I\'ve heard lots about the different types, such as RZ, S, R RB....Mine is classed as an RM. I\'ve heard bits and bobs about this, but noone can give me a definitive answer....
What the hell is a Type-RM? :3Confused
:confused: Had a read through my rx7 book could not find anything about it in there for ya :( im sure some one will know something about it
Random. Someone told me its a Bathurst, but i\'m not sure.

According to that, the RM doesn\'t exist but I recall someone else having one too!
This is the info sticker on the vehicle. Its not an RB because of the hard suspension. It says on the right hand side Type-RM Special Edition.

The special edition is actually the heading, like grade above it. So it\'s just a Type-RM.
If it was a bathhurst it would say it under the special edition heading.
Oh yeah. My apologies. Hmmm, but no closer to the mysterious type-RM.
never herd of a type RM before.
Same here. I doubt its ultra rare, but im just curious to know what the differences are.
Why not email Newera (I\'m assuming that\'s where you got it from the pic!)... I\'m sure they\'ll be able to shed some light on it.
They don\'t know, lol. I\'m not overly concerned but it still remains a mystery. Gonna keep scoobydooing around til i find an answer! lol
Is it the Fuel type ??
Maybe it\'s a Type R Manual?

No, coz its got 5MT under transmition, so they wouldn\'t duplacate info!!

Everyone check your info stickers and see if you have a Type-RM. If not, post here what your Type is. Thanks.
Can\'t believe this thread has gone on so long without anyone using the search button. Your car is a Bathurst.

Like i said at the top, someone on here said it was a Bathurst but that doesnt make sense. The Bathursts didnt have hard suspension which mine has, or indeed had. So how does that work?
What year is yours? The first Bathursts were based on the Type R so would have hard suspension.
:3Confused 1995. Some people on other forums are saying its a Type-R but manual transmission, seems odd to me.
Well that\'s the first year Bathursts were out. I\'ll check the info I\'ve got at home as to exact spec over the weekend.
The manual transmission thing is incorrect. As Jono said above, that\'s already stated on the ID plate, they wouldn\'t add it as part of the designation. Besides, all of the other "Types" would also have to have M or A at the end of their designation to denote transmission and that\'s simply not the case.
:xconfused
I always thought Bathurst were plated as type RB

They are, thats why im quite confused :2Confused
Just looked it up. \'95 Bathursts were based on the Type-R. The Type RB was a separate model (that\'s what I\'ve got).

Damn you Mazda! So what does that mean? Is it a special edition?
It was to begin with. In later years I think it was part of the normal range.
Damnit! I thought my car had legendary status. :(
With all the top notch bits it has on it, I think it\'s beginning to acquire legendary status! :D
Tis true! :D
Off the subject a little, have you heard of shineautoproject? They make replica RE-Amemiya and FEED parts pretty cheap. Not sure if they ship over here but you really can\'t tell the difference!
off the subject a little????????? more like a country mile, mate
EDIT: It\'s your thread, I guess you can take it where you like ;-)
I think someone on here sorted a group buy with them a while back. Looks nice stuff.
Nothing like the real thing though! lol :rollin
not up for fake parts myself means the people who made them in the first place lose money and cant make more good parts
Very true. :cool
After reading this thread, I\'ve just had a look and realised that mine is a type RM as well. So whats the final thought on it. Does it have any real differences?
No idea. We kind of given up. Looks like its a early Bathurst. :xconfused
QuoteNo idea. We kind of given up. Looks like its a early Bathurst.
Ok. So do we know the main differences with the bathurst model that our cars could potentially have as well? Sorry, im sure this has come up in a thread before but I couldnt see any good info in a search.
Its all very vague mate. Noone really knows.
