Question any 1st gen mods out there?

I have done a lot of searching on the net, and it just doesn't seem like there are a lot of mods or custom exterior/interior parts you can get for the 1st gen rx-7.....does anyone know of any links that has a lot of this stuff? Cause I certainly haven't been able to find any......it just seems hard to believe that there aren't a lot of products to customize the **** out of these cars.

Search properly! At the head of this forum's list of threads is a major list of vendors. There must be more modifications available than any other car around.

As this is only your second post you are forgiven.

WELCOME

Lets help

ENGINE BOLT-ON
header
exhaust/muffler
delete air pump
uograded fuel pump
MSD ignition
electric fan
K&N air filter
upgrade carb eg Weber IDA 48
upgraded ignition wires
dual pulleys
etc, etc, etc

Larger wheele 16-17' with 205 tires

SUSPENSION
stronger and lower coils
upgraded struts
stiffer swaybars
poly bushes
tower strut bar

EXTERIOR
front air dam
rear spoiler
side skirts

These are all 'stage 1' modikications before you even touch the engine, Think of
turbo charing
porting
efi
transplanting a 13BT or 20B
upgraded gear box
upgraded diff and lsd
stronger driveshaft
upgraded brakes
etc, etc, etc, etc

all going into building a 500+rwhp street car over 5-6 times more powerful than stock.

Look at all the mods on Mike28P' s signature, look at some of the project car web sites eg AJB13B.

Draw $10,000 from your bank account and start modifying, read my signature.

Then there's also the "cheap, simple, effective" mods you can do.
