I keep reading about NA, S5, etc. and I don't understand it. I am having trouble identifying what the distinguish is here and to know exactly what I have on my car.

I know I have a 1988 non turbo 5 speed GXL with the security alarm and sunroof but that's about as far as it goes.

I am going to try and upload some pictures to my member page.

 

u have an s4. 2nd gen rx7's were produced from 86-91. 86-88 are know as series 4 and 89-91 are know as series 5. basically the same car just small differences. biggest difference is the plugs for just about everything are different and na only means thats its naturally aspirated. turbos are forced induction.

 

Or you could look at the FAQ section.

 

thanks guys. I tried to look through and find out but I was having trouble finding it in the threads.

 

To answer your thread title, you have an RX7.

 

Thank you for clearing that up

 

Picking on a woman, you guys should be ashamed.

 

I'm used to it by now. Not many women work on cars, let alone their own. I'm pretty new to Rx7s and have a TON to learn. I tried the FAQ section but I didn't find anything other then question on how to post, etc. I'm still trying to figure out totally how to navigate this site. I believe I spent about 2 hours searching for my answers through the forums and came up empty handed so I figured I'd just post my question for a more speedy solution so I can better accurately search out other issues I'm having.

So far what I've got is a nightmare of an exhuast leak issue. I'm thinking about giving up on the manifold and it's flange and installing a header.

I've got a bad/loose ECU ground under the manifold causing my 38OO rmp stall and causing my radio to loose ground intermittently.

A vacuum hose leak SOMEWHERE that you can hear discharge when you shut off the engine.

Then when I've got my functioning affairs in order it's time to repair the damaged caused by running into a tree.

 

for searching, the best thing to do is go up top - click search then click on the tiny "advanced search" button.

then on the left hand side where you type in the topic, right under it is a drop down bar. select the option for "thread titles only" if not you get any thread that includes one post with whatever word you searched.

Requested....... yeah that's a nice way to put it.....

 

don't scare her now.

the lounge is like a bar in a weird small town with no girls.

 

Super, Thanks!

You grow up in a family of perverts and marry an air force crew chief, you get used to most anything. lol

Oh! and I'll get pics of the car soon :P

Not scared...as for the bar scenario; I'll carry my wiffle bat.

 

Oh no, its not pics of the car that the lounge wants.

 

Please... I moderate in the lounge.
The lounge is child's play.

You wanna play in the big leagues, head over to one of the chans.
