ok so im looking at an n/a it has a sunroof, manual windows and locks, this would make it a sport pkg right? is the suspension any better than the rest of the n/a's??

One320B 11-13-2005 02:04 PM

Is it an '87? There were some odd models floating around... I have an '88 SE that had a power sunroof but manual everything else. You probably just came across a normal base ('86-'87) or SE ('88) that has a sunroof.

spaceman Spiff 11-13-2005 02:12 PM

its an 88 so yeah looks like it is prolyl an 88 se seeing as it has manual mirrors... the thing that threw me off was the spoiler and side skirts... but looking at the car they are prolly just put on there, did they ever put the white tails that came on the 10AE on n/a's?? because it has those too, just wondering what came stock on this thing and what was put on it.

the sport package was offered in 86-87, it is a base car with 5 lug suspension and 4 piston brakes, they also had the aero package (little rubber rear wing, and the "spats" in front of the wheels)



in 88 the sport becomes the gtu, which gets turbo mirrors, seats and the painted rear wing.



if its a 4 lug car its a base (86-88) or an se (88), se is a base with a sunroof and cruise control

spaceman Spiff 11-13-2005 02:52 PM

alright then it is an SE with extra body parts... thanks

my 88 SE did not have cruise. was cruise optional back then on the SE's? oh, yeah, does not have a limited slip diffy spiff.

spaceman Spiff 11-13-2005 04:45 PM

yeah that was just gxl's and GTUs wasnt it?? oh and TII of course

rowtareh 11-13-2005 05:16 PM

yeah, everything but the base s4's had LSD's. i think all of the s5's had them though, not really sure.

RONIN FC 11-13-2005 09:13 PM

My SE didnt have cruise either, it had roof and AC

One320B 11-13-2005 09:35 PM

Cruise was an option in '88 on the SE, i've got the original manuals for '87 and '88...

I have a question about my car. I have a 91 n/a FC with electrical aero mirrors, sunroof, 5 lugs, and a painted wing. I read somewhere that for that year they compressed the GXL and the GTU and those models into a simple "coupe." I recently got the center console with the electric mirror switch and security light that was taken off a 91 RX7 from the junkyard. Unfortunately the harnesses from the mirror switch and security switch doesn't fit ANY of my harnesses. Now I'm not sure if I'm suppose to have a security light or any of that stuff, but for sure I'm suppose to have the mirror switch. ANOTHER thing I'm not sure about is if the previous owner cut the harness out for the mirrors. But I do have two harnesses there. ONE of them HAS to fit.... WTH???? SO is this due to a model difference (if there is any) or year?

My SE doesnt have a sunroof. I think its had cruise control, but i cant tell since the thing that it plugs in to on my colum is missing.

Sport models did not come with LSD, I dont think the 88 GTU did either, but I'm not 100% sure.
