I'm sure this has been covered before, but the search won't allow for short stings such as "S4" or "S5". I'm looking for a list of all differences between the S4 and S5 TII's. First, which body panels are different? I plan on putting a CS Type II kit all the way around the next RX I buy, so after that would there be any cosmetic differences between an S4 and an S5 with the CS kit? Next, are S5's more reliable? Are the transmissions built tougher? The engines built tougher? Turbos better? Any info would be much appreciated. I'm hoping that there aren't too many downsides to the S4's as it would open up my buying options alot. Its getting really hard to find a decent S5 in my area, but I've found a few S4's. Thanks for any info!

S5s have automatic seatbelts and I'll never own one (maybe a vert at some point) for that reason.

For the rest... https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...hreadid=181219

 

why would you not own and S5 just because of the seatbelts? why is it that much of a drawback.....and yes there is a sticky on top of this page

 

Thanks for the info...sorry I missed that sticky. Looks to me like it would be worth waiting for an S5 due to the better engine. *Sigh*

I remember posting on a thread like this..........either way....the mouse belts are a pain. they get stuck, don't work, don't allow for guage pods unless you modify the pod. Verts don't have automatic belts BTW.

 

If you're looking at advantages and disadvantages... Eh... I don't know a lot, but posted a similar thread a while back... S4's are a little lighter

And if you wanna do the pulsation dampener to a banjo bolt converstion, it's easier on S4s.... S5s have to put on the S4 fuel rail, I think.. Since their dampeners are welded on.

 

Oh yeah, and as I was told.. You can search for s4 and s5... Just add an asterisk after them "s4*" "S5*" It never crossed my mind before to think that the wildcard, which can stand for anything, can stand for a space... Heh heh.
