GA I need to find info.

As stated, I am new to rotary. Where is a good place to find tech manuals and any literature that I can have hard copies in hand. I got my car for free and it runs, but would like to put a little pep in her step. It's an 84 rx-7 12a.

Misterstyx69, I am a diesel mechanic by trade. So I'm not completely lost. But any true mechanic understands that you have to read and learn about what you don't know before you get elbows deep!

I know you're not bashing. I just want it to be known that I'm a greenhorn when it comes to rotary. But not to turning wrenches. I'm sure I'll say something stupid or sounds retarded eventually on here because of lack of knowledge.

Here, facebook Rx7 groups, shop manuals etc. And being surrounded by long time rotary owners/mechanics. Just be careful on any initial advice someone may give you... if your given advice research other venues or ask other people before you do anything. I've seen people intentionally lead people astray for kicks... which I take personally!

I have to be honest this forum is a great resource with alot of knowledgeable and helpful people... I don't spend alot of time chatting on here due to how convenient the facebook groups have become but I get email notifications so if you need anything let me know.. I've owned 13 Rx7's mostly 1st gens. I'd be glad to help you out with anything I have experience with.
