In 1995, a small group of RX-7 Turbo II owners
wanting to communicate with other owners with similar interests in performance related
subjects created their own mailing list. With the help of Chris Foley, a mailing list
began and TeamFC3S was officially born. The original group numbered less than 10 but has
grown rapidly since it's introduction. Shane Callaghan was kind enough to give us the
wonderful logo you see above. TeamFC3S web site was originally started as a Turbo II
Performance Page, but in time grew to accommodate all models of the second generation RX7.
How can I get a catalog?
Here's the funny part, we aren't a company.
There are members of the list that do run performance related businesses, but the list and
this page aren't commercial venues. We are trying to let you know what parts are out
there, which one's work, and which one's don't. We are considering opening the page up to
allow companies to make their price list available to members of the TeamFC3S mailing
list, but no definite plans have been made.
What are common topics of discussion?
Common threads are not usually about how to wax
one's car or who's car is faster. It's usually dealing with a performance topic from
simple to complex and of course maintenance questions. Most performance lists dislike
questions about how to fix non-performance problems but we are more concerned with the
overall enjoyment of your Turbo II. The conversation is also always friendly. Unlike other
RX-7 lists, no flames are allowed. To date, we've had no problems with anyone on the list.
What does FC3S mean?
The FC3 designation we use is the Japanese chassis
name for our RX-7 (also found in the VIN on your car (i.e. JM1FC33...)). The club
was originally known as Team FC3's, for the designation, but later adopted the title,
TeamFC3S. TeamFC3S
The 1987-1988 models were known as 'GT-R' models, the 1989-1991 models
we call 'GT-X'. There was a GT-Limited models but we try not to add confusion to the
subject. Just remember, if you see 'FC3S GT-R', it translates into 1987-88 RX-7 Turbo II.
We've given the non-turbo names as well. I've never been able to find any sign of a
Non-Turbo in my Japanese catalogs so we had to make them up. The GT is exchanged with NA
for Normally Aspirated. So,a 1987 RX-7 GXL would
be called FC3S NA-R. As always, use whichever name you feel comfortable with. As a side
note, the 3rd Gen. RX-7 is known as a FD3S.
