New to this rotary life
Hey my name is Dave I recently bought a 1988 Mazda RX-7 FC convertible and it has the rotary engine in it 5 speed welded diff and on coil overs custom 2.5 header back exhaust I was wondering what kind of premix do I use for this car? Oil and gas type? I can’t just put regular gas in correct? This is my first rotary sorry if the questions sound dumb I just don’t know a lot but am trying to learn everything bout this car

Technically, with a functioning Oil Metering Pump, the engine will inject oil from it's own crankcase and premixing isn't necessary
That being said, many people run premix as a precautionary measure. As alexdimen said, you can use TCW3 and regular unleaded gasoline.
There's an FAQ at the top of the 2nd Generation section that is worth a read and will give you a crash-course on the 2nd Generation Rx-7. Make sure to stay on top of oil changes and perhaps do regular tune-up stuff so you know it's been taken care of. Filters, fluids, plugs, etc. Better to be safe than sorry.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, oil chart can be found on the sticker under the hood or in your owner's manual. I personally like 20W50
