FL Just bought my first Rx7

Hello everyone my name is Jon and I'm afraid I'm terribly addicted, bought my first Rx7 the other day and at first everything seemed right with the world. That is until I tried to cold start it the next day. a few hours of testing later and a borrowed leading coil from a friend I got it to fire right up and drive it at a good speed. It was then that I noticed a horrible Humming sound that gets louder as my speed increases. Drain and fill on both the trans and diff has yielded nice glittering black fluid and a slight improvement on noise reduction (still crazy loud though). I have sourced a new (newer) trans with high hopes but I still need a coil, I've trolled the forums for days trying to figure out the best course of action because I cant find a coil and have two extra sets of trailing coils taunting me day and night. Any help or suggestions would be very nice, I was thinking maybe i could wire one set of trailing coils to work as a lead set?

I go to the junkyard for most my parts personally. You can also find a lot of good used parts here on the forums in the for sale sections.

I would but it seems everyone for miles I've checked and not one rx7 let alone second gen. I'm starting to think it would be easier/faster to put a new setup in, but I have no idea how or what the best option is. I work at a parts store so I have decent access to stuff but I don't even know where to start.
