So anyone know if the RX-8 is going to be an FE3S? Or is mazda going to do something wacky and not follow that convention?

View Full Version : RX-8 nomenclature? FE? SanJoRX7 01-30-2002, 02:07 PM So anyone know if the RX-8 is going to be an FE3S? Or is mazda going to do something wacky and not follow that convention? KrisA 01-31-2002, 07:40 AM My first post! Anyways, I think that the label "FE" will be reserved for the next RX-7, which is under development from what I've heard. bwob 02-01-2002, 05:14 AM Look for a new prefix letter when the RX-8 hits Job 1 in 2003. As perviously mentioned, FE is indeed being set aside for the next-generation RX-7, which will go into production after the RX-8 but before the NC Miata. bwob Jeff20B 02-01-2002, 11:54 AM Who wants to venture a guess as to what the prefix will actually be? Hmm, IL3S or JG3S? 3 is, I believe, for the 1308CC engine. The suicide doors (hehe cool) may allow a brand new letter not used previously. Welcome, bwob. SanJoRX7 02-01-2002, 12:00 PM They're officially listed as "convenience" doors. We know what's up though :D Jeff20B 02-02-2002, 08:06 AM Cool! I can't wait to use those convenience doors. I hope they work better than Saturn's design.
