My 81 came with owner's manual, service manual, 4 issues of Rotary Rocket magazine, and the ORIGINAL window sticker, and a sunroof bag which was never used and still in the factory plastic. Also have an 81 and an 82 brochure, which tells me the first owner bought the car at the end of 81.

Man the best book to have but is out of print ia a book called how to modify your RX7 had alot of nice tricks but my boy lost it somebody borrowed it & never returned it and we keep looking to see if we can get a reprint but no luck. The last book we had my other boy left it in his car which he was working on & luck has it he left a bottle of gear oil spill on it so you know what that book looks like now 7 how well the print is now. sucks

"How to Modify Your RX7" has not been reprinted for years. I forgot to add that to my list of books that I have. Good book for the 7, along with the Competition Prep Manual that can be found online.

that more than I care in my rx7... however your missing one key item that ALL rotaries should have... even more if it turbo charged like mine! A FIRE EXSTINGISHER!!! I've heard of so many stories about rx7 burning to the ground ,(mostly TII's) so the DAY my turbo project was complete I went out and bought one.

I was lucky enough to have found all of the original documentation in my glovebox. Reciepts and everything.

I still occasionally read through them for a chuckle.

Mine didn't leave the shop before I had an extinguisher in it. It's mounted on the roll bar, in the passenger bin, within easy reach from the driver's seat. I was not about to risk all of my hard work, in case I had made a simple mistake somewhere in reconstructing the car.

Im gonna go get a nice fire extinguisher.

1st thing on my list after the new exhaust.

The only thing that i have thats original and special is the original Lug wrench in the original bag and the original jack, jack wrench, and sunroof bag. My honda jack broke when trying to lift up my fd, Karma i guess. The Fd one, works so well that i think i prefer it to my gasjack. I cant believe how well constructed that one is compared to the shitty honda one i have. The spindel is alteast 1/2 inch thicker, the handel is atleast 1/4 inch thicker, and it even has the nice little rubber rollers so that your hands dont get hot or torn while trying to lift the car.
