I was toldn because mazda didnt want to taint the name of the rotory so it waqs kind of a deterrant from going to far in tuning the FC andbody got any better ideas?

Never heard of a Turbo with 4 lug, was it a factory turbo, and im guessing it didnt have 4 piston brakes? verts have 'heavy duty' suspension which gets the 5 lug wheels, 4 piston brakes

they did it bc the series 4 and series 5. s4 4 lug. s5 5 lug. ok maybe not but maybe so

My 88 GXL was a 5 lug'r

rotarychainsaw 09-17-2002 09:44 PM

YucA 09-17-2002 09:50 PM

ehhh..ive seen plenty 87--88 TII's 5lug. actually, i have never seen a 4 lug turbo 2

dysthymia 09-17-2002 10:39 PM

My '86 GXL and '89 GTU have both been 5 luggers.

1988RedT2 09-18-2002 05:48 AM

My 2 cents: My '88 TII is a 5-lug. I thought all TII's were five lug.

vosko 09-18-2002 08:33 AM

86-88 BASE and SE had 4 lug. that's all everything else is 5 lug https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png
