hi i just want to knowr if someone can tell me exactly what trim this car is?
its says bathurst type r and the guy recon's it has the 208kw and bigger brakes but i'm thinking its more like a RB, RB-S or just a Type R. is there anything on the car that says what trim/model it is? in the vin number or anything ??

car doesnt have carbon handbrake, gear *** which i thought came with bathurst models.

No idea. Moving to the main forum to get knowledgable eyeballs on it.

Not a Bathrust R
They came with CF interior, coilvers, and the decal on the B Pillar

FD3S-604218 Type R 280hp with 16inch wheels
FD3S-604219 Type R 280 hp with 16inch wheels

Those are the 5 Innocent Blue Mica RX-7 models with the VIN "FD3S-60421X" . All of them were produced March 18, 2002. The car you posted sadly isn't a Bathurst model.

That's what he is saying but the car for sale isn't a Bathurst R like stated in the ad for sale.

From looking at the pics again. Its either a RB-S or a type R
The giveaway was the RB's had no wiper. But since the vin check determined it was a Type R so it has the 280ps motor. But not a Bathrust R.

Kinda pricey for $35K American but 18000+ miles isnt bad.

It's not a Bathurst R, it's an R Bathurst....they're different models, believe it or not.

In the last months of FD production, only four models of FD's were being made. They were the Spirit R Type A, B & C and the Type R Bathurst.

Here's the Press Release for the Type R Bathurst:

If you're chasing any info on any Series 8 FD, come see us down at FDRX7.com

I have all the model info and can decode any VIN.

Cheers.

Funny you mention that. It states it in the description, but the title is wrong.

It's a very common issue with that car sales website.

The sellers can only choose the model of the car they want to sell from a drop down menu.....and the menu is written by some bonehead who knows little about the FD3S, obviously.

Gomez

.....and it's just as well you did, 'cos this is the only subforum I visit!!

Good move
