I've searched and looked through what i thought i should (suggested websites,faq's,archives) but still having problems finding info on base model compared to other models. I find plenty on r1 vs. r2 pep etc. but difficult to find info on the base compared to other models. Please someone assist w/out bashing me. Maybe I'm not searching the correct word but i did spend time doing research. Thanks to whoever helps me out.

 

what do you want to know exactly?.... a comparison is a little bit to vague

 

the main differences say between the touring and base model would help. Or atleast what the base model does not include compaered to other models thanks.

 

Base= No extras,1 oil cooler,cheaper clothing on chairs,Light weigt "because of no extras"
Touring=Cruisecontroll, sunroof,softer springs, leather.windowwasher on the back window.2+2seats,1 oil cooler
R1= stiffer springs,ligther then touring,and other clothing on chair.2+2 seats,Dual oilcoolers.
R2= The same as R1 but with not so stiff dampers and only 2 seats

 

So base= no power anything? Possible to install cruise off another model? Include bose system? Disc brakes at all corners? Thanks I appreciate it.

 

You will find everything you need to know here.....

That's where i based all my searching and had trouble. I don't know maybe i've been sitting in front of the comp to long and playing to much gears of war. Thanks though I'll browse through it again.

 

What makes it hard to differentiate is that a lot of the things the came on touring models could be bought individually as options on base models.

A bare bones base model has cloth seats, no bose, no rear wiper, no r1 lip or wing, no sunroof,

All FD RX-7s have four-wheel disc brakes with ABS.

 

Does at bare bones 93 have power anything in the interior?

 

I think all FDs will have power windows and mirrors.

 

all rx7's are the same except those few things i mention "so the same power and brakes".
But the Europe,USA,Japan marked got some different to power.

 

I live in Canada and when I was researching the Base model RX-7 it was a little confusing because 99% of the info was from the US. What I found out was here in Canada the Base Model comes with Cruise Control and the Base is available in Competition Yellow Mica. I think there are also a couple of other differences but they didn’t apply to the car I bought so I don’t remember them. LOL

 

Im also from canada, and my base came with cruise control and a r1 wing.

 

Yes! Everything else is the same on the touring/R1/R2 except what people have stated before.. Which means, Power window, cruise (all base I've seen), etc etc..

 

What do you mean "cheaper" clothing, base seats last forever, they dont wear

 

cheap look Is that better

 

I would prefer the cloth seats over the leather I currently have. Cloth grips better and Mazda's upholstery technology of the late 80s and early 90s was just totally awesome. My '89 MX-6 GT interior is all original and has 270k miles on it; there's not a tear or missing stitch to be found, and this is the case with every other similar Mazda I've seen...Even in junk yards I've never seen a torn side bolster or ripped seat, whereas when you look at all the Toyotas and Hondas from the same era, they all have torn side bolsters and other interior problems that you just don't see on the Mazdas.

 

Thanks for all the info much appreciated.
