I'm lookin to buy a used RX-7. What's the difference between R1 vs. R2. I tried to search but it told me it can't search for a word with less than 3 letters.

 

a year

 

Try searching-----> R1* R2*

 

i think it the r2 had leather seats and sunroof as a standard plus like some special fog lights.thats all i know.im not sure

 

Thanks guys i'll retry the search.

 

Its good that you are not sure, because none of that is right. Most of the time that people ask for advice, they prefer that you really know the right answer.

 

in a nutshell...

R1 = 93
R2 = 94/95, slightly softer suspension than R1

other than that they have basically the same stuff... no sunroof, suede-like seats, dual oil coolers, strut bar, etc...

 

Don't even respond to this.

 

I actually have noticed a difference in the seat height of the 2. My R2 sits a little lower and tilted back.( Feels more like a bucket) ALL the R1's I work on and drive feel higher and tilted forward towards the wheel. Anybody else ever notice this?

I have looked at the 2 cars brackets but find no differences.

Don't try to kill my thread because of dumb asses. Yes I finally found the info I needed. R2 has slightly softer suspension than the R1. That's all I needed. Thanks

 

Different tires from the factory also. 93 skins were extremely slippery when wet. Not that it matters in an 11-year old car.
