welcome to the exclusive rxclub! we will have you hatting your FC in no time. 
man did you just open a can worms, open ended questions dont go well on this forum. so for future reference make sure you use that search button. 1st bet is to get VERY familiar with the daily mechanics of the car. make sure you check EVERYTHING! start with a tune up. change your oil, plugs, check your fuel pump, belts all that stuff. get your self a copy of the FSM (factory service manual) you can find a pdf of it on this site somewhere and get the Haynes manual for it.
what kind of setup are you looking for? since its a daily driver as well you are gonna want to keep it reliable. im sure more ppl will chime in...
fellas? any care to do the honors?

Meh, I bought an n/a and just did a swap after a few years. Nothin wrong with working your way up to a turbo. Plus you'll be better if you first learn how to slide a car with no power, it will force you to use the momentum of the car to slide. Then by the time ur turbo, you should be able to handle it. Have fun, and don't break your ****! You'll be sad.
My advice- Get a good set of tires, do some suspension work to eliminate body roll, and throw in a lsd (if you don't already have one in there)

Yes, this guy will be buying a different car in no time, thanks 7 club.
Don't break your **** kid. Great advice. You don't want to drift in your daily driver. Also, you'll probably need to learn a lot more attention to detail if you want to own a nice rotary.

First thing you should do is read the FAQ at the top of the 2ng Gen section, then familiarize yourself with the search function on this site. It is very helpful and 99.9% of everything you will ask or want to know has already been covered and just waiting for you to search for it.

To bruh bruh. Get ur chasis right first than worry about boosting. I daily my rx7 and have no problem with stuff breaking. It all depends on how you keep maintenance up on it.
You will need MORE credit cards! Lol
