Getting an 84-85, what carb should I get for my 12A?

Gonna go with the obvious RB exhaust and carb, but which should I get and how much are they?

What are differences in the diff. kinds of carbs?

Thanks.

I just want some more oomph. LOVE these cars.

Well I know that, just wondering about personal opinions on which is the best bang for the buck and is the easiest to install myself.

I think BadAssRx7 is selling a duel Weber setup. PM him about it. I think it's also in the 1st gen parts section, if he hasn't sold it yet.

opinions are going to vary considerably on this. all i can say is get the car first and drive it. get a feel for it. decide what mods you're going to do ... because if you stay stock port, you may be just as good just modding the Nikki.
but the aftermarket carbs are gonna depend on personal taste and driving styles, so people's opinions may hurt you just as much as they may help you since every comment will be relative to the person making it ...

Get a weber 48 IDA. they are brand new on e bay right now for under 600 bucks and then you just need a manifold. Talk to whom ever on here, but its pretty agreed that they are the most versatile. From street port to ful bridge its just a matter of changing the chokes and it will work great on what ever you want to run, even stock. they make great pwr too. The make about 25hp more than holley on big ported engines.

Your going to be kinda limited though. Those modified carbs wont be able to flow enough for the big ported stuff. Also they arent nearly as easy to set up for such a wide variety of applications.
