i don\'t think we got any different models in the UK ... just an RX7 and you added on whatever extras you wanted/were available ... I don\'t think we even got the option of an auto ?

Title: emissions
Post by: richrx on November 07, 2002, 02:34:44 AM
i\'ve read in various books and american site/forums about how thw rx-7 can struggle to pass emission tests. Is that true in this country? or are they more leniant with the tests? and will a rotary pass an emissions test with a street port or does it have no chance?:confused:

Hi Richard,
UK cars only came in one spec fully loaded !!, officaly known as European spec they came with  sun roof, cruse air con etc easy to spot as they have a rectangular rear No plate not a square one, they are all badged as just RX-7s .

l beleive there are 15 different models (3rd Gen) to have come out of Japan with the closest one to a UK car being the type X ie top spec , a lot just seem to have say a suspension upgrade then are given a different designation .

There were only ever 124 brought into country officaly from Mazda ( l know because they told me ) from 92 to 96, the 0 to 60 depends on where you read some say 4.9 some 5.1 or 5.2?
Hope this helps .

All the Best Clive.
