82 Rx7
Someone Removed All The Emblems..
Car Has Sunroof And Ground Effects And Rear Spoiler.....
How Do I Tell What It Actually Is?

 

if it also has 4 wheel disc brake then its a GSL that comes with limited slip differential ... if it had rear drums then its a GS .. it wouldn't be an S because of the sunroof .

 

your car is sexy thats wat it is.













yup. if it has rear brake discs then its a gsl. if drums gs.

 

Post pics and we can help you a little more

 

pics or ban!

haha just kidding bout the ban.

welcome to the site!

 

Those two nailed it right on. As a side note, those ground effects you speak of are aftermarket and the spoiler is likely aftermarket as well. The S never came with a sunroof, so thats out for sure. The GS was available with the sunroof, but had rear drum brakes and an open diff as stated above. The GSL had rear disk brakes and a limited slip diff.

 

*laughs* nobody removed your emblems. Mazda in all their genius just didn't emblem the pre-'84 cars. The drums/discs is the best giveaway.

well I guess I should be a little more accurate... they didn't put GS, GSL emblems above the taillights like the '84, '85 ones... I have seen some emblems for GSL cars on the B-pillar, but they weren't on all GSLs. I just don't know which ones had it, but I know I've seen a LOT of pre-84 cars without emblems!

Thats especially true for Canadian cars, specifically the pre-84 cars. The GSL was actually called a GX. I have seen 1 canadian RX-7 with the badge GX above the driver side taillight.

 

well my 83 gsl does not have it on the back. it has it on a silver piece next to both door.Then the 85 gsl only has it on the back. i was like wtf i liked the little silver thing lol.

 

i shoul dhave them done by 2010 lol. sorry thats a lie i am about done with the 85 and the 83 is looking at like 6k 2 finish lol.

 

let me know if the pics help any

 

I'm thinking maybe we should sticky this to the top of the first gen forum just so we dont have to go over this every week.

 

Maybe you should read the FAQs as there is thread that delineates the different models and options. lol.

The S3s did have a GS badge, only the S model lacked any kind of badging in the States. Also keep in mind that some dealers and previous owner's had aftermarket sunroofs installed. This is the case with my widebody, which was a GS but has a sunroof.

If it's an S model, it will have manual mirrors and the fuel door and/or hatch release may be manual instead of electric.

 

I didn't ask what my car was. So would I have to read the FAQ's??

Maybe you should read the message before you post "lol."

 

Oh hell, I had a 1981 rx7 I bought from a shady guy and decided not to even bother looking for a title, and did some truely horrific things to that car..... Im pretty certain I stupidly destroyed an S model. I wish I didnt read this thread.

 

It has drums in rear and an electric fuel door......I have pics,but, i don't know how to reduce them to fit on this site......I need an alternator and someone said a second gen. would bolt right up and have 70 amps instead of 55...any thoughts?
I'm new to this site so I don't know how to navigate to everything as far as faqs and such. Hell I've only been a proud owner for a month....I do though appreciate the input and ,if I post stupid stuff,just write it off as my blissful ignorance.lol

 

Your cool man. i was like the at 1st and u wanna know what i stil am lol.

 

If it has a factory sunroof, it should be a GS/GX model. Should also have power mirrors, electric hatch and fuel door releases. FAQs and stickies are at the top of the 1st gen forum thread page.

Just in case you missed my sig line:

My S has an electric fuel door but manual everything else. You can reduce the pics by simply right clicking on the pic and going to edit, then stretch/skew until you get them where you want them

 

I put 1993 Mitsubishi seats in today......The old ones were really bad !!!!!!

 

as a side note the 82 gsl came stock with FMOC (front mount oil cooler) its the only year gsl that came with one. in 84-85 gsl-se had them.. and 86+ all 7's had them

 

Seats look great, now's a good time to change the rest of your Tampax red interior.

 

Those seats look like what I had in my 93 Eclipse. If they are, they are very comfortable.

 

Comfort is one thing, but you just never know how many beer farts are lurking in some used seats. Know what I mean? Do you buy underwear at the yard sales?

In the past, I have either recover MY old seats or got new ones.

 

Just spray some febreeze on those used seats and they are good to go.
