your question is really vague. it all depends on your goals and how much money you have to spend. for everything on your list plan on spending about $10,000

lol its funny because i said, that list must be a good 10gs, i guessed right. what kind of specs should i be looking at? what kind of cars could i compete against

im just asking, in your guys oppinions, if you had about 10k to spend on performance mods, what would you buy.... buying a new car isnt an option.

new engine, turbo, standalone EMS, other supporting mods and a professional tune. fix what needs replaced. maybe some suspension mods or interior stuff. then see how much money you have left over

initial D is REAL!

How is the condition of the car?. Is it NA or turbo?

you definitely don't need ceramic apex seals...those are $1000+ alone

half bridgeport, stage 3 bnr. haltech, suspension, all supporting mods.

its a turbo. it needs like very very minor body work and a paint job. and a spoiler

check out what it's taken for mine to get done. basically, everything on your list except 'looks' and 'nos'. i just went with OEM seals.

And guess what, it's more than 10g. And you still are gonna want a big turbo... that's a whole nother blog!

wow, nice FC. im still wondering if i want to venture into the rotary world or just buy a late 80's mustang 5.0 or maybe even throwing in a piston engine into the rx7, but then again that defeats the whole perpose.. whats better about rotary;s?

either you love em or your clueless. I bought one that I just happen to come across (not knowing anything about em) and loved it. they are light, quick and fun to drive. You can make lots of power, but you need to find a RESPECTED rotary mechanic who knows how to mod these.

if you need to ask that, you're probably not ready for the maintenance schedule or the breakdowns, especially with what you have planned.

not really, if anything, id buy it as a project car and have another daily driver.
