Since when did an R2 have cruise control and leather??

 

yeah, looks kind of fishy, I would do a vin check and talk to the guy to see what the deal is

 

It's an R2 best I can tell. The seats appear to be the "suede leather" that came standard in the R1/R2's. They technically aren't suede, but thats what everyone calls them. If you look in the engine bay picture. Cruise Control would be mounted in the top right... it isn't there. Has the R2 lip, spoiler, front strut bar... can't tell if it has the rear... and can't see if it has dual oil coolers. Looks like an R2 to me

 

Popular equipment package? THey all came w/ cruise.. Nice black on black. A couple hours south of me. Hmm. Compression #'s and No crash history would be the two value points. G

 

Here is the carfax. Looks like a nice car, but only being driven 300 miles in a few years can be bad juju on the engine.

R1/R2's did not come with cruise control

 

No **** Sherlock. Base's, PEP's & PEG's didn't come with R1 lips & rear spoilers.

The dealer or owner could add or remove anything.

IMO the true way to verify a R1/R2 (besides the obvious dual oil coolers) is to look for the dedicated brake ducts behind the spoiler lip. Anyone can add the lip, but few will go the extra mile & install the ducts.

I was bummed out he didn't reply (& it wasn't posted) to my question about what scent air freshener he installed.

 

I am LOL w. tears- do you do stand up as this could be on top of the list of best posts I have read. A pleasure....umm evergreen....

 

How many oil coolers and the location? Production date and location of production please? If it is an R2 this should be easy.



My question on d-ebay without a response...car is probalby real but I question its r2 status

 

My understanding - no upgrade with an r2

 

you can add any option to any car. there is a touring around here with dual oil coolers and R1 suspension.

 

my 94 has twin oilcoolers and not a r2

 

What the hell are you talking about? The guy that posted this thread said that Cruise Control was listed as one of the options in the options list in the ebay ad. Because of this, he was questioning whether or not it was an R2. As I had already stated in the thread, based on the engine bay picture, the car does not have cruise control... and was not an option for the R1/R2 from the factory. Could a dealer added it on? Yes, but I highly doubt it. I never said that other cars didn't come with any of the other stuff... but all R1/R2's did. I guess whatever you have to do to make yourself feel better.

 

This car is a steal! Aside from the new air freshener that someone already pointed out... it has:

1. a fire extinguisher (professionally mounted by tossing it in a rear bin)
2. an OIL FILTER (which I assume is a rare option, as the buyer made a point to take a picture of it)!

 

car looks good but the engine bay is pretty dirty looking he could have washed it before trying to sell.


think he is trying to show the ss line going to the slave

 

Another way to tell is the manufacturer sticker inside the drivers door. It shows date of build and also it will say HARD suspension for R models and SOFT for others. Of course, someone could change those too I suppose

 

It also appears to be missing the rear wiper, to my knowledge only the Base and R1/R2s didn't have a rear wiper and it's not exactly an option a dealer can delete.

 

Mazda lets you look up vehicles by the VIN at their website. According to MAZDA, it IS an R2. You can verify this by logging in as an 'owner' (you do need to register) & enter the VIN as your auto.

The great mystery is SOLVED!

 

Soft?!! That sounds rather un-manly. Actually, on the sticker in the passenger side door jamb under Suspension is says : STD S. for the Base, Touring, and Popular Equipment package cars.

 

Yeah, that's it! I knew it started with an S. Thought it was soft....but STD. now comes back to mind

 

Interesting. This vehicle was in my hometown for quite sometime. I dont remember ever seeing it around. I would have surlely noticed a B/B R2in the late 90's to 2000 (Port Orange).
