Jm1?
Is it normal for my car's ID # to start with JM1FC3....
I thought that all FC's started with FC or is this totally normal? Does this mean it was made in Japan and shipped over here? |
Yes that is normal to have the vin# start out like that. every single fc vin will star out like JM1FC3. EVERY FC WAS MADE IN JAPAN AND SHIPPED OVER. sorry it was a redundant question.

hey, my VIN says JM1FC33, I thought it was supposed to be FC3S? |
Ahhh man, do we have to go through how to read a VIN again???:( :( :(
okay... one more time: 1st digit: manufacturing country: J=Japan, 1=USA, 2= Canada, 4=USA, K=Korea, L=Tiawan. 2nd digit: Manufacturing company: F=ford, M=Mazda Japan Hiroshima (Toyo Koygo), Y=Mazda of America. 3rd digit: Vehicle/production line Type: V=passenger car, 1=Passenger car Japan, 2=Truck, 3=multi-purpose vehicle. 4th and 5th Digit: Model: FB=RX-7, FC=RX-7, FD=RX-7, NA=Miata, UF=B2000/B2200/B2600, etc. 6th and 7th digit: Body style: 31=2door coupe, 32=2 door coupe turbo, 33=RX-7, 34=convertible turbo, 35=convertible. (intresting to see that Mazda North America did register the vert both in Turbo and NA form) 8th digit: misc code (seat belt type/air bag/engine etc): 1= coupe, 2= turbo, 3= coupe w/o auto should belt, 4= turbo w/o auto should belt (note that these are not consistent, for example a S5 'vert without airbag will also have a 1, and a S5 'vert with airbag will have a 2). 9th digit: check digit 10th digit: year: G=86, H=87, J=88, K=89, L=1990, M=1991, N= 1992, P= 1993, R=1994, S=1995, etc. (note that o and i and q and other digits that can be mistaken for numbers are not used). 11th digit: Final assembly plant: 0= Hiroshima, 0= Hofu, 5= Flatrock, U= Louisville. 12th through 17th digit: serial number: (coupes) 1986=100001- 200000 1987= 500001- 600000 1988= 600001- 700000 1989= 700001- 800000 1990= 800001- 900000 1991= 900001- 950000 (verts) 1988= 100001- 200000 etc. Mazda's internal designations for the 747 production was FC3S for the coupes and FC3C for the 'verts. |
