What color is my car?
 

Okay okay, I know it's brown but what did Mazda call it? I've seen "Havana Brown" but that's a dark brown, mine is much lighter. The car in my avatar pic is mine. It's an 85 GS. So... does anyone know? TIA

Maybe its one of those browns that manufactures try to pass off as "Gold" or something.. any gold names?

check the paint code under the hood and i'll see what i can find
its on the passenger side of the firewall nice and easy to read

light poo brown.

lol no, im about to own a brown car so no dissin the brown man
wheres brown mound when i need him?

Jon Booker's site has a paint code database.

lol..... my brother calls is baby $h!T brown... but he's just envious. :)

BTW, the paint code is T9

ok per John Balls book "Mazda RX-7"83-84 (t5) is Havana Brown and 85 (t9) is Desert Brown. both areMetallic with clear coat acrylic enamel. page 19

I still like Poo Poo Brown :)

So hat's the official name for the grey offered in 85? (my car) It's not here, so I can't pull the paint code right now...

dave has poo brown power now too. whats with the poo brown revolution? :)

It was the style at the time. Just like peus green was in, in the '70's. :)

It is in Al Kharj, about an hour from Riyadh. I am only TDY here so no Rx-7:( . I do have a lovely Chevy Multi-stop Deisel van. It handles like crap, but plenty of power.:D

I will be back in Texas with my Rx-7s soon though. :p:

YAY!

I've archived the info BadAss dug up in a permanent table at http://www.wigglepup.com/RX-7/ref_pc.php

Somehow I knew this was gonna happen :rolleyes: Okay then.... poo brown it is.

;)

Hi all:

I guess I have a "rare" color RX-7. What in the hell was Mazda thinking when they painted the RX-7 LIGHT BEIGE?? It must be the pre-Desert Storm color for the RX-7. I'm not complaining since I have not seen another RX-7 in my color in New England. Anyone else have an 85 with light beige?

There's one sitting in a junkyard near me. It's got a big *dent* in the roof and looks like a POS. I bet yours looks good though. :)

All ya'll brown haters can just step the f- off and wipe my poo poo off your windshield the next time I pass your "ass."

Don't ever, EVER talk that way about the Mound.

Right on.
