- This I can answer. A third member is the rear axle, axle housing, differential, and hubs, everything. Now I don't have a clue what are the first and second members. Maybe the engine and transmission?

- Blasting the answer to the list, there seems to be an interest.... The GSL-SE (1984-1985) was the only model of the first gen rx7 to have LSD and rear disc's. Later models (1986+) went to a 5 bolt pa
