I really hope this is a joke...
FD is not an acronym. It is the production model of the 3rd gen RX-7. ALL RX-7's start with with FB, FC, or FD(with the exception of the 79-81 RX-7 which was SA22C). FB=81-85 1st gen, FC=2nd gen, FD=3rd gen.

It's actually FD3S, FC3S, FB3S, and SA22C which we just use FD, FC, FB, and SA for short (but usually just FB for all first gens)
And isn't just 79-80 for SA, you put 81 ;-)

For the newbie................
All manufacturers give product codes to their models
F-series rotary sports cars started with the FB back in 81?
(Correct me if I'm wrong, but the USA series-I RX-7 from 78-80 was prefixed an SA?)
Thus the liniage.
FB = 81-85 - 1st gen RX-7
FC = 86-91 - 2nd gen RX-7
FD = 92-02 - 3rd gen RX-7
FE = 03-08 - 1st gen RX-8

THANK YOU! I was way too insecure to ask this same question ... stupid me. I have been wondering what it meant too but no way I'm gonna' ask that and give away the fact that I'm a moron. Oh, guess I just admitted it. Ha! I thought for a long time that FD did stand for something like FI. Now I know.

Gotta love the FD negative descriptions....oh wait - looks like the 8 is doing about as well with engine replacements at the moment. Looks like the 8 is garnering the same attention as the FD, relatively poor dealership knowledge and cost cutting designs for the US market (5-20 oil type thing).
When the next rotary powered car comes out, those new owners will be making fun of the terrible reliability of the renesis and the FD, welcome to club hate.

Most of them are acting like the rx8 is 1000x more reliable than the FD. They have just about as much engine replacements already done and the 8 is still relatively new, with newer technology and a "new" type of 13B. ANDDD its NA.
I love the 8 but most of the owners have no right to be joking about the FD when this is also an RX site lol.
