window motor exchange help
ok so i have two 2nd gen rx-7s (89 & 91 vert.) The 91 needs window motors, so i tried taking it out of the other one since they still worked. How do i get behind the metal part when you take the panel off? that is the window motor right? I'm also about to hook the 91 up and was wondering what would be one of the first things to do to get performance?

What exactly are you having problems with on the window motor?
It has been a while, but as far as I can remember all you need to do is lower the window until the bolts line up with the access hole, then unbolt the glass and lift it out. Then the regulator assembly has two or three bolts on the inner door panel, and one on the bottom right rear edge of the door.
The FSM helps a lot of with stuff like this.
The Factory Service Manual can be found in the FAQ For FC thread. It contains all this information and more, and is an essential tool for any sort of service work that needs to be performed on these cars.
Additionally, the Haynes service manual for the 1986 thru 1991 RX-7 (both turbo and NA) can be found at most local auto parts stores or purchased from any good bookstore (ISBN number 1 56392 007 7). It is only about $25 and is a great quick reference for things like this. Not only does it contain most of the information in the FSM condensed into an easy to read format, but it includes full wiring diagrams as well.
These manuals will answer 99% of service related questions for the car and if you intend to do your own repair work, you will need at least one of them. Preferably both, since the FSM is a free download.
