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

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

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...


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+)
