I am thinking about purchasing a 93 rx7, but i dont really know all of the differences between the r1 and r2 and so on. If someone could explain the differences that would be appreciated. And if you were going to buy a 93 would you buy an r1 or not?


thanks:

Ok first man, im surpries you havnt been flammed for not searching. So i gotta put this in:


Second im feeling nice so ill explain it, R1 is the racing model, they only came in 93 (the 94 and 95's had R2) they have a strut bar, black seuide like interior, a second oil cooler, no sun roof, cd player but not the boise stereo, a rear wing, and stiffer suspension. (anything i miss?) The R2 is basically the same thing, but i think it has upgraded parts and different suspension but dont quote me on that. If i had the choice i would buy a 94 R2, but if i was looking at a 93 i would get the R1.

r1s didnt have cd players...

I could have swron it was an option on them because my friends car has a stock Cd player in it and its an R1.

SCOTT: is the only reason that you would get an r2 is because of the 1 year new technology and a cd player?

Higgy

When i submit the form I knew that an r1 had front and rear spoilers and oil coolers, i meant persormance wise between the r1 and r2.

Minor detail changes, mostly somewhat softer springs for the R2s - that's it. As been said before elsewhere, unless you have a real reason to not want a sunroof, then grab the nicest FD you can find, irregardless of what 'model' it is. Mint/nice FDs are hard to come by these days.

The performance of all of them are essentially the same, and really means nothing if you plan on modding your 7. The most common misconception among those new to FDs is that the performance difference between a Touring/PEP/Base vs the R1/2s issimilar to the regular integras/civics and that of the Type Rs.

Hope that I have helped a little, you will soon learn that the RX7, especially the 3rd gen, is a car that must be maintained religiously and they do cost a lot of money. if you are looking at this car because they are cheaper than most other high performance cars, i wouldnt get too excited you will end up paying much more for this car than just the purchase price. it truly is an amazing car and can be a very reliable and fun car if you know your stuff. Feel free to PM me or any other forum members with questions if you can't find what youre looking for, everyone here is always willing to help!
