Check out what I just got
Lol speaking of girl scout cookies:
Just a few questions:
First, are those the circlips pictured above the ring gear bolts?
second, it has 11 pinion gear and 43 ring gear teeth, thats 3.9/1.0 ratio right?
finally, i want to open it up and inspect the clutch disks, do I need to worry about gears flying or anything?

Those rings are the bearing adjuster rings. They screw into the, well, the bearing holes from the outside.
as for taking it apart, there wont be anything falling apart but there are parts that go in a certain orientation and may be hard to realign. Just make sure you stack them up on your workbench in the same order they were installed.
only yours wont have quite so many plates.

are you going to use the 3.909 ring and pinon or keep your existing one?
see here for rx7 diagram: http://www.mazdamotorsports.com/wcsc...Drivetrain.pdf
yours will have 4 discs per side, for a total of 8, 86-88s will have 6 per side, for a total of 12 discs.
karter, I'd wouldn't bother even re-using the rx7 sleeves and adjusters anyways.

Well, i am not sure at this point which gearing I want to use, but im leaning slightly in favor of the 3.909 so that I will have slightly longer gears. Eventually I will be running much more power and that extra milisecond of time in first gear could make all the difference.
Ok so Im going to be ordering some OEM Circlips for the rx7. Will I need any speciality tools besides the standard wratchet set/torque wrench .. i.e that bearing adjuster looks like it needs special equipment.

always set backlash if you have the diff out. always. dial indicator and some way to measure 7-7.5" accurately.
but you dont need special tools for the adjusters. those things spin pretty freely so you can use fingers or a screwdriver to tap it around.
