Hi, would like to introduce myself to you guys as i have just bought a 1993 rx7 and havent got a clue about how they work....... Hence me being here! I also havent got a clue about finding my way around the forums etc etc..... To find the information im looking for, posting threads and what not...... So will be asking lots of questions and just hope im not annoying anyone for doing so....


Stu, cardiff

 

Hey bro, Im also pretty new to the RX7 and rotary engines, having purchased one a few months back and will be coming home from iraq in less than a month to it. One thing I do suggest is doing your research, these forums are a treasure chest of knowledge and you should spend a good amount of time looking through old topics to see what has and hasnt worked for people, and asking any questions you have. Keep up on maintainance, do oil changed regularely, if your car doesnt have reliability modifications on it then invest some money in those, for info on that look in the tech forums, theyve got topics on reliability mods, and plenty of other things like which oils are best to use. But like I said do your research otherwise youll probably just end up spending a ton of money fixing a broken car or destroying yet another great car, which no one wants to see happen.

 

yea i agree with him...theres ppl that have probably already asked the same question an u have in your head ^_^.......ooo u got an fd that sick dude i just sold my 2005 corolla cuz it wasnt cutting it any more i already have a mazda and love their reliability...i know a lil bit about rotary but im a newbie too so u might see me asking question as well ^_^

 

welcome and en joy

 

Cheers guys for the replies, i reall y do hope to enjoy my new toy, problem is i cant even drive at the moment as i dont know how to drop the water and what coolant and mix i should use, and how i shouldfill up/bleed etc..... would any of you be able to help me out as in where to look as i am useless around the pc and looking through things as i not sure where to look.... would be grateful if you could help as i dont even know what rx7 i got, all i call it is a 1993 rx7, but i see there are different models and i dont know how to tell what mine is etc....

Thanks dude, lil less confused now!
Can i also ask the question of how do i tell what model it is? When i do my insurance quote online they ask me is it a type r etc.... I think they give me a choice of 3 different 1's, and i really dont know how to tell... Would be grateful if you could shed some light on this aswell for me...
Nice 1
