Nice, a s5 TII is kind of rare.
Read the 2nd gen FAQ at the top of this forum. Alot of info there...

welcome, Infini IVs are the same as S5(series five) for the rare infini series and Infini IIIs are like S3s (or series three). S5s are 1989s and later with the color matching trim ,the better tail lights, Mazda embossed on the muper, a better front aero, and alot of engineering mods. So basically the Infini IVs are newer, lighter, and had more power. Hope you read the forum rules, search for answers to all questions before posting, and have fun. Welcome to the club. I just joined about 2 weeks ago and got my TII yesterday, so I know how it feels. Enjoy it.

That would be wrong... Infini III were S5 models built in 89/90

Infini IV were 91 models.

the infini IV got
15 more HP from a free flowing exhaust
tuned shock absorbers
the torsen limited slip diff
sportier seats
Momo steering wheel
pirelli P-zero tires
and a few other bits

not to start a big war but not everyone think the taillights are better on s5's nor is the front bumper those are just some opinions cause i like color matched s4's but at night i do like the s5's and not a fan of the bumper i like the flush across on the s4
but then again just my opinion
