hello, I am looking at a 1999 rx7 to import in a few years and am wanting to prepare for it, I know the oil and am wondering, what type of battery to use? it is a manual if it helps. thanks in advance.

 

Use 6 AA batteries. That should work fine.

 

ha ha they have too low of a cca and voltage. how are you doing?

 

 

Everyone, remember this is the New Member Technical section and the first rule is...
Besides, it's a good thing he came here to seek information. Better here than some JDMtytedawgsyo honda forumz
All FDs use the same battery, Group Size 51

Don't mind evo_koa and SgtBlue too much in this case. The RX7club tends to have a good sense of humor and no one gets too upset at some good-natured joking like this. But such should be toned down for new members okay? Let's set a good example by offering sincere suggestions such as referring to the FAQ for the appropriate generation.

Jarombean, is this going to be your first car? Reason I ask is because FDs have a BRUTAL learning curve, are very temperamental and this adds to confusion/frustration beyond the normal issues associated with a Rotary Engine. From my experience, I am grateful I began with a Series 4 non-turbo FC (86-88) that I paid $1400 for, especially with people like Aaron Cake to ask for advice. Between this and having a good friend show me firsthand how to approach certain issues, it makes things much more enjoyable. It made me want to learn and do more, eventually leading to a 20B-REW sitting in my FC and a Borg-Warner T-56 in the closet, waiting to go in.

Plus, parts are generally cheaper too

 

 

This was starting to go toward flame-ish (could be considered mocking, especially to a new, inexperienced member), which is why I asked everyone to play nice while informing Jarombean that we tend to joke around a bit and to not take it too personal. Seemed like a happy medium that way.
