the best way with the 1st gen

I cant decide what would be the coolest thing to do with my 79 rx7. Im stuck between three options of having a beastly street car with the 13b turbo II motor that will embarass most cars, or making the car into a road racing car and getting into that, or making the car into a drag racing car (I live in MN). Its just got such sweet potential being so light and a there being a lot of cheap parts for it. Post your opinion of whats best for a 1st gen rx7

ive done a lot of searching on changing the first gen's to the 13b, but it seems like most of the guys who have done the conversion have a newer 1st gen. Is it a lot more difficult changing my car to the efi 13b turbo II. That and what was the first year the 7 had efi?

the first year it had efi was 84, and if u want...nothing is hard...i'm quite sure a lot of people have done the conversion you are considering and damn does it burn rubber. ur 79 will fly with the 13BT

I choose street beast because IMO, nobody expects to be beat by a small little car such as the 1st gen RX-7. Frankly, its quite the sleeper for its looks.
