are you looking for the whole car, or just parts?

www.autotrader.com worked for me, found mine there :)

or you can just go to www.rx7club.com to get info directly from the owners :D

i'll want a whole car, either bone stock or supped up a bit, but in good condition.... its my dream car and i want to start preparing to get it

its part of the VIN and how we describe different generations.

FB (sa22c) - first gen
FC= 2nd gen
FD= third gen

um, it's actually based on their CHASSIS CODE

SA22C - 1st gen
FC3S/FC3C - 2nd gen
FD3S - 3rd gen

even the VIN is based on the chassis code, but i digress ;)

eh, I usually see it as SA for Series 1 (79-80), and FB for Series 2 & 3 (81-85)

I want a first gen. I love them :)

i love all of them but i think my absolute favorite is the 3rd gen, they just look freakin sweet. although i hear the earlier engines are way better than the third gen ones

the older oens are "better: because most of them are N/A and not *quite* as easy to blow an apex ;)

12A all the way! Actually the GSL-SE is probably the most reliable out of "the box," being the simple first gen, but having EFI and all the goodies :). I was talking to some dumbass who was trying to tell me that '4th' gen RX-7s were unreliable... :rolleyes:


ok...so maybe you can't beat em like a corolla, but get the reliability mods done and you're pretty well off :) How about going from the seq. turbo to a single turbo setup? Bit less complicated? :)

damn it .... i wish i had an RX-7

my ultimate favourite would have to be a FD, I would love a 2002 RX-7 Spirit 'r'

i wanna get a S5 TII within a year. maybe even one that has a motor in bad condition, as long as it looks good, n visuals in good cond, cuz then i can try to work on the engine, n start doing stuff to it.

I want an FC so bad. I almost love them as much as FDs. I wouldn't mind having an S4 as a first RX-7 either. the SA22Cs are pretty nice too, but i'm looking pretty much FC + (S4+)
