All NorthAmerican FD's are officially 93, 94, or 95 models - Production started in DEC 1991 (Jspec production started in Oct 91 and continues through 02) and ended in DEC 1995, MAZDA started taking orders at the 1992 LA Auto Show w/ first customer deliveries in March/April 1992, some Dealers had new 95's available as late as April 1996.

95 was the last year that they were brought over. But some don't have a ticket of sale until 96...but the VIN makes them a 95.

RX-7's actually appeared in the 1996 Mazda sales catalogs in the U.S. but the cars being sold were left over '95 models.

It would have cost Mazda over $5 million to make the 7 comply with the OBD II standards which went into effect in 1996, and having sold only 500 '95 RX-7 models (and very slowly at that.....leftover new 94's were still on dealers lots in the spring and summer of '95)....well, you do the math.
