When I first met my partner 9 years ago her older brother had an RX7 which I'll try and discribe to you as best I can. I only saw it a couple of times but I'm trying to find out what it was and if there are any pics around.



It was



- Possibly 1986 or 1988 (could have been a series 4)



- Turbo



- White with gray sections along the bottom of the doors with Special Edition RX7 written in green on each side.



-Had a spoiler that went around the back window. From memory it went possibly from the top of the roof down the sides and along the back.



Thats about all I remember. Hope this gives some of you an idea.

RotorDemon 08-29-2005 09:12 AM

No special edition FC's were made, Besides the 10Th AE. There was an option for an "aero kit" from the dealer with a massive thick wing that went way farther up that the turbo style spoiler. As for the decals.. probably dealer stuff as well.

rowtareh 08-29-2005 09:18 AM

And the 10AE ain't that special either to be honest. Only thing special is the limited number made.

Oh you sir are wrong. There was a S5 TII that has a distinct blue/white paint job, had different wheels, I can't find the pics any more, but it was named after a rotary racer in the 80's.

defrag010 08-29-2005 01:46 PM

infini? What about the GTU-S?

there couldve been a few "special editions" done by rotary tuners in the area, much like the roush/saleen mustangs. the one that was available in the states is teh on nismo is referring to. i know a friend of j9fd3s owns or used to own one. you can try and contact him for info about it.

The only other information I have is that the car was bought off the yard like this as a new Jap import. I doubt anything would have been done to it here in NZ at all. My girl seems to remember the spoiler running along the top of the back window as well as down the sides and around where the standard spoiler would run. Oh and it was auto.

fc3s4utnv 08-29-2005 05:24 PM

Did they even make auto TII's?

LOL Nope.. I am 100% Right. I've seen the Blue/White car, it's just some custom job.

nismo convert 08-29-2005 11:48 PM

Still a special Edition, may not be Mazda special, but it's special kinda like you.

RotorDemon 08-30-2005 02:17 AM

Ok so if I ******* paint my car blue and white it suddenly becomes a special edition?



Sweet, I can get hella bank from it then.

Dramon_Killer 08-30-2005 02:21 AM

What's this aero wing look like?

RotorDemon 08-30-2005 03:11 AM

http://www.mazdafc.com/rotordemon/aerowing.jpg



A friend had those two FC's, there was a whole factory aero kit (ugly as a mother)



I'll see if I can find some pics



Edit: I kinda like the wing.

RotorDemon 08-30-2005 03:22 AM

Page right out of the brochure. 86-88 had like 5 different "aero" wings.

hmm that aerokit aint too bad.



oh and by the way youre not "100% Right" you're "100% Wrong"



The "blue/white" car was a mazda sponsored special, limited edition mad ein honor of one of their team racers. I had the page too but seem to have lost it, like the other guy said j9fd3s had a friend with one. They were very rare and actually had some performance improvements. You could get them from the dealer that way, i even had a link to a magazine article.



oh and ive never seen those rear window louvers, i want them.



kevin.

teknics 08-30-2005 04:36 AM

found the ebay page for the "blue/white" car:



http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...4523335438&rd=1



its the Halmersport GTO Edition.



his webpage must be deleted so i had to use the internet archivbes to find the old one:

http://web.archive.org/web/20041012003655/...om/rx7/rx7.html



unfortunately thats not his for sale page which had magazine clips and everything.



kevin.

RotorDemon 08-30-2005 05:26 AM

That Halsmersport car has been said "supposedly two in existance" As there is no documentation from Mazda to prove that it was built as a "Special Edition"



Just as much as the Stage 5+ 10th AE TII HKS version.



Figure those as the Lingenfelter Versions of the Corvette. Not rare Mazda factory models.

However I don't approve of those window louvers. No me gusta, leave them of the first gen's, please.

I agree, those louvers are pretty nice. They would really help keep the sun off of my subs. I wonder if there is anywhere to buy them?

cps87rx7se 08-30-2005 02:11 PM

JC Whitney sells them. At one point I was going to get them, but then I changed my mind.

teknics 08-30-2005 02:17 PM

People do get sent to jail for weekends.

donhayes 09-25-2005 03:39 PM

is it jail or prison. Because jail is worse than prision, but i too would like to find that body kit. I'd probably never buy it but it doesn't look too bad.
