List of items and links instead of gay pictures. Tell us what kind of car you have.

Also, ditch anything you've seen in Fast and the Furious.

dont waste money on cheesy ****, get a good exhaust, a good intake, some lowering springs and some nice wheels. underglow is not going to get you laid, at the end of the day, its your car, do what you want, im not hater and would never dog a guy for his style. just dont waste your money.

Last year, I built my house. That's all I did...really. I went to work, then worked on my house for 1 full year. Now that I'm done, I get to spend time with my wife and my new daughter. I kinda missed the first year of her life
Now that tax returns are comming in, I get to play with my 7 again. I only got to really drive it for 2 months then I started building my house. I picked it up in ID for $800. No rust, Perfect compression, near perfect interior. (the guy couldn't get it to start properly and just wanted to get rid of it)





I put 17" Kobe 5 spoke rims on it



And now I finally get to enjoy this summer.
Help me out guys, cause my buget isn't that huge, but I do want to get a lot of the things I want for my car.

Here's a list of where everything is at that I could find:

Headers: $190
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-...|39:1|240:1318


Steering Wheel: $39
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/86-91...ayphotohosting


Transformers Horn: $18
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-...|39:1|240:1318


Interior Neon: $30
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/4PC-B...QQcmdZViewItem


Underbody Neon: $90
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BLUE-...QQcmdZViewItem


R Hoses: $78
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-...ayphotohosting


Hoses: $36
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-...1%7C240%3A1318

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-...1%7C240%3A1318


Exhaust: $100
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/UNIVE...1%7C240%3A1318


Lights: $27
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-...ayphotohosting


Intake: $25-$33
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-...1%7C240%3A1318

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-...1%7C240%3A1318

Adapter: $5
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-...1%7C240%3A1318



Corksport:



R Pannel: $59
http://corksport.com/store/category/...rx-Engine.html

Spark Plugs: $37.00
http://corksport.com/store/category/...rx-Engine.html


Strut Bars: $168.00
http://corksport.com/store/category/...sion_misc.html




Decals:



HR Decal: $13
http://holyrollerz.org/window.html

RX7Club.com Decals: $20



Remember, not all of it is what I am getting, just need to find the best of them, and keep my buget under $700
I'm not looking for a ton more power, cause I've been down that path and it'll get me in trouble again. Call me a ricer, but I've always liked Underglow.

ok my opinion....sinc you got the rims, a clean *** car, and the nice system....lower it. makes it look super clean and get the handling you need. after wards get the stuff that makes your stock performance 100%. hoses, lines etc.... if you need to get spark plugs dont waste time on the hks...NGK or Denzo works just as good. and the autobot horn button is a nice touch after all said is done.

i agree ... rethink your list.. you will be building a tasteless car if its all ebay knock off parts. Put a lil more passion and homework behind your parts selection and you will enjoy it alot more. It may be more costly to put japanese parts, but nothing is wrong with sourcing out 2nd hand brand name used parts on ebay.

if this was a ford focus, ebay parts would be all you have, but this is a japanese sports car with some decent aftermarket parts behind it that you get to enjoy.

search keywords "jdm fc3s" on ebay usually brings up good results

The overal theme and feel of the car will be better with legit parts instead of cheapo knock off ebay parts... same goes for wheels to.

here watch jdm insider, you will appreciate legit parts more after you watch it

I got a Jensen but modified the center piece to look good with it
I'll post pics when I'm all done

I do want a good stance for my car but I don't want to drop it much. Remember, I live in MT and there are nothing but potholes unless your on main st. lol
I can score a set of Tien springs for about $200. I've always had great history with those.

http://www.amazon.com/B-G-Springs-50...7121369&sr=1-2


What about intakes and exhausts?

For the intake, "CorkSport Intake Pipe for NA Rx7" with a K&N filter would look nice, but paying $170 for just piping is a lot of $ for little go. I could just do the HD performance piping (PVC) lol.... for a lot less and get the same effect.

For the Exhaust, I do like the "CorkSport Power Series" but it's $350. There goes my budget, lol

http://corksport.com/store/category/...rx-intake.html

Give me some advise guys on what you think about the power gains. Is it worth it? or Should I stick with the stock intake with K&N drop in filter and just get an exhaust?


$549 could get me a K&N drop in filter, Corksport Exhaust, Headlights, and Lots of Sylicone Hoses (including Radiator)
