New Owner asking model definition

[ash]

I would just like to introduce myself, my name is Ash and i have recently bought a 1992 RX7 Black import auto.

My question, i am after what model my RX7 is, i believe its a Type R from reading previous threads etc..but not sure.

The car has Front and rear strut braces, a/c but no climate control, no cruise control, pretty basic inside tbh.

Is there any other way to find out the model? Is the twin oil coolers a give away?

Thanks
Ash

Twin oil coolers where fitted tothe type R, not sure if they where fitted to any other models?

Are Autos not Type X, or maybe S.

See this link.

RB-S is on that last, unless you are saying the info is wrong.

I\'m not an expert but I believe RS and RZ models also have twin oil coolers (mine does)

Have you not got the model details listed just inside your drivers door (on the sill)? Certainly on mine it has the model and other details listed there.

Not sure tbh, i will check tonight. I have the tyre data and pressure etc, but some of its in Japanese. Is there any other giveaways?

Thanks

If its an Auto I don\'t think its a Type R.

Unless someone had an option of installing it.

One oil cooler usually Indicates Type S.

Could be type X.
Seem to be the High Spec Special version for cruising.

That\'s the bit, on mine it says "RX7 Type RS Special Edition" somewhere. If I had a camera I\'d take a picture.

If that weblink above is correct i dont think its a Type X because the manufacturing date was in 1992 not 1993?

Any idea what the factory HP or PS figure was and performance figures e.g. 0-60mph and 1/4 mile?

Thanks

Hi Ash,

You have a base range type S.
Dave you have a rb-s  which is a special edition hence the - at the end of rb. It\'s not the same model as the 99 onwards spec rb-s where the s stands for sports as the rb was the base range on 99 onwards with soft suspension etc etc etc the is the sportier model.
