Well, I drive an FC 86' - 91' Most of you guys drive FD's. (which i would love to have)



I am mixed on the Term for the first gen. FB? Or is it SA22?



Beside the point. What is the code for the Rx-8??



I am so use to the terms FC3S and FD3S. anyone know?



BTW the car looks much better in person than it does in pictures. OMG... I was driving down I75 coming back from Orlando... driving towards Tampa. It's about 1 AM. and i see a Semi, With a couple Cars

A few mercedes, a porsche 911 TT, two 350 Z's, and right there on the back (as i passed)



A beautiful brand new.. (still with white tape all over) Blue RX-8. Really an amazing car. see one up close and you'll die. I passed the truck and my friend mike said. wait. "did you see that" SLOW down SLOW down. and i did. WTF. awesome sight



I didnt know you could get them this early. maybe special order??

j9fd3s

the engine follows the fd in numbering sequence

92-95 fd n3a1

96-98 fd n3f1

99-02 fd n3g1

04- rx8 n3h1

It's both, the first 7's were SA's, but then sometime in the early 80's, the US (I think) changed it's policy on VIN numbers and the VIN's on all cars had to be changed and prolonged. At least that's what I heard to some extent.

yeah, it became fb to us, but remained SA22C for the rest of the world
