If you have an automatic transmission then you have a transmission cooler on the passenger side, not a secondary oil cooler. If you have a sunroof then it's not an R1.

It looks like a touring model that they just added the oil coolers and maybe took off the bose system..

The R1s had rear spoilers and cloth seats, but i guess the spoiler could have been removed and the seats replaced. Does it have the R1 front lip?

ok well after searching it look slike i have a base model with many add ons...

i have dual oil coolers all with steel braided lines and earl AN fittings most likey upgraded by prev owner....

i have a sunroof so that rules out R1/R2 models

i also have a rear winshield wiper as well as cruise control....

even though i have the factory red interior incuding door panels and such that was probably a option from teh factory the original owner paid for

oh well im not dissapointed... the car is mint still and has a lot of upgrade to it already.. i was just curious...

are the base and touring models the same or slightly different because maybe i have a touring model then...

"CWC Dual Oil Cooler Kit"

Your dual oil coolers are an upgrade, not stock (a good upgrade at that). Looks like you purchased a track ready car.

Unless the engine is toast, you got a hell of a deal. Even if the engine is toast (not likely), it's still a good deal considering what the car can do.

Its a touring model, with the bose removed. Touring models have sunroof and rear wiper. Base models do not. Sounds like the fog lamps have been removed also, hence the switch.

the car has a new motor with about 9 k on it currently .. along with the car came every reciept for eveyrthing on the cae inlcuding the receipt from mazda for the motor which was purchase at 63k on the odo in this car... of course the warranty has expired on it since even though it hasnt been over 12k miles it has been over a year for the motor.. but i do have receipts for the new motor....

i know i was kinda dumbf ro not researching the car before purchasing it. but when i saw the pix i had to have it... i didnt even read the mod list or tst drive the car.. i tooka bus to NC and bought it on the spot and brought it home to atl.. the whole way home the car drive liek a dream.. perfect idle no studdering or stubles or misses. tranny shifts smooth almost liek a new car... i was quite impressed with the conition of a 12 year old car being almost new like.....

i hope i got a good deal on it..

You could have just looked in the thread you copied the specs from, or even the post you put them into in order to get the model.
