Oh, it only has 18,600 original miles. Yes, 18,000 not 180,000.

You need to make your pictures viewable to the public...we can't see anything!

I don't need to see pictures. If it has 18,xxx original miles, restore it (if needed), and put it under a glass dome, for all to stare and wonder at in amazement of the power of the Rx7, sorta a shrine idea If you want to mod one, pick up a nice condition first gen and start playing. Go ahead, they're cheap right now

Even without looking at a picture. If the car only has 18,000 miles, I would leave it bone stock and drive as is. Someday it will appreciate far more than a modded car.

If you are going to go with a carb and exhaust- I would take care as to make sure all mods are easily reversible with no apparent tinkering.

(Of course I would also put climate control in my garage, spoon feed the car MMO and wipe its butt after everytime I started it up..but I'm crazy like that..)

put a racing beat cat back exhuast and a bonez intake and make sure you oil your filter regularly i dont see any problem in doing that, just dont start removing **** and getting crazy, thats to low of miles to be heavily modified
dont be pulling a jesse james monster garage on it !

I don't know why you guys can't veiw the pictures. This car is in mint condition. I was just thinking of a K7N filter and Exhaust. Those would be easy to change back.

Yes, you answered my questions, but I was hoping to share the pictures. For us RX-7 nuts, this is one car you would appreciate. I think I can only email the photo link.
