Just to clarify

Just a quickie/comment:

Checked out my VIN plate tonight (been AGES since I did that).....

Model: SA22C. In america, that's the Rx7's from 1979 - 80 right?

and FB is from 81-85?

Just wondering why they didnt label it an FB... Mine was built in April 85.... must just be an aussie thing with the SA22C...hmmmm..

I know it's a S3, we alll do, just curious, I never noticed it until now.

PS: Rx7 going in for full body respray on Saturday (two days time) will post pics tomorrow of before - then in a few weeks after the spray.

I'm pretty sure the FB designation was only used in the States. Everywhere else they're SA's.
