Help...

I did a search, but still am not 100% clear.
I just got an '86 n/a tonight.
It has no sunroof, no power steering, no power windows/locks, alluminum hood, LSD, sport suspension, 5lugs and 4pot front brakes.
Does that definetly make it a sport? What were the standard features on a sport?

Thanks.

edit: No cruise, rear wiper or anything like that either.

I just noticed also that it doesn't have the little front 'spoilers' or the rears that supposedly came with the sport model.

Base came with a lsd?

Look up the vin, it should tell you what model it is.

Where could I look it up?

You'll have to forgive me. I'm obviously new to the rotary world.

When you do like a carfax report shouldnt it say like "89 Rx7 Turbo II" etc. Or teamfc3s.org or fc3s.org or some crap about decoding your vin or something.

Someone should help you out with a carfax report, so have the VIN ready or post it in here if you don't mind.

Argh. A carfax will tell him that it's a turbo. Don't trust carfax - they're fucked.

The only way to know for sure is to call Mazda and ask. From your description, you have an 87 Sport. It's probably just lost its aero package over the years... it is a 16-year-old car.

Figured it was probably just a sport, and not anything weird.

Alright, now time to start modifying.

Thanks guys.
