Welcome to the world of Rx7 ownership. Before the forum rears it's ugly head, I'd like to encourage you to sit back for a few hours and browse the 2nd gen section. We've talked about a lot of stuff, and this, certainly has be covered several times. It will also give you some ideas as to what you'd like to do with your $1500. I'd recommend first, giving it a full tune up and maybe replacing parts which are currently missing or in need of repair or replacement.

Just real quick, I take it you mean GXL? There was no GTU for 1986.

It was either Base/Sport, Luxury, or GXL.

Nope. If you check the FAQ "What did my car come with" at the top of the 2nd Gen section, you can get a better handle on the models which were available in each year. The GTU model came out first in 1988 and was more or less the equivalent of the '86-87 Sport: 4-piston brakes, heavy-duty suspension, no power windows, no AAS. The '88 GTU also added LSD and the TII-style seats. Then for '89, the GTU became the base car with none of the upgraded equipment of the S4 GTU.
