I'm new to the scene, and I see all of these terms used: FC, FB, S5, 13b, etc. My buddy tole me I have a S5, but I don't know the body type. I also know i have a 13b motor (only because it's on my manifold cover). What does this all mean, though? How many motor, body, and model types are there?

 

I'll name it: Bob.

You wanna check out this thread:
fb, fc, f-me I'm confused <---Click

 

There are lots of acronyms and it gets even more confusing when people are combining parts.

Read through the second gen FAQ and it will help you out.

 

FC'n Newbies..(heh,heh!)

 

S4 is an rx7 between 1986-1988
S5 is an rx7 between 1989-1991
13b is 1.3L

Sometimes people on this forum tend to be harsh if you ask questions that are generally common sense to the rotary scene.

Don't take it personally if they do.

 

I thought that link was pretty helpful (and comical), I've never forgotten the title of that since I read it all those years ago haha.

Thanks! Shortly after I posted this, I saw the thread in the FAQ section. Very informative. I'm going to give this site a thorough once over before posting anything else.

 

Nah, I don't take anything personally. Besides, the only way you're going to learn is by asking, right?
