What are the differences between RX7 FC3S S4 & S5.
Notable (able to differenciate by looking), and mechanical.
I know it is a non-Toyota Q. But I value peoples knowledge on this forum and cant think of where else to ask.
Thnx...

are you friggen serious? go to performanceforums.com and ask there, or an RX7 forum.
the differences i know of are
shitty (internal) electricals in series 4, slightly different turbos between them (i think)
thats about all i know.

The most notable difference is the black trim on teh s4's while the s5's have a colour coordinated trim.
The rear lights on teh s4 have 3 seperate sections while the s5 has one large section with 2 afterburners in each light.
s4 don't have mazda embossed on the front bumper either.
The s5's had slightly higher compression as well.

i dont see what the prob is with asking about other cars on a toyota forum.
some illinformed stuff here also.
S4 and S5 both have LSD's, the non turbo S4's come with open tho.
the differneces are
S5 have round lights
S5 Has updated dash with all gauges resting even unlike the S4
S5 has better quality Trimming
S5 has plastic oil filler neck where as S4 is metal
S5 motor has more compression
S5 turbocharger has dual wastegate where as S4 has single
S5 has updated electrics (mazda switched electronics companies in 1987)
thats just some that i can remember off the top of my head.

Series IV electrics generally suck, a lot of them have problems with lights, wiring, dash, etc. Series V, in addition to most of the stuff above, also have a different front bar, different engine, different intercooler, different turbo etc etc etc
A series 5 generally has a few years less wear and tear too

Ahh thnx heaps people. Just I have never seen a S5 and havent been bothered inspecting a S4 inside and out. they just looked very veyr similar to me but sound slike almost completely diff cars... worth the extra money but I am happy with my 86 lol.
Thnx for the links too... I didnt a few forum searches ages back and once I found Toymods and 4age.net i felt at home.. and the other few I stumbled onto werent run as well.

hahahha... my aviator is a joke..
it's a honda accord... BUT YOU FELL FOR IT 
sorry.. thought it was funny.
my rx7 is a series4... but I mocked the front bar, the side trimmings front spoiler tail lights, etc.... with some series 5 ones.
so yeah.. it looks no differnt from a s5 from the exterior. Except it doesnt have a brake light above the liscence plate.
rock on.
