Sorry if we said something that sounded like we took offense. Was it me?

The guide that Moses gave you is a very detailed tutorial on how to remove them, and is the one we all follow.

As for my statement, I was just explaining that it's a bad idea to remove them in MI if you have smog narcs.

If you do, then just replace each line that goes from the nest to the motor/dizzy/whatever.

No hard feelings, really. We're a laid back bunch here, so let's all get along.

yeah craigt, nobody got offended. Moses gave you the link that answers your questions and told you to go kill some trees, in reference to something you will find in that link. You'll see.

A Vaccum diagram for an '82? No.

There is a complete diagram for the '85 model year online though, at http://www.wankel.net/~krwright/cars/rx7/manuals.html

The difficulty is that there is a different number of vaccum solenoids on the '85 vs the '82, and consequently, the routing is not the same. If you don't have to get the car emissions checked, I'd yank the lot as per the tutorial I posted above. It doesn't serve any other purpose but to clean up the emissions, which is irrelevant unless you need to get it checked, or you're a hippy.

If the latter is true, then a RX-7 really isn't for you.

We do not have emissions testing in Michigan...

I highly recommend following the tutorial for the removal of the "rat's nest". It really cleans things up and eliminates a whole bunch of items that could cause potential problems like vacuum leaks. I have done this and my car runs much better, and dare I say, even "cleaner" than before.

Welcome. Your question is kinda vauge. Are you wanting to remove your emissions system? Are you just wanting to get everything hooked up correctly? Some more info on what your trying to accomplish would be most helpful.

Could be because I'm at university, and the server is picky.
