Ok...I've got an RX but what does fc stand for?
Fc is the second gen of Rx-7's(Gx,GXL,TII etc.)
Fd is ther third gen(twinturbo touring R1,R2)
the the first gens are the other one i can't remember i think it is FB but not quite sure on that one!
And i know what you were going throuh i just went through having to learn all the lingo my self!
if you are wondering where they go those from they are in the VIN #'s

There were also SA2 first gens.
The SA2, FB. FC. and FD were identifiers in the vin.
My question is where does the 3S come from in the FC3S and FD3S.
FC vins are...
FC33 for coupes
FC35 for the verts

ALL FC's in Japan came with VIN's that start with "FC3S" - i.e. FC3S-xxxxxx.
The North Ameican VIN's seem like Mazda was required to adhere to some weird standard...

I thought it was FC3S for coupes, and FCS3 for verts or something like that
and FD3S for third gens, FB3S for 81-85 1st gens, SA22C for 79-80 first gens
or SA, FB (FB is most common nickname for any year of first gen), FC, or FD
RETed: I never knew that, hmmm
