Isn't the N/A RX-7 a FB? Also the non-turbo RX-7s were pretty reliable from what i heard.

Eh, for some reason I thought the FB's were the first gen and FC's second gen. I've been wrong once or once before, though.

fb's were the first generation rx7's. the n/a fc's are really reliable but just lack peformance and the fact that it's auto that just plain kills a car like that.

Series 4 (86-88) - n/a: 140?, turbo: 180, turbo model is only 2600 lb!
Series 5 (89-91) - n/a: 160?, turbo: 200, turbo model is 2800 lbs.

I might be a little off since it's been a while since I was into rx7's. FC's are TIGHT though. One hell of a car, it's only problem is it's like the 1G dsm's, getting old and ricketty!
