My Name's Tyler and I'm from Lincoln Nebraska. I currently drive a 2002 cougar XR but have it at the body shop getting ready to sell. I have looked very strongly into getting late model RX-7. They have always been my available dream car and now that I have saved up a while I will be able to get one. I am new to mazda's so if anybody has any helpful information I would appreciate it!

I know a lot of people get upset when people ask questions aksing certain things about forum topics w/o searching. I am part of the stree scene in lincoln so I know how things go. I have recently found out that being new to a site makes things difficult to navigate. Would somebody direct me to a topic that explains the difference between the FB FC or the FD. Thanks

This is a very general explanation, I'm not the expert. I may be a year off.
FB is the 1st generation RX-7, not sure what year they started, 1978? made until 1985.
FC is the 2nd generation RX-7, from 1986 until 1991, I think. Included the TII (single turbo), and the convertible.
FD is the 3rd generation, all twin turbo, from 1992 until 1995 in the US I believe, I think it went until 2002 in Japan.
For more details about each car and possibly more correct answers, check out the generation-specific forums.

I thought there was a single turbo model?

Alright just that brief information was a lot of help. I am looking for a FD around but they pose to be very difficult to find as you all know. N/A would deff. be the way for me to go as of now and I have done my research in the maintenance that they are going to take to keep up with. I will check the classified section but do you guys happen to know of any around for sale at a reasonable price?
