Uhh, I'm new to rotarys and all this......I had a 89 Integra LS *wrecked it* and bought a 88 RX-7.. I read through a couple of the posts and people keep saying FD... What is a FD ???



Explanation of the acquistion of the RX-7: I was racing a couple of my friends in my Teg...The RX-7 I bought and a Caprice with the LT-1 package...First race was me and the RX-7, I won the first by about 1.5 cars, and he won the second by bout 1.5-2 cars. The Caprice killed me by bout 4 cars but what can you expect a 4 cylinder vs. corvette motor v8. Not that yall may have cared just thought I would put a little insight into why I joined...... Peace

 

fd is 3rd generation rx7. brought to us starting in 93 and ending in 95.



yours is an fc, a 2nd gen.

 

Thanks a lot man. Is there anyway you could post up a list of this stuff or a link to the list....I'm just curious and wanting to know as much as I can. That is what I did with Integras (1st gen) and then I wrecked it so......

 

well its pretty simple:



1st gen: 79-85 fb

2nd gen: 86-91 fc

S4 86-88

S5 89-91

3rd gen: 93-95 fd (all twin turbo)

 

isn't the 79-80 1st gen's considered fa's? can't remember where i saw that. i'm not too sure my damn self and just wanted to clear up



and shane.t: that pic is really disturbing. do you go around wearing that? lol jk bro

 

That would be 'sa', not 'fa'.

 

hmm never heard of this sa

 

You've never heard first gens referred to as 'SA/FB'?

 

yeah but i didnt know what it meant. so the 79-80 is the sa and the 81-85 is fb?

 

Not 100% on that, but yeah.
