I don't see why you're getting all excited over a crx..

Unless you're actually referring to a real jdm tyte tyrannosaurus rex! That would be pimptastic.

But seriously, why must you confuse everyone by calling it a rex? It's not like it's shorter than writing crx, wrx, or rx7, because they all have the same number of letters! :)

Actually I believe he maybe referring to what is called a T-Rex, before anyone says it no not the dinosaur but the vehicle that runs off of a motorcycle engine and has like 2 wheels in the back and 1 up front. Maybe I am wrong. I'll try to find a pic.

I saw one of those driving down the street in the opposite lane for a split second. It is definitely quite the eye catcher.

BTW:0-60 in 4.1 seconds1.9 lateral g's on the skidpad. :D

I don't know anymore than what they look like, but I wish the original poster would let us all in on what he meant.

You are correct. Subarus start with JF1 if it is a passanger car made by FHI.

1N for a Nissan. BTW

what do you need? a breakdown, or a check to see if its legit? if you just need to get it checked, register for a free carfax or something. i think you get 1 free one.

SnowMongoose: Here's an idea to help you get that carfax report....

Do a search in this forum and in 240sx general for recent threads that asked for a carfax. Then send an email to the person who gave the carfax report. It might not work, but it's worth a shot. :)

Why check a VIN for a Mazda?

This is a Nissan forum............dummy.

Go to a Mazda Forum.

Then when you use the gey REX term they might know what you are talkin about.

awesome dave, you were very helpful!

Thanks to everyone else.

I was able to get it checked at a general automotive forum...as for not taking mazda VINs to a nissan forum, everyone but dave is pretty civil about it, and generally helpful.

Thanks everyone else!Ashton

LOL...I like that.

Hope someone can help you out. You just missed my subscription by a day or two. Just keep hanging out, someone is bound to have a Carfax sub.

Anyway, let this serve as a...bump!

Ricebike:I lied, I posted it on some mazda forums as well as a pair of general forums...I just wasnt sure which it had come from, since it was Emailed to me.

try a honda specific forum, less chance of wankers busting in.
