A Newbie with NO questions......what a concept !!!

You FAQ section is AWSOME, so unforunatley I won't be asking questions for a while. I just wanted to say "thanks" for the huge effort put into the FAQ section for people like me !!

Welcome to the club. There are quite a few guys in the KW, London and the GTA. They gather once in a while, keep an eye on the Canadian Section.

Yep we need some pictures and I don't believe that you don't have any questions, it will happen. Like, you need to be asking about those wheels:
But I like the color.
Where in Mass you going, I used to live in the Amherst area (not many 7's in PC'ville).
Welcome!

2gdfi is using a second gens coil pack on a first gen. You wire it so it bypasses the distributor cap/rotor for the leading plugs.

but i'm just picking at you, i'm sure you'll have some questions once you get it, even if they're stupid questions like ... why doesn't my rear winshield wiper nozzle work? :Pand no 2gdfis is not hard, there's several tutorials and **** out there here's the first one i found http://geocities.com/inuissus_cendi/2gcdfis.html and it could be expensive, then again it doesn't have to, it depends whether you have friends that would let you have a cheap 2nd gen coil, or sell it to you for cheap, cheapest i saw on ebay was about 20 bucks with shipping...good luck with it, i'm sure you'll have some fun

Yep around $25 for a second gen leading coil, shipped (check the 2nd gen section). Installation should take an hour or less.
It won't add horsepower but it looks cool and it evens out the spark, which can give you a smoother idle (virtually guaranteed) and a little better gas mileage. Think about it, each rotor gets it's own coil to fire the leading plug.
That's a good tutorial in the link above but it's actually a lot simpler than all that because you don't need to do anything to the 2G coil, just wire (+) to (+) and (-) to (-) from your stock wiring to the 2G coil pack. Here's a video of what it looks like:
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=n3Va3xwWzVQ
In this case the 2G coil pack could be removed from the car and put back in a 2nd gen RX-7 if you wanted to. Also it takes about 1 minute to switch back to the stock coils and wires if you ever have any question about the 2GDFI (just remember to keep the extra coil wire in the car).
The trailing coil wire and plug wires in the video are connected to the trailing ports on the dizzy cap, it's better to have them wired through the leading ports on the dizzy:

hells yeah i didn't know it was that simple either lol, i should be getting my coil(s) this week sometime, got them from a buddy down in S.C. for 15 bucks shipped (two sets leading and trailing), so basically he's just charging me for gas to go to the post office and shipping lol
