Have often thought of how many out of the 350 remains....
If you would..provide the following info...

Name
Location
Vehicle Identification Number
Mileage
Modifications
Status

I assume this would provide for great use to those who
have and are seeking a CYM. A website to follow.
Proof required.

You can provide proof of its authenticity by supplying a pic
of the door jamb sticker containing the color code and Vin..
with firewall stamp.. and or
Vin plate located in the corner of the driver side windshield ..

Please forward to other forums...and the chance of sticky
status ? Thanks ahead.

 

im up for it, but i dunno about posting my VIN online for all to see...

 

Ahhhh ... elitism among RX-7 owners.

 

any info preferred to be omitted for online viewing will be at the owners discretion

 

this is a better example of it...

Haha u nerds. I'm gonna start the Silverstone touring registry! so there!!

 

I'm going to do a red single turbo with Maryland license plates registry.

 

I would think it would be easier to just keep all registries on the same website, http://www.rx7registry.com .

 

Hi, my name is Mike. I own a 93 SSM. I have owned it for amost 4 years now and it has 90k miles. I live in FL

 

You could always edit out the last 6 digits of the VIN. Or, an even simpler way of doing it, cover them up with masking tape before you snap the pic

 

looking to differentiate from those who have repaints and a factory build CYM......
it doesnt provide for a repainted selection...
its easy enough to make claims that you have a true CYM with a complete paint job...
the site makes no provisions to substantiate your claim...
only way to do that is through vin and paint code...

 

He is gonna have a copy of your keys as well as your locations :0

hehe nah I'm just kidding

BTW: Who cares if its yellow or not? Personnaly I don't care what color RX-7 come in, as long as it runs and runs good, it's all good
Why hate?

 

no hate...no exclusion...no bias...no elitism
as in any other items of rarity..it needs to be authenticated...
just figured that with the limited production of the CYM that it would be beneficial that they are authenticated and documented...
you bring up a good point on the keys...
although i always assumed for that to be effective...you require proof that you own the car prior to ..
as ive stated earlier..it will not be published without the consent of the owner....
thought it would be neat as well to have a CYM gathering in the near future...

 

There were less than 20 SSM R2s built for 95.
Just an observation

 

and how would u differentiate it from an SSM 95 base with an R2 conversion...
additional oil cooler..spoilers...strut bar and suade seats..
only bolt ons to complete
just to prove a point...a registry authenticating would benefit.
in the SSMs case...unless you have the original dealer stickers it would be difficult to substantiate your claim

 

Hey so I just dug up this super-old thread since I was thinking exactly the same thing just now. Did a registry ever get formed for cyms?

 

noone was willing to give up their vins..

 

Or people could have used the registry site that Railgun69 and I made months ago. You can leave off the check digit on the VIN and it makes them borderline impossible to guess. I think my site had the same issue with people not wanting to give up VIN's but such is the life of the paranoid I guess.

Personally, I think the only thing needed is a pic of the color code in the door jam and the first few letters of the VIN. These first letters designate whether or not the car was a US or Canadian model. Other than that, there's no way for a complete VIN to verify if it's an R1 or not.

Basically, if it's a U.S. spec CYM (J9) color code hardtop, it's one of the 350.

It's not like we've got a vast underground of people out there trying to create CYM clones

 

Apparently not even yourself . You could always break the ice by being first.

How about a shot of the door jam, picture post, and first few VIN letters to verify US spec. That should be enough huh? (or Eh? for those Canadians)
