Went to Wilmington Ecology and bought that rear hatch I was looking for off a s5. Thanks Turbo dave! I only paid $66 for the hatch. The body shop wanted over $200 to repair the rusted section on mine.

Do S4 parts usually fit on a S5?

Depends on the part. But I'd say more parts are interchangable between S4's and S5's than not. From a function standpoint, some interchangable parts from an S4 are actually better than the related S5 parts. For instance, S4 lower control arms will let you replace the ball joints. S5 lower control arms, you have to replace the whole control arm. Conversely, upgrading an S4 turbo and manifold to S5 is considered a better way to go.

Most anything that is interchangable has been discussed in this forum more than a few times. So the Search function is definitely your friend in that regard.

pick a part at peck street had 3 rx7's
1 coupe s4- completely stripped from the interior, motor there and engine parts too
1 s4 convertible, someone removed the engine today, blue interior but nothing useful for me
and 1 s5 coupe engine gone, transmission was removed but still there, blue interior still some useful stuff
thats all i saw but i think someone told me there was 4 rx7's in total but didnt have time to spot it

i got the surround cluster no cracks at all scored lol some plastic seat belt holder thing by the side of the seat, 1 triangle by window, 19 bucks for everything bc 50%off

i still need some things like a new idiot light plastic surround, the 2 vents in the middle of the dashboard, the vents in the doors, and the middle seat cover thing
