The R1 is a model of the FD. Use the Search button, and FAQ section this will save you alot of time with useless posts.

FD is the chasis code for third generation RX-7s.

R1 is the 'racing' trim level of FDs, it has dual oil coolers, a front strut tower bar, stiff suspension and suede seats.

no biggie, dont lose sleep over it. i have used search many-a-time and found very helpful. i was just trying to ease the blow of harshness garnered toward the new user with a "me too" clause.

No need to search, both of those questions are answered in the FAQ.
