Welcome to the community! The whole point of the RX-8 is to expand the membership in the rotary community. When the success of the RX-8 is proven, then Mazda can start working on the "FF" (there is a whole thread on this debate) - the 4th Gen RX-7. BTW, FB is the 1st Gen RX-7 (79-85).

The early 1st gens were noted as SA's before converting over to FB VIN designations.

My hat is off to you, friend... I've been wanting to ask that question for a while, but I never got around to it.
