Also, new and more aerodynamic side view mirrors, which had that hole between the mirror and body, yet had much more beautiful flowing lines and they extended farther from the body than previous models, this also helped cure blind spots in the previous model RX-7's. The spoiler was once again standard on all models.
. Outside, new alloys were applied to the coupe models. The non-turbo models had a 15" quasi-five spoke similar to the later 3rd generation RX-7 wheels

Hope that helps.

Cuz my car has both and its 88'.[/quote]
yes. all the 89-92 FC's came with the aero mirrors (except in japan, europe, and aussie)...the T2's came with 16 inch mesh spoke rims, the verts came with 15 inch bbs wheels, the 89-90 GTU and GXL came with semi 5-spoke/10spoke 15's, and the 89-91 n/a's came with 5 spoke 15's. the 89-90 GTUs came with the T2 16' mesh wheels...
i don't "think" the 88's came with any of those features (like the aero mirrors)...but who knows...the 88 GTU is sorta like the 89-90 GTUs...so there's always an exception
Very True, hey i even got the TII tranny stock.
And you don't have the 4.30 final drive gear ratio.[/quote]
GTU and GTUs have 4.33 LSD, i know i have one sitting in my garage waiting to be installed on my GTU

Thanks, as soon as i get a scanner i put some pics up, and ya its in mint condition w/ all new paint. 
- one ?
When i first got it there was a leak from the axle hanging out a tad on the differential so i had the diff replacened- how do i know if they put back in the 4.33 LSD? or just threw some other BS in there? It is a specific RX7 shop. I will just ask, but is there any way to know,if its the 4.33? I know how to check for LSD.

Ok, so i read this post and the link to the other forum. Is there a noticeable difference between the 2 final ratios, in every day city driving?? I mean i can understand if youre on the highway doing like 90. But who does that on a daily basis.
