I commented on your thread, at least I meant to.

His isn't LSD equipped if it's an S4 (not updated 2nd gen)

what is an s4 and how do i know if it is one?
also i'm not afraid to put an lsd in it. this is going to be my daily driver, but it's going to be a track car too. full interior, but ready for the track.
not like my crx, gutted to hell and back

i'll probably put my 1k watt sub in it too. nothing better then country music bumping in the ghetto.

Pop country is for ****.

Series 4 was 86-88, Series 5 was 89-91.

Updates were the ecu, body things, as well as some different engine components, mainly the lightened rotors/high CR. But I think one piece eccentric shafts became standard for the Turbo model as well.

I don't remember if there was a GXL model for S5 though, your car could have been in the half way point, built in 88 labeled an 89 or something.

i'll check the build date, but i know it first sold in 1990
also who is talking about pop country, i'm talking about the old ---- i grew up listening to. either that or some hardcore punk or some rockabilly.

The Rocketz are new, The Stray Cats are pretty old.

Rockabily and rotories. How much better could this thread get! I've always wanted a 7. Hell I bought a 1G Rx7 haynes manual just to read and learn about these mysterious creatures and a few other rotoray books. The best part is that I've never owned a 7 before.
