sry about that poll, im just getting use to this forum, about your 80, you said savannah right, like i said i have a 79, but i dont know much about them, isnt that the first rx7? but was made in 1978, are there any other 7 befor 79? thanks

85rotarypower

I'm currently looking at an '82. Won't vote because I don't know if I will get it.

By the way, there aren't any 7's before 79. There were the R100, RX-2, RX-3, RX-4.

Root79Rx7

thanks, do you think because of the 79 being the 1st year it is more scarce to find? any one else out there have a 79, what makes it a savannah?

85rotarypower

I wasn't aware that all 79's were savannas. I didn't think the Savanna RX-7 was sold in North America.

I believe one thing that distinguishes the Savanna is where the mirrors are mounted. They are about midway between the bumper and windshield on the fenders.

Root79Rx7

ah i see, well mines not mounted there but i only have a drivers side mirror, and i believe the other one didnt fall of it was stock with one i think

when i first subscribed to this forum i talked about the car, and one guy said have fun in you 79 savannah and thats why i assumed it was one, i should look closer, i feel really dumb, but im only 15 and ive only owed the car for 2 weeks so far

85rotarypower

Well, I don't know that much about the Savannas but, correct me if I'm wrong, they were only available overseas, not in North America. Sorry, forgot to mention that if it is a Savanna, it would have a badge saying so.

Hey, don't feel bad or dumb about it. I'm only 17, but I just happen to have read a lot about these cars. You came to the forum to learn, so if I am correct, you just learnt something. We all have to start someware, and like I said in another post, most of us came to this forum without too much knowledge about RX-7s. We all came because obviously we didn't know something and wanted to find out more about it.

Root79Rx7

ah ok, well i dont have one, thanks for the info, id hate to call it something its not, is that you drifting in your icon? thanks so much for the corrections, by the way for old are you?

85rotarypower

I edited my post above. Computer is so goddamn slow. Took 5 minutes to edit that post.

No, that is not me drifting. That is just one of the avitars that you can choose. If you read one of my previous posts, you will find that I don't own a 7 yet. I have never owned one.

Root79Rx7

yah i see, well good luck in your searching for the car, ive only driven mine a couple of times, but i can see that its going to be a great first car and a great car at that, well thanks for the info

85rotarypower

I only hope all the information I gave you is correct. I've located an 82 RX-7 for only 500 bucks. Probebly going to get it too. Only needs a few parts.

Aviator 902S

The rx7 was first available in spring of '78, but in most parts of the world designated a '79 model. Normally the model year run ends in July so some may argue that it's a '78 if the date of manufacture is prior to July of '78. Anything manufactured from the end of July, '78 onward in that year is definitely a '79 by anybody's standards.
As for the Savannah name, as mentioned above, that's what the series one (ie: 79-80) rx7's were known as overseas--- much the same as the MX-5 here in North America is better known as the Miata.

85rotarypower

The Miata overseas is known as the Eunos Roadster. I know this from GT3, the game.

Sorry, just had to add that. I'm on a roll today.

S2-13BT

Mines an '81, but it ain't an FB. All Aussie 1st gens were SA22Cs.

CheddaKing

Yay for '85! My birth year, and my favorite car...even though i havent driven it yet

karism

S2-13BT.Amen to that ! I also have a SA22C...

We have series 1-6 here,no SA, FB etc (I stay in South Africa)

Oh my word! I have a `81 Rx7! (I`am still not sure about this) Some parts are `81,and some are `82 on my car,i cant tell what year it is.

It was registered in `82,but that doesnt say much.

1985 here,GSL

dole2000

this is my fourth 1984. Just the luck of the draw. I've had two 1983, but just to get the engines out of them.

Bayce

Yeah, mine is an '83 - also a SA22Cs. . . people are always saying - nice FB. . .
(Aussie too!)

Wankelguy

My "FB" is an '80, making it an SA, lol.

peejay

There is no such thing as a '79 or '80 FB.

Manntis

well, technically there's no such thing as an FB period - these are codes that we, the enthusiasts, have come up with
