New-ish guy
Hi there, just wanted to do a quick intro, I recently purchased an 85-GS. This will be my second rx-7 but my first experience with a first gen. My other one was an 87. I'm currently in the Air Force and stationed in the Newport News area of Virginia. Anyway I just wanted to say hi and that I'm excited to finally have another rotary to drive

Welcome to the Darkside (again), fly boy. :rlaugh:
But seriously, enjoy the little Wankel and here's a link for the FSMs. Find the one for your car, download, and enjoy. http://www.wankel.net/~krwright/cars/rx7/manuals.html VA? Man, who in the world wants to be in VA? Nothing but a bunch of smartasses in VA! :rlaugh: ;) |
thanks for the welcome, and the link, also i tried to get anywhere overseas, but they sent me here to Virginia. Hey it beats Texas where i spent the first year and a half of my enlistment.

Don't feel bad, NO ONE likes Texas. Not even the Texans! :lol:
Anyways, browse around in the Archives and FAQ section. There's a lot of nice stuff you can upgrade that thing with with not a lot of money. Which is always a good thing because us 1st Genners are a bunch of cheapskates. ;) |

I did a write-up in the Archive section for upgrading the alternator. Not bad for $80.
https://www.rx7club.com/1st-gen-archive-71/electrical-s5-89-alternator-install-into-1st-gen-528440/ Also, see about doing the 2nd Gen coil ignition setup. Easily done for $30. $50 if you get 2nd Gen wires (they help, but not needed apparently). |
thanks for the tip, i'll be heading to autozone tommorow. Went to turn the car on one day and just got a click, can't get the battery to hold a charge and i checked the starter. I'm really hoping a new alternator will solve the problem as i'm pretty lost from this point if it's not. I hadn't thought about getting a s-5 alternator but i guess if i have to get another i may as well upgrade it while i'm at it.
