JM1FB3312F0872831 got this car for for free. Perfect body, perfect paint new tires and trim is in great condition. Interior is original so it’s worn. 115,000 Miles. I know nothing about these vehicles but I heard they are a blast to drive. Won’t start so I’ll have to take it into a shop here in Tucson. Could use a referral for a shop specializing on these cars

Banzai Racing RX7 Vin ID

Thank you. Yes I saw that online too. After I asked the Forum. I was still confused because after the 33 there is a 12. I was expecting to see a 1 or a 2 only, not 12. So I didn’t know if that ment it was a 12a or a 13b. So this is a 1.3 thank you. Doesn’t start but engine is very clean looking for a 1985 car. I’ll have to take it into a shop find out what’s up. I heard that after about 100,000 mi they need to be rebuilt. �� Is that true?

Thank you all for al your help. So it’s a 12A 1.1 not a 13B 1.3. Bummer I thought all 84--85 were 13b.

The engine itself has a 12A or 13B on it also.

JM133 1 = 12A
JM133 2 = 13B

I don't think any of the VIN services like CareFax etc... can go back after a certain year.

The services only go back to 1980 because they started numbering A=1980 for the 10th digit.

only the gsl-se in 84-85 came with the fuel injected 6 port 13B.

Mazda doesn't even go back that far either, its 81+
