Heres your chance for bragging rights.
Subject speaks for itself! If you got a nice setup on your rx7, post what you're working with. Give list of mods to give people ideas or just to flat out brag.

Dirty K&N air filter
broken AC
broken PS
super soft brakes
broken front caliper
no idle
giant *** vacuum leak
broken front bumper
dented fender
nasty black/chipped/primer paint
worn out stock suspension
grinding transmission
no hot start
do you think those mods will put me in the 11's?

No a/c, no emissions, 5-lug swap, kyb agx's, eibach springs, rb headers+presilencer, 2.5" pipe to a magnaflow straight-through muffler, I swapped the seats to GXL seats, I changed out the carpet, I replaced the power antenna, I've had my injectors cleand, the pd replaced, all vacuum and fuel hoses replaced, hawk pads, 4-pistons calipers, suspension techniques bushings...
But the part I like to brag about is that I did it all myself. I've never owned a car before this one, I've accumulated tools as I go along, and I have no prior experience working on any motors or mechanical training. And most things I do all by myself, including lowering and raising the subframe, the 5-lug swap. Only things I get help with are brake bleeding, I payed a shop to weld the exhaust and bend the pipe, and I payed a shop to press out a few bushings.

K&N filter soon to be custom CAI
RB Header
2.5" test pipe
dual BOMZ mufflers with 2.5" piping
Ported upper and lower intake manifolds
TB mod
all emissions gone
Eibach pro kit springs with KYB GR-2 struts
Front ebay strut tower bar
Front and rear suspension techniques sway bars
Short shifter
ACT 6 puck clutch with some kind of upgraded pressure plate
Magnecore 10mm plug wires
FD alt
Upgraded grounds
Blue screen S-AFC
Eagle F1 GS-D3 Tires (225/50ZR16 all around)
Corbeau GT racing seats
...and finally to top it off, 196.2 pounds worth of weight reduction as of now, but I will be shaving off a few more pounds. I still have the steel hood so an aluminum one or CF will take off 20-30 pounds more, and then I'll be getting a lightweight battery (about 10lbs more off).
