Also, Later model 911 wheels and 951 brakes will fit 87-later 944's without spacers or modification.
Those Rx-7s are great cars. I drove my buddy's 81 model and it was torquey as hell, but I found the lack of power steering scary, should the rear get squirrelly. Maybe his PS was jacked or something, but it was a workout to crank that sucker. You'll find the 944's steering is much more precise and quicker. Women repond better to the sight of the Porsche 944, too.

ok so definetly an 87 or up then,
what are the diferent wheel offsets?
power steering didnt come into play until 1984 on the 1st gens,
it was an option which was very rare on the 12a or 1.1 liter as you may know it,
but was almost standard on the 13 or 1.3 liter.
my brown car pictured above is a 1984 with the very rare option of power steering on a 12a,
the non power steering models had a ****y steering gear to make it easier to turn,
if you drive one with power steerin you will find it is like butter and turns on a dime,
very very touchy,
at higher speeds it mellows out so you can feel the road better,
because the power steering was speed controlled
power steering is however standard on the larger 2nd gens,
i myself dont really care because im used to not having it but if i dont have it i still want the power steering box running dry so i get the closer gear ratio,
also they had a 15" wheel standard "school bus"
so just changing down to a 13" really helps out steering response as well.
btw thanks for the info
