can anyone help me with the different models of 3rd gens

i know the US 3rd gens come in R1, R2 and touring
the jap 7's come in Type-r, rs ,rb and the rare rz.

but what models do the uk cars come in??

does anyone know the 1/4 mile of the standard uk car and the 0-100mph

i don't think we got any different models in the UK ... just an RX7 and you added on whatever extras you wanted/were available ... I don't think we even got the option of an auto ?

cheers for that. its been buggin me for ages.
who wants or needs an auto? if its auto its not a sports car:p

i've read in various books and american site/forums about how thw rx-7 can struggle to pass emission tests. Is that true in this country? or are they more leniant with the tests? and will a rotary pass an emissions test with a street port or does it have no chance?:confused:

Hi Richard,
UK cars only came in one spec fully loaded !!, officaly known as European spec they came with sun roof, cruse air con etc easy to spot as they have a rectangular rear No plate not a square one, they are all badged as just RX-7s .

l beleive there are 15 different models (3rd Gen) to have come out of Japan with the closest one to a UK car being the type X ie top spec , a lot just seem to have say a suspension upgrade then are given a different designation .

There were only ever 124 brought into country officaly from Mazda ( l know because they told me ) from 92 to 96, the 0 to 60 depends on where you read some say 4.9 some 5.1 or 5.2?
Hope this helps .

All the Best Clive.
