Alright! so I'm not going to rip apart my LS. I have been persuaded by all, that a resto job on this one is the better option. Besides, with so few, I would feel bad. I just wanted an fa, or fb. I might have another one comming my way anyway.

I need a line on were to have my engine rebuilt. I want to keep the matching numbers. I live in new england, anyone with any ideas or recomemdations?

Then again, I would be willing to trade it for another first gen... If the deals good, of coarse.

 

FA?

 

fa is the first model, couple sent over in 78 for trial sales, then the fa ran till 81? (someone else correct my history...) The LS model that I have is one of 3000 brought into the country in 1980.

 

Oh, you mean SA.

 

do I? I was under the impression that the first were fa, change the bumpers and lights a little, then the fb ran until 85ish. No? Isn't that when the second gen took over (fc)?

 

Sa>fb>fc

 

Its an SA

We get the nicknames from the vins

 

The first RX-7 was a series one, which was the SA22C. Then in 80 it went over to the FB, which was series 2 and 3. Then in 86 it went into the second generation, or FC3S.

That's in America, though. Overseas the RX-7 was the SA22C until 86 and never had an FB designation.
