New here. My FC arriving on Wed. Few questions...

[StavFC]

Hi, new here, having bought an FC from Japan a couple of months back, and its being delivered to me (hopefully!) Wednesday 9am, cant wait, always wanted an RX7, driven or been passenger in countless big power ones over the years, but never actually owned one till now.
 
Soon as it arrives im going to give it a full service (suitable engine oil/filter/plugs already ordered and will be collected today), but I have a couple of questions...
 
Gearbox and diff oil capacities, is it same as an FD, ie 2.5litre and 1.3litre, or?
 
2stroke and oil injection- Ive seen some RX7s with the oil injection setups removed, and as my FC is highly modded it may well have had this done. BUT as im new to RX ownership I wouldnt know what to look at in the bay to know if it has or not.
What am I looking at to check? And if so, how much 2stroke should I use? TBH I would prefer to use a bit of 2stroke anyhow as a safety measure, but I expect they need more with oil injection removed.
I can post an enginebay pic if need be.
 
Cheers

welcome,as Chris says post some pics,enjoy driving but watch the rear end in the wet these are rare enough

Pics as above, and dont worry about the rear end too much, been driving 400bhp+ RWDs for about 9yrs now, so well used to knowing where and when is safe to use the power!
 
And yes, its a highly tasteful and subtle sleeper, lol

Only real plans for the car is basic stuff, keeping the car as good condition as poss (while using it for what its made for, so that wont be cheap, but nor was the car!), and fitting water injection as an additional safety measure (well, as well as the NGK10\'s going in the minute it gets here, lol).
And of course, enjoy it!

oh its you... haha

Thats one very nice FC.

Chances are that with a uprated ECU they\'ve ditched the OMP and are running a pre-mix, i have no way of telling though. Probably best to at least put a bit of 2 stroke in till you know what its actually running.

Welcome :Thumbs-up
