what S5 model i have?
So i bought an S5 1990 rx7. It has no power windows no sunroof 4 piston brakes, cloth interior, no ABS looked like a t2 rear end but the trany is definitively NA. makes no sense. Its also a black on black fairlly low vin number on the car.

Based on that, it could be a GTUs. There's a sticky at the top of this forum with scans of brochures. Cross reference that with what your car has and see if you can determine a model. S5 N/As were kind of sketchy as far as models went, especially 1991, when it was simply a coupe with options.

I mean this thing is basic as far as all that goes it does have A/C but doesnt look like its a factory. its has a quick steering rack also took it for a ride up the street today and oh boy does that thing turn on a dime. Is there anything else that could be an idicator as to what it is I know the plate next to the vin number that has all the other info is missing so go figure

The only thing throwing me off is the no sunroof.
I had thought the only no sunroof 89 and 90 cars were GTUs cars. But yeah with the 15" wheel specification on the door jamb it should be a GTU or a GXL...
All the GTU cars of 89 and 90 AFAIK came with sunroofs. Not until 91 did the sunroof become an "option" again...
Possible someone was trying to emulate a GTUs with a GTU...or its some Frankenstein car, two cars welded togeather etc...
Rear brake rotors vented? And a rather unlikely possibility is that someone welded the sunroof shut. I did that on my 89 GTU when we converted it to a race car...

GTUs came with the same wheels the Turbo II did.. It'd have listed 16 inch wheels from the factory.
GXLs all had the buttons for the adjustable suspension, power windows, and a sunroof...
It's a GTU.
