Confused
I found this 1987 RX-7 and it has no turbo markings or boost gauge it even has 14 inch steel wheels. Anyway I did a carfax on the vin and it said that it was a turbo car and it was manufactured in japan. Is it possible that it could be a turbo or a mistake on the vin.
:confused: |
i think someone had said that they all say turbo.
|
carfax can't tell a turbo from a non turbo. I think they get them backwards. Just another piston lover out to get us rotary supporters.
|
i doubt someone would remove a turbo from a rotor...

Man, you memorize VIN codes? Crazy.

Let's break it down! :) "J" = country origin, "J" is for Japan, standard for all VINs "1" is USA "2" is Canada "3" is Mexico "M" = manufacturer, "M" is for Mazda, standard for all Japan manufacturers "T" is for Toyota "H" is for Honda "A" is for Mitsubishi "1" = check digit, for fraud "FC3" = model type, FC3S, standard for Mazda (as rest of VIN) "3" = 3-door coupe "5" is convertible "1" = non-turbo, U.S. standard "2" is turbo, U.S. standard this next digit is a big ? - I've seen everything from numerals to "X" in here "H" = date code, 1987 "G" is 1986 "J" is 1988 "K" is 1989 "L" is 1990 "M" is 1991 "0" = factory code, Hiroshima - they should be all "0" here as Mazda only has one automobile plant in Hiroshima Last 6 digits are the serial number of the vehicle -Ted |
