What I mean when the diff *rear* is out of the car... I'm looking for a clutch type LSD and the places I'm looking have them removed already... did some searching and did not find much *shrug

there's plenty of threads on this... or you can also do a google search for the different series FC's they made.

s4 isnt equipped with the round tails, the moldings are black, front bumper-lower lips, the blinkers are orange and smaller, most of the accessories are "old school"

s4 engines rear iron is thinner, the throttle body UIM is different, locations of the coolant reservoir, etc...

s5 have the round taillights, matched up moldings with the paint, look alot more sportier.

Look at my car... its a S4.

This is a realllly old picture... looks nothing like this, but this is a series 4 1986 rx7
