FD models??
I want to know what in meant by Touring, R1, and R2. I know that thier different models of the RX7. But what I need to know is how they differ? I know some things like Touring has leather soft suspemsion, R1 sway bar stiffer suspesion. What are the other differences? Tried the search but to many hits.
Thanks in advance. Gun |
Heres the little I know.
Base: Pretty much the plain jane. No sunroof or leather(could be wrong or leaving something out). Touring: Leather, sunroof, bose acoustic wave(which I hear is a p.o.s. and just take it out, but dont know for sure). R1: Not really sure a cross between the R2 and the touring R2: "Large front air dam and ""floating"" rear wing. Shock absorborers are tuned more firmly, and there is a shock tower brace across the engine bay. Also adds a second engine oil cooler, dedicated air ducts to help cool the front brakes." All that came from the 1995 mazda RX7 brochure. So that is my source on the R2. I know the R1 and R2 didnt come with leather.it had kinda of a special seat material..like seude... it was supposed to keep you from sliding in the seat when you were slinging it into the corners. I have heard that the R2 didnt have a rear wiper or cruise control. They also didnt have sunroofs. Well anything i messed up or left out or forgot...have at it and let me know. p.s. I looked for R1 in the mazda thing I have and didnt find anything...did they not have R1 in 95? i have heard they did not have R1 or R2 in 95..but according to the brochure i have they obviously had a R2 because it list it as a package. They also stated that the R1 R2 options were there to choose from but wernt called "R1" or "R2". Oh well later |
Thanks Greys 10th.
I kept looking through the search hits and found the info. Thanks for your help. Gun |
The R1 was only made in 93. The R2 was made in 94 and 95. They are the same except that the R1 has a stiffer suspension. All RX-7's have a very stiff suspension though.
The Bose stereo in the touring sounds great for a stock system. It's one of the best I've heard. It just can't compete with a lot of high powered aftermarket systems. It's all I need though. I put a big aftermarket system in my last car but I haven't felt the need to switch this one. Maybe I'm getting old. I guess I'd just rather spend the money on go fast parts. |
