QUICK QUESTION, Got a 87 sport with sunroof, PS,BP and was wondering how rare the sports are, also anyone know the base weight of the sport models. The mazda trix guy said it wasnt a sport cuz of the sunroof but my insurance and the option sheet i found all point to a sport model... The wing on the car I have is new to me... NOT THE GXL wing, I also has the side skirts. Thanks for all the info!!

CrassFC3S 07-09-2005 01:34 PM

yes, that it does =D and listen to banzai because he knows more

needa86NAat 07-09-2005 07:23 PM

a sport is NOT a gtu and It did not come with factory LSD... me and toy boy already have been over it.....also a sunroof was and option on sport models in 87 if you belive MAZDA BROCHURE YEAR 1987 . 4 options total are availble for sports... ac, sunroof,alarm,and auto reversing tape deck...all im missing is the alarm alarm

banzaitoyota 07-10-2005 09:19 AM

Yes, it was an option, however I havent seen any with it.



As far as rarity, its just another NA RX-7. BTW, a manual base, no sunroof is the lightes FC

Always. Sport (S4) , GTUs (S5), S4 GXL's all had 4 pot calipers up front. Not sure about the S4 GTU



EDIT: 88 GTU had 9.8" Front Disc (4 pot Caliper) and LSD (4.1:1)

drftk1d 07-11-2005 06:55 PM

interesting

needa86NAat 07-11-2005 08:49 PM

Anyone got a sunroof in their sport model? or am i the only 1?

donhayes 07-11-2005 11:42 PM

the sport package has the sunroof and a lot of the lightweight features.

FCmaniac 07-12-2005 02:02 PM

My 86 sport had a sunroof



Had the 5 lug, 4 piston, and little sport aero lip on the back

needa86NAat 07-12-2005 09:30 PM

right on.....I have never seen a sport model on the road with the rear lip in LA... until i bought one. I didnt think the wing was stock till i saw that it sez mazda on it.....

I've got an 87.5 sport with a sunroof.



87.5 sports come with storage bins.

mazdarx713b 08-03-2005 09:11 PM

I've got an 87 sport with the tupperware spoiler, the black ground effects, 4 pot calipers, and a sunroof. Wish I had the LSD rear end though.

needa86NAat 08-04-2005 11:26 AM

FYI from what I have been reading the sport has the best arodynamic profile .29 drag co. !!!!

Stanello 08-04-2005 12:17 PM

Ya the non-LSD is the only drawback in my opinion.... well the non turbo part too....

Black8 08-05-2005 09:11 AM

NA S4's are the least desirable FC of the bunch.........

needa86NAat 08-05-2005 10:58 PM
