VIN checks...

I signed up for a vin check, and I have the next 60 days of unlimited vin scans. IF you would like me to run it, and let you know what comes up, just email me, or hit my up on AIM, and I will be happy to run it for you.

When I ran mine, my "turbo II" came back as...
Vehicle
1987 Mazda Rx7 Base Model

is this normal, or is my T2 a base conversion? Doesn anyone have a link to vin decoding information?

It should come up as a turbo ii. Whered you get the vin? Off the firewall (not the dash)? Under the hood? On the door? Unless it was off the firewall, the part you got it off maybe has been replaced.

I matched the build plate (silver plate, on fire wall passenger side) with the stamp on the fire wall, and that is the vin I got back.

I ma actually glad it comes up as a base, if it was a T2 con version, or not. If the vin comes back to a base, my insurance will be lower
