More clarification:

Aspirated = breathing. N/A (Normally Aspirated or Naturally Aspirated) is an industry standard to describe engines that do not have forced induction like a turbocharger or blower. Therefore, the NA term is usually used to describe RX-7's which do not have turbos. However, mazda calls the non-turbo cars "NT", which stands for Non-Turbo.

There were only two turbocharged RX-7's with the 2Generation body style; The Turbo II (aka TII) which had a single 2-stage turbo, and the 10th Anniversary (aka 10AE) which was a special limited edition of the Turbo II made in 1988. Note that most of the 1988 Turbo II models were NOT the special 10th Anniversary model, which is considered a different model. The Mazda designation for the 2Generation turbo models is "T". For example, the turbocharged 13B engine is called the "13BT".

There are 3 basic RX-7 body styles:
1st Generation RX-7 79-85 = SA or FB
2nd Generation RX-7 86-92 = FC
3rd Generation RX-7 93+ = FD

The FC is further divided into two series, Series 4 (86-88) and Series 5 (88-92). Series 1-4 are 1st Generation RX-7's, while Series 6 and above are 3rd Generation RX-7's.

what did your car come equipped with???

4 lug wheels? steel or alloy?

Or 5 lug wheels???

Power mirrors?

Power windows?

Sunroof?

rear seat?

Based on your answers to those questions I can tell you exactly what model you have.

Sounds like you got yourself an SE, or a Base.

The sunroof installed in your car is not the factory steel retractible roof.

You have a 87 Base model, more than likely a Mazda factory model number FB01.

SE models were only available in 88 in the USA.

LOL I like the marketing or maybe i'm just wrong but in the options sheet it lists the 15 and 16" whells as comming with Radial tires and the 14" as nothing. One would assume the 14" came with bias ply then but surely that is not true.

No, they just shortened the copy... it should be VR rated radials, for the 15" and 16" sizes and HR rated radials for everything else.
