My Rx7, but what next?
Hey guys. Well, I promised pics awhile back, but have been too busy with school, especially since FINALS are coming up. (Grrrhh!!!)
But anyway, I am loving my Rx7. Still learning on it. But if some of you guys remember, i use to own a DSM (GST to be exact) with over 300 horses, to the fly probably around 350ish, but didnt get a chance to dyno it to find out what it had to the wheels.
Anyway, thats that. But now I own an 88' n/a Rx7 (FC). I love it though. Well, here's my mod list:
Interior:
Reverse Indi-glo gauges
Autometer Cobalt gauges-A/F Ratio, NOS press, Water Temp, Volts & Amp Temp.
Custom dual gauge pod in center vents
A-pillar dual gauge pod
Grant steering wheel
Ichibahn pedals
Ichibahn lighter
Sparco shift ****
Custom blue leather shift boot
Color matchedinterior
Custom door panels
Blue/Black racing seats
WeaponR 4-point harnesses
S5 gauge surround
S5 center & shifter surround
Stripped rear cargo area
Exterior:
S5 taillights
S5 aero mirrors
S5 spoiler
Custom headlight cover for intake
BMW-couple shades of blue mixed to one color with a purple pearl
GP Sports body kit
S5 turn signals
Engine:
Mild streetport
Sec. Inj. upgraded to 550cc
Modified throttle body
Ported intake
5th & 6th port sleeves & actuators removed
All emmissions removed
Rats nest & all associated junk removed
FC3S.org thermal bypass pellet
Racing oil press. regulator
A/C removed
P/S removed
Installed FAL elec. fan
Mazdaracing Alt. pulley
RX7.com Main pulley
Oil inj. removed
Racingbeat header
ApexI N1 catback (no cats )
Edelbrock Nitrous System
Drivetain:
5-speed swap
Custom alum. driveshaft
Corksport SS braided clutch line
Suspension:
Suspension Techniques fr & rr sway bars
Greddy fr strut bar
Corksport rr strut bar
KYB AGX struts
Suspension Techniques lowering springs
Bonez X-drilled rotors
Goodridge SS brake lines
17" Volks GTC's
215-45ZR-17 fr tires
225-45ZR-17 rr tires
Now, this is my question, what would you guys do next? I know it needs to be painted, but I rather have SPEED. Well, what would you guys recommend next? Yes, i want SPEED. Considering that I am a "poor" college student... LOL! I dont have much money to spend. Well, what would you guys go next with (speed-wise)??? I was reading about doing the TII swap, and then how people have gotten the n/a to about 250 to the wheels, which is not a bad idea either. So what do you guys think?

250 out of an NA is pushing it.. if you want power id go with the TII swap. anything you do for power here on out is gonna be kinda expensive. if i were you i would do the swap then work my way up to a turbo upgrade.

You know the 2 speakers in the back? Well, looking at the speakers from the front of the car, that "pillar" type thing going downward, behind the carpet, thats where the harnesses were attached to. I'll get you pics.
