12a 1st Generation

Hi guys, my names Hamish and I live in Christchurch, New Zealand. I'm currently looking at buying an RX7. My plan is to purchase a series 3, standard condition. And keep it that way. I have recently found a 12AT and would like some help identifying it as standard. There are a couple of stupid mods that aren't too hard to reverse. I have pictures to post if someone is willing to help. Also I am reading that these are rare...how many were built? To me that's the only thing that decides how "rare" a car is.

Cheers and look forward to my future in this forum as an RX7 owner!

Damn rare here in the USA. The 12a turbo wasn't sold here. Looks good, a few mods as you stated. I can't tell you any more. Good luck!

So I ended up with a stock standard, excellent condition NZ New white series 3, non turbo.

Don't know how to add photos sorry. But its a minter! Only 74000kms from new.

Cheers!

Congrats! That's a very nice car. And simpler, which is better in my opinion, even without the extra power. Have fun!
