EURO vs JDM vs USA FD VERSIONs
 

Hi all

I was really upset when i found yesterday that my front washer tank is missing. I contact another friend that has a FD rx7, but his version is the USA one and he old me that there were some versions of the car that only had the rear washer tank.

So i really would like to open a thread where member can put here the diferences between the versions that were sold.
What is know is that the European versions had "almost" all the extras and from what i can say here goes

EURO versions STOCK sold ( besides stock equipment that was comum with other markets) they had it stock.

- Twin engine oil coolers
- R1 front spoiler
- R1 rear spoiler
- rear mud guards only
- leather seats
- rear fog lights
- 5 speed manual with cruise control
- R1 front shock tower support brace
- front headlights with water sender shower
- front headlights with light position regulation
- rear wiper blade/washer

So, here goes my problem, i don`t know if the front washer tank is stock to all versions.

Anyone that would like to add some info, please tell me something.

Thanks

Hi

I forgot to tell that Euro cars didn`t have the front fog lights, and near their places is one front hook, to pick up the car in case of accident or car failure.

How about USA / JDM cars front hook location? and my front washer tank that is missing? :) - My both front and rear windshield water splash work and the headlights water splash works too.

I would like someone has a brochure or info to tell what is stock and what is not....

Thanks

front headlights with light position regulation

oh I want this! could be inmensely useful to those that are getting the sakebomb hid projector conversion!

Well, Sounds like to me someone changed things on your car.

Far as I know, windshield washer reserve tanks are in the same location for all FDs. Why don't you also take some pictures of your engine bay and inside of your hatch.

The euro ones have the rear washer tank that is MASSIVE, perfect for AI, they're pretty sought after.

How massive? Pics please :)

Stole this pic from a thread on here, mines a JDM RX

HOLY GEEBUS! That is huge! i learned something new :)

Ceylon, Help me find one of those for me :)

Hi

So, the FDs euro cars don`t have the front washer tank is that correct?

That is great pictures. Can you give pics of the engine bay?

Thanks

Posted up a wanted thread for you, will let you know :)

Sweet! Thanks!

If you want to come to DGRR, free admission for you :)

damn that is awsome! i gotta get me one of those...

Haha, I'd love to, but my car cant cross oceans I'm afraid :( - Thanks all the same though :icon_tup:

I may come over later this year for some of the large rotary meets, over here its really lacking in that dept!

My car is a Jap import and it has the same massive washer water tank in the rear.:icon_tup:

Odd, I thought it was only on the Euro cars with front light washers & rear wipers. What model is your FD?

Next big rotary car event is 7stock.. But both are bit different.

So

Is that possible that Euro cars didn`t have the front washer tank? Can someone help me on this?

Thanks

If you were using this for WI or MI, or any type of AI that your engine is pretty much dead if the system fails under boost, wouldn't this tank be highly susceptible of starvation? It's so wide, it seems like any kind of turn under boost and you'd starve the system.

Any thoughts?

So, i went to search on some UK rx7 car clubs and i found this 1993 FD Euro spec on sale. :nod:
It has low miles and unmolested car - told by seller - and its very close with my car, so the Euro FD cars, didn`t have the front washer tank as you can see in the pics below

Front pic - car without fog lights and with front hook.

erm...its the 1994 efini R something....:scratch: it doesn't have the front light washer but does have the rear wiper if that helps, no front washer tank.

Post some pics of it & I can tell you what model it is. A 94 R2 has no rear tank at all (I should know...I own one! :lol:)

The tank has a few pumps to prevent that I believe. I've seen a few of people use them without issues on track :)

My Canadian tourning has headlight washer and the tank in the rear also.

anybody know how much liquid the rear washer tank holds ???

i noticed in pictures off spirit r the center console does not go all the way back to the bins. it stops a foot short. i always thought that was weird.

All jdm rx7s are like this, its to accomodate the rear seat option (not pictured)
