Was power steering an option on 2nd gen rx7s?
Mine doesnt have power steering - wondering if the previous owner removed it...

Yes it was available, but not all FCs were equipped.
|
Curious as to the models, so here they are as listed in Spec section:
86 Std GXL only, N/A Base, Sport 87 Std Sport, GXL, option Turbo 87.5 Std Sport, SE, GXL, option Base, Turbo 88 Option Turbo, Std all other models 89/91 Std on all |
All of my rx7 over the years have had power steering. ive owned all fc cars, except my most recent one. When looking I actually wanted one without power steering and found it. So my 1987 base that I own now is a non power steering car. I think AC was actually and option also on some models.
|
A/C only became std on all models 1991. Up until then it was only std on certain models,
optional on others. |
my 87 sport TII had A/C but manual steering.
|
Way back in '88, the first new TurboII I test drove on the dealer's lot was no-power steering, but the A/C was standard.
Didn't like the car w/o power steering, so purchased a new TII with P/S. Know a long time ago, but Mazda bought the car back and gave me the '89 TII at dealer's cost......Still have the car. |

In reference to the power steering, all the ones I have owned except my current one had power steering, I kind of like the non power steering in the fact that its one less thing to worry about and it seems to have a tight feel to it. As far as comfort, power steering is the way to go. I sure do miss it in slow parking lot maneuvers. I have a 67 chevelle that I added power steering and power brakes to. It was a must. |
