I went and looked at a TII vert with a friend last night... I want one :rofl: Top-down boost is such an awesome concept.

Best 7 ever.....can't go wrong with a TII Vert.

Yeah tell me about it Hass!

I had an '88 (white/blue) and I have a '91 (white/black)
The '88 was showroom stock when I got it and crumpled like tinfoil when she died.
I take that back, the passenger compartment was wonderfully intact.
The '91 had been played with before I got her, so she may or may not see a TII swap.

My '88 needed new struts and I decided to go with KYB AGX for the replacements. The fronts adjust (1 soft, up to 4 stiff) at the top of the strut and the back ones are adjustable (1-8) from under the car. Since Verts don't have the same rear shock towers as coupes, this was my main selling point.
That and when I asked about 3 diff models, the guy I purchased them from replied:

"The tokico rides very smooth, the KYB AGX is damping adjustable so you can set the comfort rate, it's my favorite, The KYB gr2 is a very good choice but valved just a little stiffer than the Tokico HP"

I liked the AGX's so much that even though my '91 doesn't need new struts, I bought another set. This time with Eibach lowering springs.
Now if I can find a 5-speed transmission, I should be all set.
Aloha,

Congrats on the recent addition! May you enjoy for years to come.

I've always had a soft spot for KYB and appreciate the advice. The current set up is non-adjustable KYB but I agree adjustable would be better.:driving: Consider them added to my 'want' list. Thanks!

I saved a post from elsewhere a couple of years ago. HE got his info from an R. L. POLK report he had obtained, said complete accuracy was debatable but most likely close enough.

As of January of 2007. Registered in the USA at the DMV.

1988 RX7 CONVERTIBLE - 5461 Units
1989 RX7 CONVERTIBLE - 1532 Units
1990 RX7 CONVERTIBLE - 2367 Units
1991 RX7 CONVERTIBLE - 2253 Units

I guess this will help if I ever decide to sell mine!

how many 92s are out there though? THOSE are the numbers I wanna know.

Per Wiki, Production ceasing in October 1991 after Mazda marketed a limited run of 500 example for 1992 for the domestic market only.
Happy hunting!

ah, so the 92's never left Japan? I dunno Parrot, wikipedia is not the most reliable source but I have no other info...

Great info. Got to wonder how many, like my '89, are sitting out there unregistered & waiting for a new life.
