insurance

[putty_thing]

According to information I\'ve found on rx7club.com the FCs were produced uptil 92, so anything on the insurer\'s system after that should be an FD, also, all the FDs were twin turbo and from the few compainies I\'ve phoned they\'ve usually had that down.

However, the site I got the information from is US based, so I\'m not sure if the years of manufacture would vary - does anyone know for sure when the UK spec RX7s were produced and sold?

right, so after doing some more clicking around, can anyone tell me if the generally recognised displacement for the fd engine is 2354cc? cos thats pretty much all i need to know for the elephant quote! if i can confidently tell them that that is the enging size and no 2616cc then i\'ll be sorted!

I got quoted both those numbers for various years too - I thought it was 2616.

i thought it was 2616 too, but on tesco and first alternative, the only options are for 2354! for any year!

the first quote i got was for 820 quid, i was well pleased, but now this is doin my head in and im worried that getting insurance is going to be a problem and stop me getting one! which would be mighty infuriating!

the engine size should be 2600! ive seen what you are talking about though you tell them the year of the car then when you say the engine size is 2600 they say we only have 2300 showing here and the it becomes a pain in the ass trying to convince them that it a 2600.

Opps, I should have looked harder - there is good information on the years in the stickies here: http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=40

However, the real question is still not what the cars actually are, but what the insurance companies think the cars are.
