the 94's and 95's are very similar and came with duel airbags. the 93's came with only the drivers side airbag. there are no perfomance gains between the years however the r1's tend to pull larger skidpad numbers due to the fact that that have stiffer stiffer struts.

94's-95's usually had paint that stayed in better condition/lasted longer than the 93's.

Also I believe the 94's-95's had less TSB's then the 93's had..(Someone correct me if I'm wrong though it's been sooooo long since I looked at that stuff)

1. 94-95 Instrument cluster is different due to the fact of having no small indication lines between numbers
2. 94-95 Have smaller rear swaybars.
3. 94-95 Have different dash panels in the way that they're not painted and won't peel like the 93's
4. 94-95 Have 2 additional braces under the rear subframe to minimize the rear subframe from flexing under load(Mostly to try and prevent axle hop)
5. 94-95 Have dual airbags.
6. The EGR system on the 94-95 is different.
7. The 93's were the only ones that came with chrome colored intake manifold nuts.
8. The 93's intake elbow on the throttle body was grey colored, not black like the 94-95.
9. Touring didn't exist in 95 it was replaced by the PEP package, even though the PEP package was introduced earlier in 94.
10. Only Tourings came with glass sunroofs.
11. Only 93 offered a CYM(Competition Yellow Mica) on R1 models
12. There was no white RX7 in 93, only 94-95.
13. R1 and R2's only came in Yellow, Red, Black, and Silver.
14. 95 RX7's used R134 A/C refrigerant, not R12 like the 93-94.
15. 95 RX7's also used a lighter ABS system than the 93-94.
That's all I can think of right now that some people don't know about if I think of anything else I'll let you guys know.

so would it be a lot better to buy a 94 or 95 over a 93? Are there any engine differences (like the tips of the rotors being different...because didnt they have problems with them wearing out?) Any problems fixed between the years of the 3rd generation? Whats axle hop? Would smaller rear sway bars be better? I would like to get myself a rx7 when i get a car and this is why im asking all these questions. Thanks to those that help.

correction to number 13,
i think only the r1(93) came in yellow

TSB = technical service bullitin

r1 = is a model of the 3rd gen rx7. its the "racing" model. the are the lightest model between the base and tourings. they came with stiffer struts, front strut bar, duel oil coolers, front and rear spoilers, racing cloth seats, no cruise control, no sun/moonroof.
