i bought a front clip and it says gtx on the fenders, what model is that?
i sold the motor swap but im not sure what to do with the rest of the clip.... what to do?
we started the car too, that was a first, can of carb spray and we were good to go, motor cranked right up!! fun at the shack

i tried to sell the car to the guy in the pic .. 1/2 car for 1/2 price but he didnt go for it... lol

I believe it was the high-end GXL equivalent (except turbo, as all FCs in japan were) of the S4s there.

tinvestor

Yes GXL equivelant. Do a conversion or part it out. Too bad no cruise control or I would take the cruise switch.

that's a huge steering wheel!!

+1 for conversion

jeff_man

conver it, have your self a right side drive gtx and you will be the coolest rx7 kid around =P

680RWHP12A

thats exactly what i was thinking!.. easier to drive with small hands maybe? lol
i have never seen some of the wierd (to me )items so i thought i would share.... why would they call it a gtx? why nor turbo II ?


automatic? we never got those in the states!!!


the only mazda gtx ive heard of is a 323 gtx.. you know....................awd 1.6 turbo

It's funny how if you spoon-feed people the info they want, they think you're awesome. But if you tell them how to find it for themselves they get all shitty or childish. Sad...

You could say why didn't they call TII's something else. It all depends on the market. A lot of research goes into picking model names and congiurations that will sell best in each market.

I assume you mean you didn't get auto turbos. Based on the FC's I've seen over here (all Jap-imports), about a third of the FC's sold in Japan were auto. Again, it comes down to what the market demands.

BTW, searching the 2nd Gen forum for "GTX" gets you 451 hits.

it is because you "know it alls",jump down everybodys *** when we ask a question.
THIS IS AN AUTOMOTIVE RESOURCE SITE NOT A COOL KIDS CLUB.

WE WOULD RATHER HAVE NO REPLY THAN A ******* SMART *** REPLY, AND MOST OF THE TIME I SEE THAT THE ANSWERS ARE SHORTER THAT TELLING PEOPLE TO SEARCH SEARCH SEARCH. YOU DO A SEARCH AND IT COMES UP WITH LIKE 20 PAGES.

THATS WHY PEOPLE ASK QUESTIONS, IF YOU DONT WANNA ANSWER IT, THEN DONT.
PLAIN AND SIMPLE

Omg U Noob Search!

tinvestor

+1 Search can be useful for some things but when you do a search (because the search options are innadequate) you come up with 2600 matching threads because you searched "bronze tinted glass" and you find most of them are not about 10th AE stock glass. but some guys dads medal (BRONZE star) from vietnam and how some other guy TINTED his windows last week and another guy dropped a GLASS of milk yesterday.

Moral of the story is DO NOT USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION HERE! use GOOGLE and look only at this sites matches.

adrock3217

Uh..yeah...JDM hotness...because those cars a lot different than ours...oh wait, THEIR THE SAME! GAH!

uhh

New JDM trend for windshield wipers?

playdeadva

maybe GT-X = GXL
and GT-R = GTU
GT = base (if there was a GT)
(with the exception of the turbo itself)
and that note. i go to japan on friday

Prior to this thread, I had no idea that automatic Turbos were produced.

robtechfabrications

i kinda like those side window vent shades...which is wierd cuz normally i dont but they look really good on those cars.

Apathy

Yea, they had an 85 GTX on GT4. I guess it was a prototype 2nd gen. Its pretty nice in the game...

680RWHP12A

most people dont know the turbo cars came automatic, since mazda, for some reason didnt sell them in the states.. why? i have no idea.. every other model was available in automatic...
