Can you tell a R1 from the VIN number?

you can call mazda and give them the vin and they can look up what model your car is. it's pretty easy to change the spoiler, front spoiler. not as easy to change seats and dual oil coolers, but it can be done. just call mazda. there's a number floating around here somewhere.

A typical RX-7 VIN looks like: JM1FD3311P0200001
In order, the fields are as follows:

"JM1" "World Manufacturer Identifier" for Mazda
"FD" RX-7 series
"33" body style ("33" = coupe)
"1" "Misc ID field" (1993: "1" = US, "2" = Canada.)
.......................................(1994: "3" = manual seat belts, 2 airbags)
......................................(1995: "3" = manual seat belts, 2 airbags)
"1" "Check Digit" (used to verify that a VIN is not bogus)
(calculated for each car)
"P" year model code (1993 = "P")
.......................................(1994 = "R")
.......................................(1995 = "S")
.......................................(Q was not used)
"0" assembly plant code ("0" = Hiroshima)
"200001" serial number (1993: started with 200001)
.......................................(1994: started with 300001)
.......................................(1995: started with 400001)


And exactly what part of that lets you know it's an R1/R2/Touring/Pep/Peg/ect?

No cruise control is a telling item.

Mazda will be able to tell you model, and paint code from the VIN.

its called a warrenty vehicle inquiry detail
it includes year,model,color(interior and exterior)engine#trans type and a lot of info that really shouldn't be available to just anyone who asks for it.
when you go make sure you have your registration or proof of ownership with you(if I worked there I wouldn't give the info without it)

Bases didn't come with cruise either.

Yes they did, check the original brochure. I've owned 3 base models, all had cruise.

That's "the bunch of ****" that I was wondering about

cavellm

You woke up a year and a half old thread for that?

quicksilver_rx7

It was because of this one that's new on the list. I followed the link and started reading the old one. I just thought it was funny reading a post from a crackhead

You're a stronger man than me if you can understand what that fool typed. I read it 9 times and still thought it was a different language.
