New to the RX7 Scene
Hey all!
Just bought my RX7 and waiting for it to be shipped, should be here next week.
My friends and I decided to start a car youtube channel (not made yet) and instagram @jjtkamigami. My friends have a 2020 WRX and a GTI MK 7 and are planning on adding the 400z when its released.
I'll be exploring the site, but if anyone can point me to some useful resources as far as taking care of the care I would appreciate it very much.
I plan on doing an engine rebuild eventually, but for now I need to make a shopping list for basic necessities to take care of my car.
Looking forward to talking to you guys!

Start a File
Welcome.
You will find lots of info on here.
Remember to save pics of the auction papers if you have them. Some info could be useful down the road (even if in Japanese).
Post some pics to RHD FD Nation, North American Edition
When you can.

Better Safe Than Sorry
Be gentle on the car once it arrives.
A number of people have blown their engines on the drive home.
"Redline is for racing"
Try to get the following checks as soon as possible:
Compression check (with proper adapter for rotary engines)
Code check (The USDM FSM code list should largely apply. If no one has a Japanese diagnostic reader, you may have to count blips.
Alternator output check and electrical grounds check
Coolant system pressure check
Smoke test.
Fuel pressure check.
These tests should be relatively inexpensive and will set you off in the right direction.
