ive been looking this car over and i keep noticing things,,, did the all have ajustable camber?? and adjustable dampning coilovers??. no air bag...
ive always wanted a 3rd gen rx7 but had no idea how much i had to learn, i seriously need to get this car running soon.. ive never drove one before especially a right hand drive
no spark no fuel,,

 

Congrats on buying a car that doesn't run, and you know nothing about.

 

Congrats on the buy and who cares if you don't know crap about the car. You will learn. Just stick with it and just keep asking questions.

 

Oh buddy, sounds like your in pretty deep. Don't fret though.

I'm not going to patronize you, like most would, for buying a 15 year old enthusiasts car that requires more attention than my ex-wife.

What I will say is start reading, learning, and researching about your new purchase. Don't look for quick fix's, but quality proper ones. These cars are amazing when setup correctly. If you start slapping things together, you can be certain you will be redoing it, or selling it from frustration shortly. I will try to help the best I can, with the very little info you posted.

Adjustable Camber - Yes, FD's have unequal length control arms that utilize a pivoting bolt at the base of each control arm to adjust the camber. This will be the same on all models.

Adjustable Coilovers - I'm really not sure. I know Mazdaspeed created coilovers but I am not sure if Efini models were equipped with them. Do some research in the suspension section. I highly recommend reading Howard Colman's post on FD suspension. It is a sticky in the that section. Right at the top.

No airbag - This is a good thing. Early model airbags are ****. If you wanted to feel safe, a light powerful sports car shouldn't be considered. I removed mine... Damn factory wheel is huge and ugly. Just buckle up, and drive smart

No spark - New plugs? Wires? Test coils? Coils have power? Test voltage system?.... you get my point.

No fuel - Test fuel pump? pump relay? power to injectors?.... you get my point.

Read, search, read, search...... Stick around, it's going to be the most enjoyed bumpy ride of your life

 

No no no no no no no...

I and everyone else here will guarantee that 99.999% of the questions that are asked by newbies have been asked and answered a million times already.

No, don't keep asking questions. Search. There's a FAQ and plenty of information already on here.

Heh...and for the record, see Adam's self serving sig.

 

Or...sell the car for as much as possible to someone who knows them already. THEN start by reading the stickys and learning enough about the car to intelligently buy a LHD model in decent, close to original shape. Learning how to maintain and do minor repairs for the first year or so before doing any performance mods.
In the long run, this could be cheaper, with far less stress and far more fun.

 

Railgun,

I agree. Always search before asking. This is the law of the forum lands.

 

what a coincidence, i am in northern Ontario, i just bought a 92 fd RHD. only difference is mine runs awesome. I have still spent countless hours on this forum trying to learn as mush as i can, so i can keep it running properly. But good luck to you when you get it running, you'll find driving it is the most fun you can have with your clothes on.

 

First off I know this car is going to be a handfull with little issues and problems. That's why I wanted it so bad. Another thing is I got it for 4g and it's complete. Seems pretty decked out too. Blitz blow off valve. Tanbe exhaust. turbo timers. Full kg fuel system brand new in the box. And the adjustable suspension is a nice touch. And I also spend countless hours reading about the car and researching my problems. This forum is mint for that. No doubt any problem I have has already been adressed. I'll be posting some pictures of it soon. I've had the car for a month or more now and has cured all the bordem I was suffering. Love it. Love the rhd drive too. Makes it different. If I want lhd I will jump in my daily driver gtp Pontiac or f150. Another plus is a friend of mine got me a full shop book of the car. Has everything. Pj said he's a member in here. I wana thank him for that.

 

the black and green wire is a weird one because as far as i can see it only attaches to itself and is a part of a wrap of the coil harness wires.

another thing i noticed is m egi relay will not click,, every other relay and basic function of the car works just fine,. so i think my no fire problem is something trivial and its just a matter of time before i got it working and running

 

Sounds like you'll be just fine. If you're having lots of electrical problems you may just want to get a used replacement harness and be done with it. Usually the RHD stuff can be found fairly cheap.

There's no better way to learn than by just taking the plunge. As long as you get it cheap, have another DD, and have some spare funds there's not that much different between a LHD and RHD really. There are some important differences to be sure, but the majority you can learn from a beat up problematic car.

Enjoy the obsession like the rest of us

 

Get out your manual and find the wiring diagram. Find out what those wires are that are cut? Someone may have just used them to hook up a gauge or accessory at one point?

Good luck! Once you start poking around you can't stop!

 

You guys aren't kidding this car is full of learning curves. But I feel confident I'll be driving it this summer. I've already got myself alote of spare parts. Got spare motor, tranny, clutch. And I got a spare igniter coming in the mail soon. I'll go get some relays after and keep poking around. I feel like I'm 16 again. I always had to build my vehicles in my younger dayz

 

Those struts are aftermarket for sure. Click adjustable dampening. Looks like the car used to be Silver Stone Mica and is now some other color. Make it silver again!

 

Yes it's a god awfull purple. I hate purple. But I can see past it for the real beauty it has. It's going to be repainted. I have the paint booth for the job. Just gotta work out all her bugs

 

I bought mine as a roller and thought it would be a nice summer project. 7 years later I've still not driven it.

 

Well I'm so pumped up right now. I found my wiring problem and turned out the three wires in the boost control sensor were frayed and touching eachother. Once I pulled them away from eachother everything clicked and came to life. I've been driving it all night. I'm completly in love with this car. And it's ******* quick. Gran tourismo could never prepare me for the pure awsomeness of this car. And the rhd part of it is cool ****. She sometimes has a rough idle but I'm sure I'll get to the bottom of that. So I wana thank everyone in here for the ever so valuable information. Now that's she runs it's time to make her look how I imagine it should. Time to clean up the paint booth

 

Good job, and welcome to our world!

 

Awesome

By the way if you're having idle issues do a search on TPS and you'll find a lot of info on idle issues and resolutions.

Are you getting a 10-8-10 boost pattern? Typically the cars most people give up on have electrical or boost problems, but usually those can be easily resolved with a good visual inspection. It takes a little effort and a lot of patience but it pays off in the end.

 

Glad you got the issues resolved. Now the fun begins!

 

This should be the mantra of every FD owner.

 

Rough idle was my fault I put the air intake on with that vacum part inbetween it. Which left a gap. It's all good idles where is should. And I'm so impressed with the power and handling of this car I just wana live in it. It's stupid fast. Love this car like I knew i would
