First time FD owner..need helping installing parts PLEASE HELP
Hi I Just gt my first rx7 It is a 1994 FD. I purchased it as a roller with a transmission
( TRANNY IS OFF OF CAR) Yesterday i just bought a motor and another tranny from a 93 fd.
Problem Bolts are not organized and i i have no clue how to bolt the the tranny to the car and how and which bolts to put the intake manifolds back on with. I down loaded the service manual but hard to see from pic.
Does anyone make hardware kits for intake manifolds or transmissions. I found one side that sold a complete kit. But right now id prefer to buy in section\s.
Also what is recommended sites to purchase parts from?
I am a 3000gt guy and know those sites…
But do FD rx7 have those Top number 1 sites? with great selection?
Im the tip of person who prefer to buy from one or two shops
Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Even though this is a TECHNICAL section, asking us to tell you how to install a partially dismantled engine and transmission... and where all the various bolts go is a little much IMO. I could fill a couple of pages. You bought it that way. Hope you got a starter, clutch, driveshaft, engine and transmission harnesses and Power Plant Frame with it.
As for parts, a few choices:
Ray @ Malloy Mazda. Dealership in VA. Ray discounts to rx7club members and is an FD owner himself. But doubt he'll have time to tell you how to install a transmission and partially dismantled engine either.

1. Read the Factory Service Manual
2. Re-read the FSM
3. Search on what questions you still may have (build threads are good for pictures)
4. Post a question if you can't find the answer searching
5. Find someone near you that can help
6. Find a shop near you that can help
The PPF connects the transmission to the differential BTW

I'd like to know how your 3KGT compares to your FD once it has been assembled..

I'm quite surprised the 3KGT could even hold it's own. I was under the impression that those cars were too heavy to turn corners and always snarked at them on the road.
Am I wrong in thinking it would be a terrible choice for a hillclimb? I know it's all relative, but..

Unfortunately, I learned too late from the Honda scene how important communities are; especially with car enthusiasts. The Mazda community really seems to have things together, Subaru is also up there. There really aren't any dur-dur people working on RX-7s and rotaries, I think, since they wouldn't run like a honda
