I have an 85 RX-7, 12a with no markings on the body to designate whether it's an S, a GS, or a GSL or a GSL-SE. I suspect the lack of body markings means that it's an S. The vin number doesn't seem to give any clues: JM1FB3318FO892517.

Thanks, Dennis

 

do you have the car manual? if not you could try comparing the different features (internal and external)

 

If you have rear disc brakes and a front oil cooler then its a GSL i think. If not then its a GS,S or base.

 

there's already a thread somewhere that tells what model had what options. but if urs is drum brake rear, that rules out gsl. and it being a 12a, that rules out gsl-se.

 

You probably have a GS

 

Thanks for your posts. I do have the owners manual, but there doesn't seem to be anything in it to give me a clue. You would think that the vin number would contain a code for the model number, but it doesn't. The rear brakes are drums not discs, so I guess that rules out the GSL. I guess I'll have to be satisfied with knowing that it's either an S or a GS. Dennis

 

sorry i couldnt help you out anymore, but hey at least you have the Rx7 =D, you should post a pic of it

 

does it have that horrible oil cooler mounted under the oil filter? thats the only thing i would be worried about.

 

yes it has the oil cooler. why is that bad?

 

no it's not bad. others just prefer the one that goes under the rad.

 

yeah the one that actually works lol
