Bought a FD instead

ZzZzZz

My uncle is rotory mechanic. He told me about that mod because i always bust his balls about rotory reliability. Supposedly it's pretty hush hush, I think it might even be patented.

Because he'll have the money and time, and also, diesels burn better in general, very fuel efficient (running out of oil sometime in the next century, possibly).

How to identify your JDM!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"im still adding to this.

Well there is quite a few import rx7s in Australia, while the S8 *(JDM - S5/S6) Rx7s are quite common as imports in Australia. There has been a number of personal imports that have slowly flooded into Australia. Large numbers of FDs also make their new homes in Canada, Europe and other places.

Well I thought I might make a list of the different types of models of rx7s that were sold within Japan for those who are not sure of what model car theirs is.

Firstly, the vin!

The first digit after FD3S shows the production run,

FD3S1##### = version 1 (1991 - late 1993)
FD3S2##### = version 2 (Late 1993 - 1995)
FD3S3##### = version 3 (1995)
FD3S4##### = version 4 (1996-1998)
FD3S5##### = version 5 (1998-2001)
FD3S6##### = version 6 (2001-2002)

Remember that the models names such as Series 6,7,8 were something that was created in Australia. In Japan, Rx7s are identified as belonging from one of 6 types.

Version 1 (1991- 1993) *all 4 seaters
Type S - base model, front spoiler only, no airbag. Colours the same as type R.

The Spirit R is lovely. Congrats!!

Great car - I talked to a guy with a really clean FD at Laguna a few weeks after I got my car, and I have to admit I did have a spike of jealousy.

That said, most of the FDs around here are so beat on and are old enough that I just didn't want the hassle of yet another Great Car That Always Needs Something (TM). I needed a break from them.

Now if they come out with an FE with the right specs, I'll be all over it

nogoodname

that is one clean Mazda you got, congrats on it.........such a classic car.

i love the RX-7's and Supra's....
