Title: What Model Is My Rx7
Post by: chorsman on March 23, 2012, 12:16:13 AM
Alright folks, I have a Jap imported FD3S. Its on a \'J\' 1992. It has efini badges but they could have just been added on. Its a twin turbo, twin oil cooler model and has rear leather seats. I read last night that this could mean it being a limited edition? I am getting my VIN number emailed to me tomorrow as I am currently away from home. I am looking to sell the car but want to ensure I get the model correct.

Type RB, simply stands for Type R \'Base Model\'.... sadly there\'s nothing \'Limited Edition\' about it!
Of course, each and every one of our RX7\'s, are indeed Special to us :)

The only Special editions are FD\'s with something writen under where it says Special Edition on the door stickers. Bathhurst, Spirit R and RSR i think are a few.
This is a common mistake.

Funny mine says bathurstR2 has the carbon seats, rear bins and deleted rear wipers, also a factory rear tint.

I\'m lost with model variations, its a 94m btw

What are the first three letters in your VIN? Type "X"s started with JAD or JBD depending on 5 speed or auto. Type "R"s start with JAE. And finally, Type "S"s start with JAA OR JBA depending on 5 speed or auto respectively. This is for \'92s. Doubt it changed through the years.
