its just a quick way. If its not a gxl in s4 era it will be a SE with nothing but a sunroof, Or of course a t2. In s5 era it will be basically the same only they did not call them SE anymore they simply went to the gtu model until 91 and then called them coupes. But the best way is to always look for the window wiper.
