I'm a little confused here

Its supposed to be an 86 sport, but i'm thinking that may be wrong
its definately an 86 model

bth A/C
gxl Power Steering
spr crank windows
bth Sunroof
bth 4 poiston brakes
bth 5 lug
spr rear rubber mini spoiler
spr manual mirrors
spr no tilt steering that i can see
bth 15 inch wheels
gxl rear boxes with locks

so unless i'm just being stupid, something seems off to me
wtf

somehow it doesnt seem like someone would go through the trouble to install P/S in this pos rx7

 

run a carfax

and theres ways to tell by the vin number

try searching I don't remeber the vin number meanings off the top of my head

 

sport models still had ac and power steering, just options to add to the car.

 

Sounds like a Sport. A GXL would have the Auto Adjusting Suspension.

I've got a Sport with a sunroof, AC, PS, bins, etc.

 

must be a gxl whats a tilt steering and cranks windows

 

If it doesn't have AAS, it is not a GXL.

 

tilt steering allows the wheel to "TILT" up and down like a new car, only its the entire column. And crank windows are non power units...just a door crank

 

sounds like an 86 sport to me, post PICS!!!!!!
early sports had 5 lug i thought

 

that's definately an unusual combination of options

 

Its definitely a sport model. My parts car had the same options listed above.

 

I agree the best thing to do is a carfax to make sure. I know of people buying RX7'S and they are built from a bunch of scrap cars.

 

Coo man sounds like a Sport model to me too. I have the same car pretty much without the sunroof.

What color is yours? Post pics!!!

I also have the Aluminum hood... Which types of Rx-7 came with the aluminum hoods? Was it the sport only?

 

you have a sport
mine is setup about the same way though mine is a 87. remember even though some of those options might not be mazda factory equipment the dealer might of added some equipment on their own or people who have owned the car before you. though most would not go so far as to remove equipment.




as far as the AAS I thought that just being a GXL didn't mean you had it but rather it was an option with the GXL

 

even with the sport you are not granted a alum hood all the time as my car can show unless it was replaced though that doesn't seem very likely.

 

O really so yours has a steel hood? So I guess Mazda just did it randomly.

 

The car is a Sport based on the information you have provided. Congratulations, you have a potential GTUs killer on your hands. I had an '87 Sport at one time that had power steering and a stock sunroof. Aluminum hoods were a random option, generally installed on "weight sensitive models" such as the convertibles.

 

VIN # has no bearing on model other than coupe, convertible, turbo, NA

 

And also to clear up some stuff earlier in the thread:

All Sports were 5 lug
Some came with steel hoods, some came with aluminium hoods.

 

is SE the same as sport or something different?

 

The SE is the base model...they are 4lug and no power options other than PS and AC.....4 lug POS's....but a good startign platform for mods. My SE already got a lug upgrade and depowered rack, just things to consider, but a sport model is nice

 

my SE has a sunroof and cruise control

 

maybe gtu model? does the center console have a fabric liner inside? if so its a gxl/luxury if not its a base sport ot gtu, im thinkin gtu

 

well i know mine is a SE i still have all the original paperwork from the original owner. his sounds just like mine but he has the upgraded brakes, so maybe someone just did a 5 lug brake conversion on his?

 

no, not at all

 

SE = lame
Sport = best N/A FC that was made, IMO
