Without a manual I suggest reading this thread front to back and use the links provided by the OP. https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generati...riteup-897359/
Maybe you should change your name then buddy :-D. Hahaha sorry I had to. Did you mention you have an auto FD? Maybe I missed it, but are you planning on converting it or keep it auto?
The quote around my name implies I am anything but The Help...LMFAO

yea we will be doing a conversion. However we aren't 100% yet on whether we will do it or if we will pay to have someone do it. I feel like we can handle it with the help of this community and some crafty site:rx7club.com style google searches. We did get a adaptronic FD ECU and banzai adapter harness and we will be teaching our selves basic rotary tuning.

The conversion is quite simple.

I can pm you what you need and the rough estimate it'll cost if you'd like?

Don't pay someone else :-p DIY!

Make sure you get the clutch pedal input shaft with the pedals!

I bought the last known one in the US from Mazda.

It will save you a lot of time searching!

Nice. I know I originally had the series 6. Then since I went 20b I am using the 1280.

Adaptronic is awesome!

But if you want to get a wideband thatll work well with it get the innovated LC-2 . Well that's what in using lol
