Tutorial's and common Mods
Was wondering if there is a thread on common upgrades.
Interested in the following.
Brake Caliper Swap Upgrade. Whats need to upgrade to FC turbo II caliper's ?
Free mod's like Rear steering delete. I don't know what this is but read briefly that its needed to be done in order to drift.
Also does anyone have a solution to a beatup sunroof? I have a few small rust spots that can be repaired but figured there's something out there a little more light weight.
Ohh and short shifter recommendations. Thanks for any help.

I'd tell you,but right afterwards I would BAN you..(can't kill a guy with internet..mwuahhhahha!).
Seriously,Just handing it to you wouldn't be constructive!!
This way you get to Know your car.
All your answers are easily accessed in the FAQ's(frequently asked questions) and the Sec Gen Specific and Archives.
The reason why I am telling you that is because it has been posted..over,and over,and over again.
Besides,if you now own an Rx7,You wouldn't want anyone working on it that doesn't know WTF they are doing,right?
If you have the Info,you can do it yourself,and that is the "#1" reason why the Forum is here..
RX7 Club..not just for car parts anymore!
I got a C's Shifter..shifts like "Buttah"..
(C's shifter..I can't believe it's not Mazdatrix...lol!)

If your car is non-turbo then I would think that the smaller, lighter 4-lug wheels would work better for drifting. However, I don't drift, so I am just going by physics assumptions in that smaller/lighter wheels help with acceleration.
Most people seem to like C's, Mazdaspeed, and Mazdatrix. I was under the impression that C's are no longer in production. Corksport also makes one, but I don't know how it compares to the others.

Thanks for all the help everyone especially evil avatar.
Ive read through the fc faq and didn't see anything about the rear dtss system but later found a good explanation by evil avatar and mazdatrix.
I bought my fc with those items missing so that is why iam looking to replace them with better parts. I have 5 lug hubs so now I know either will work.
I am coming from the dsm crowd where theres section's on the forum devoted to upgrades like fuel pump rewire, porting how to's, caliper swaps, and such but I guess the rx-7 community requires more digging.
Ohh and I do all my own work, I was just looking to be pointed in the direction to find some answers.

You can't eliminate the 5/6th ports unless you rebuild the engine with different housings. A 4-port intake manifold will not fit properly on a 6-port engine because the footprint is different.
