Title: Effini
Post by: monkeyboy on December 03, 2003, 10:13:55 AM
I got my RX7 back in sunny july and at the same time i also got a house!!! so as most of you can guess i didnt get any \'quality\' time with my little red machine.

Only now when its wet do i get to really look at the car and plan how i can spend my second mortgage!!!!!

I just want to know what the Elfini means on my car... It does not have a single mazda badge just the effini logo!!!

So what is effini (if iv spelt is correctly)

Efini is  French word meaning in English INFINITY.

Actually I may have got it wrong.
The 2nd gen RX7 had Anfini on them(In Japan) which meant infinity.
The word effini may be made up. Some times the Japanese spell words in English diffrent ways due to their pronunciation.
Anyone else know?
Kind regards
Carl

Ive heard that as well over the years
like SUPRA = super can\'t think of any others at the mo. but there is more.
Thought that was why every thing was no.s or leters
like  FTO GTO GTR32/33  and of course 323 mx6 RX7
But could be wrong:rollin

No afaik it doesn\'t mean shit, it was just the brand for selling high performance Mazdas, bit Toyota using the Lexus name over ere... later it was rebranded back to Mazda.. me thinks
