Question What year/ month was your FD made?

Its been a LONG time from my last post but this has always bugged me.

I have been wondering how close my FD is to being the first out of the factory. Mine was made in Feb/ 92 and is CYM. I really wish I knew what # my CYM was out of the 350. Maybe if I call mazda they they can help me.

Mine was made Jan 1992 it is a vr base model. I also was thinking about that and when looking at my vin number the serial number is in the 1 thousands I dont mean to thread jack but does anybody know if they started from 1 or a 1000?

The white sticker inside the door says something like 8 or 10/1993 but the registration papers say 1994. I bought the car thinking it was a 1994.

Since I'm not familiar with RX7s or US market I don't know which model it is either (r1, r2, touring, base etc.). No bose, no sunroof, no rear wiper, fabric/suedish seats????

March 92, Black R1

Yes the 91 and 92 made FDs are 93 models, but you go by manufacture date for emissions testing and age.
