The vins are different between the GTUs that is stamped with a new vin, making it a different model of GTUs than those who are not restamped with a new vin. The non restamped vins are more rare than the final edition verts vins, making them the rarest vins to have been released by mazda. Thus making it the rarest to have been released. That is how this works, has always worked and will always work. So it is the rarest. Also, check your math buddy...

Good video and that Series 4 10th anniversary is amazing! The optional rear louvres are very rare by the way. The FC convertible was the only '92 model because the FD was an early model year release as a '93 (March-April '92 I think). I just wanted to add there is a shift light in the cluster Mazda added to help the driver get better mileage from the thirsty rotary. There was also an auto adjust switch (normal & sport mode) on the center console that controlled a solenoid on each strut. The four inch rear speakers are in the strut tower in an enclosure and their own amplifier. They have dynamic control bushings in the rear that change rear toe to aid turn in at speed. The GTUs had an aluminum hood and was the only N/A RX-7 to have one. The Japanese models had rear seats that couldn't fit anyone with legs. I love the FC RX-7 and I still have my '86 Sport that I bought in 1992 when I came back from Japan.

[@Idearat]

Late to the game, but a couple items: The wheels are different left & right. The design was intended to draw air from under the car, over the brakes, and outside the car. I had tire guys not pay attention and mount directional tires onto the directional wheels incorrectly and made them re-mount everything. The turn signal and cruise control stalks looked like pinball machine paddles. They took less movement than longer conventional stalks. The cruise control side was especially easy to use, requiring less movement of your hands than even the steering wheel mounted buttons do today. I like the white mirrors. I had a white '86 that was vandalized and required painting one door and replacing both mirrors ( which only came in black then). So I had the mirrors painted to match, giving me body-colored mirrors before they were offered.

I’ve owned a 1987 RX-7 LX since new. It has always had the shift buzzer. Always fun to enter an on-ramp in 2nd, floor it and when the tachometer beeps, I slowly shift to 5th. I’m no race driver, but the handling of mine is so good. It is effortless to keep it where I want it in the lane, to the inch.

[@cobrasvt347]

Been beating on my 87 turbo 2 with a cosmo swap for years, high revs and lots of boost. I swapped in the cosmo due to the added reliability of 3mm apex seals. They have held up flawlessly. 👍

[@7GtwNYkHYs]

f* man, that first person view of going into the driver seat, hearing those beeps, and startup noises made me nostalgia super hard. I daily drove an FC around the Great Lakes region for 3-4 years about a decade ago, rain, shine, and snow, even blizzards. I miss that thing. Sick throwback, Donut

Mine had the sticker. I had an '88 Black Turbo II. An absolute beast. Even quicker with HKS exhaust and hi-flow intake. I clocked a 14.2 1/4 mile in mine. I really appreciated that Mazda didn't even release this with an automatic transmission. It was a driver's car.

My buddy had one in highschool and he would wedge the high beam on and the clear glass would be lite up at night while the parking lights where on. Looked super cool. We got it up to 155 mph one time also.

My immature mind: "Hah, Harm Lagaay"

[@fsfs555]

My GTU had the shift light and a buzzer. The shift light was mostly for fuel economy purposes while the buzzer was, as mentioned, to prevent overreving your engine (more accurately, to avoid overreving the accessories). The 6-port 13B-RE used vacuum-actuated valves to open the aux intake ports. You needed to regularly rev over about 4000rpm for them to open, and you needed to do this fairly regularly or the valves would stick closed.

[@Technotranceism]

I had an identical model year 1991. I noticed one difference between the older 80's 6 port, and the newer version. That was the addition of 2 extra fuel injectors.

[@NinjaForHire]

I use to own one of these until a friend wrecked it. It was a blue 88 and it was definitely a machine all its own after a few aftermarket parts. I remember how it struck fear into me when the rpms would get high, the sound it made and the feel you got while in the driver seat was scary. Nothing I have ever driven has given me that feeling it was a unique experience, I never really got use to redlining in that car. Plus for a little 1.4 rotary the back end always wanted to slide out.

[@ollianddelphine]

I know that it was the best car I ever owned. I had a non power steering model, the handling was just superb. Balanced, great feel, great seating position, great dashboard. The engines are awesome too if you change the oil regularly, mine never broke down once. You get used to being one gear lower than in a piston car. Such fun. I wish I never sold it. The shift buzzer and interior gave me such nostalgia. These things love to be revved. If you have a 3 inch straight through exhaust they will set off many car alarms if you are not careful.

[@engineeringoyster6243]

Mine also has manual steering. I bought it new in 1987 and test drove a GTU. But found it too sensitive. So I bought the LX. That also means that it has 14 inch rims.
