Hello ( didnt kno where else to put it )

[Ed_RX7]

yes that car used to be owned by frankie before nell....yes it was well looked after by both owners.

Just realised ive been watching arious vids and read countless webpages for the last 3 hours.

At least I now know how the engine works, but I warn you guys, ive got a load of questions.

The way the rotary works look so unnatural to me, Guess its juts not how im used to seeing an engine run, Bet there nice and easy to work on though.

Might head down to a scrap yard and see if i cant pull a wrecked one out to stick in the garage and pull to peices.

Only information I have not been able to find so far is the differences between the models " RB, R1, R2, RS, S ", A post im missing somewhere ?

Also the as above im looking at a 93 K reg, whats the difference between the various models of the 3rd gen, Have they improved with age, or id they peak like the S2000 in 02 ( in my opinion )

All info appreciated, sorry for my catastrophic(speeling wut?) lack of knowlege.

Bed time for me, ready for a hard day of RX7 revision.. cough.. I mean work tomorrow.

yep!

Check out the third sticky in the "General Queries" forum,

and also here:

Still cant find that sticky... cant even see the general queries forums :S

but from that second link, woudl i be right that the K reg im buying is a Gen3 Version 2 ?

And how would i go about finding out what " Type " it is ?  Tourign X/R etc....

thank fo the info so far though slowly learning

[FDAsh]

Look for this sticker in the door shut:



That will tell you what you have. There are other telltale factors too, for instance Type RSes have larger brakes and firmer suspension, Touring models have leather and cruise control and so on.

[DSNorth]

More good info, thanks a lot,

So is there a particular Gen3 that people favor ? I see one is putting out a bigger lump of horses ?

Are there any massive diffrences between different models and types, the stiffer suspension for example, for the lower HP models, is this hp gain somethign tht can be done to the other models ?

Sorry for all the questions, im sure you must have answered them a million times, I hope im not askign to many things that are available on the boards, I try to have a good look through

[trotter]

I wouldnt worry too much about the horse number. All 13b-rew\'s are the same engine. A good exhaust, induction kit and mapping sesh will see them all hit the same sort of figures!

If you have a Type-R, it will also have twin oil coolers btw....

[DSNorth]

Well this is what i managed to look through,

Version 2
----
[SIZE=-1]Suspension refreshed (Rear softened) - Not an issue, has a set on.
[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]Added Rear stiffener bars to rear sub frame - Not a problem 4 bolts
[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]White fog lamps - 40 quid from a scrappie ?
[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]Black gauge bezels - Anyone really care ?
[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]Speedo design change - Ill have a look, but I would guess I could change them if i want.
[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]Option[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]al sunroof changed  to  glass - Not really a big deal, Changable ?
-----
Version 3
-----
[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]Rear Wing changed to Dolphin type with two stays - Not keeping anyway
     Rear view mirror double jointed - Replaceable
     Boot interior light deleted - Meh !
     -----
[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]Big brakes 314 mm - A big difference ?
     Front calliper leading piston changed - Reasons ? Replaceable ?
     Hard type Torsen LSD [/SIZE][SIZE=-1]4.3 Final - What was the FD previously ?[/SIZE]
-----

All in all, i dont really see anything in the various models that I would really care about / could not upgrade / replace myself.

These twin Oil coolers, Im sure have cooling benefits, but the information I can find does not mention anythign abuot when they were put in or if there needed etc...

I just wonder what other information im missing out on

Anything ive missed ?

Thanks as always

[trotter]

Yeah, for the most part the changes are cosmetic.

As for oil coolers, i\'m positive of all \'93 cars it was only the Type-R which got them.

[DSNorth]

so are the twin coolers I would be keeping on the car wen i start pushing for more power, or would they get swapped out with the rest,
Does the oil need 2 cooler s?

Tbh, i\'m not sure. But if Mazda engineers decided it was a good idea on a standard car i\'d be inclined to keep them on a tuned one!!

[DSNorth]

That was the way i looked at it until i found out it was only on 1 model, Would be interesting to see why the deemed it needed for 1 model, and no others :S

Has anyone got a link to another page with details on all the spec.
