Difference in the R1, R2, etc...
I am new to this board and also fairly new to Rotaries. I just sold my 88 GTI with a VR6 swap and am looking into getting a 3rd gen Rex this summer once I get my funds in order. I was wondering if someone could tell me the difference in the R1, R2, R3, and even the touring packages. As far as I know the engine is the same in all the 3rd gens so all I can think of is that the suspension and cosmetics are different. Any help is appreciated, I know I have a lot to learn about these cars...

Touring - Sunroof
Cruise control
1 oil cooler.
R1 and so on i think- No cruise Control
2 oil Coolers opposed to just one.
Better suspension (The OEM strut bar that everyone wants)
Brake Ducks?
No sunroof
all black interior?
Diffrent Front lip?
I got my info somwhere hehe but i think that its accurate.. somewhat. I own a touring and havent seen many R1s in real life so these are based on what ive heared.

From what I've seen that not many other people have noticed is that the R1 strut bars are different fromt the R2 strut bars.
The R1's you can adjust for length, and the R2's you can't. To stiffen the front end i guess.
As if I need any more understeer.

Damn, I think we should make it a rule that newbies cannot reply to other newbies questions. It's like the blind leading the blind.

Touring (93) and PEP (94,95)
-Had sunroof, leather, cruise control, and bose system
R1 (93)
-Different compound of cloth (forget the name) interior, dual oil coolers, no sunroof, no cruise, stiff *** suspension, front strut bar. front/rear spoilers
R2 (94,95)
-Same as R1 except not as harsh of a suspension
Base (lightest of 3)
-Cloth interior
-I don't think it had the bose system, cruise or sunroof.
I am not to familiar with the Bases.
If I was wrong about something else please correct me

The Bose system didn't come in anything but the Touring. If it doesn't have a Bose it isn't a Touring, not optional. PEG/PEP models had steel sunroofs vs. Tourings glass (in 94 only).
