GOing to be replacing both drive belts on my rx7
Is there any tips or how to's I can read to help me make this a smooth operation?

 

Just make sure everything is out of the way like all the intercooler couplers to make it easy on yourself. also when you put the new belts and tighten the one the goes on the air pump, water pump and alternator, don't over tighten it because if you do you water pump may leak. It happen to me but the previous owner did it and I had to fix it. Good luck and try to get the work shop manual to get the specs.

 

If you still have an air-pump, there is a tension adjustment bracket underneath. It's hard to see and alot of guys miss it the first time. Sometimes you can't get the belt off by just loosening the alternator tensioner.

 

Yes i still have the airpump in... I will definately keep an eye out for that

And I have heard "idle belt" term thrown around a few times... Where is this located just would like to check the wear on that belt. And what exactly does this belt do?

 

work shop manual in the FAQ section?

I already purchased the belts...
Does he mean specs on how much to tighten the belt?

 

Yep.

 

Ok can i get a hint as to which manual to look in? =)

 

You just need the "Factory Service Manual" (FSM for short). They are in PDF format, but one kind person made a searchable version for the 1994 FSM. That is the one I use as they are all pretty similar for the 93-95 models.
