Bolt Pattern?

This may be a (very) dumb question but anyone know the bolt pattern on an 84?

You can have a multiple choice answer:

1) Use Search Function
2) 4 x 110
3) 4 x 114.3
4) All of the above.







It depends on what model car you have.

well if you don't like the answers then next time search! You even stated it was a "Dumb" question. It was not "Dumb" but one that has been asked many times over.

Your the one that only gave the year but not the model so how are we supposed to know what you have since in 84 they introduced the Se model. Next time perhaps you will "Think" before you ask a question? :-)

Don't avoid the forum. There are far too many good resources on here along with great members and a ton of information.

He did answer your question with the amount of information you gave him. Granted, you may be new and not know there are a few different versions of our cars. We were all there once! I remember when I thought all rx7's came with the sunroof (not the glass one) because all three I have ever seen had one! Well, I was sure wrong when I started doing more research. Now I own one of those weird 'non sunroofed' ones, too!

I didnt bother to put down the model because mine is a mix of multiple models (track only) but all from '84. The biggest problem with searching is that with a forum thats been around for any length of time theres to many "close but not quite" threads that come up which is why a lot of car forums have gone to having a main page in addition to the forums that has a "garage" (mechanical/common DIY projects) so as to centrilize all the data for quick/easy refrence.

That"s why if you don't find a thread that is complete then you bump it up with your question so that we can have a more informative one. Then if it is of great value pm a mod and ask for it to be archived.

I didn't mean to be an a$$ with you. I too was rotor dumb at one time. I have used these forums as well as local builders and have built my entire car myself. There is good information in the archives that will help you make your car better. The main thing that helps us help you is to know as much about the car as possible.

Like if you have a 84 GSL but you swapped in 84/85 GSL-SE suspension, or if you are no longer running a 12a and have installed a 13b instead. Some time even the small things about your car may assist in getting the correct answers.

I look forward to seeing some pictures of your car.

It's an established forum. Questions have been asked many times and answers given.

Common sense say search first. Then when you can't find the answer you need, post an informative quesiton.

For the most part its stock (blueprinted engine, spec suspension) just had parts swapped with other models throughout the years to get the best combo allowed by the rules so its a mix and match and without going through (hundreds) of previous records (spanning 4 owners) you can never be 100% sure what model its off of.
