New RX-7 Owner
Last fall, I bought a RHD 1992 Rx-7 and I'm in the process of restoring her. Are there any places I can decide the vin to find out the specific model of the car? Fd3s113797, silverstone metallic with the 4 post wing, front lip, dual oil coolers and a (Type R?) strut bar. Coilovers were aftermarket when I bought it.

Keep asking someone on here will point you to the JDM VIN database.
The twin oil coilers would point to the car being a Type R. But i tcould also be a more rare model (Like RZ).
Not Automatics have a cooler for the transmission which sits in the same place as the second oil cooler in the twin set-up.

Found it!
Hey guys, so I finally was able to find out the model. She is of the Type R flavor. I'm sure this is the most "common" model out there right? Still really happy about it 
especially since I think the 3L silverstone metallic is on the rare side of colors

Please refer to the SSM picture thread. Type R was a higher grade than the base model. Basically it had the twin coolers and a more firm suspension set up, hence more track oriented. The colour was/is fairly common.
Refer to the Wikipedia history of the car. Pay attention to the reference links at the end.
