Spend the extra $400 on RB Sway bars and adj endlinks. Exhaust would be a waste of money if your debating going turbo. Just do all the suspension you can and it will definitly make the car more fun until you do the swap.

^^^don't listen to this guy (fcDrifterz ). SC is cool but not cost effective. There ARE some clean SC FCs but it's not worth it IMHO.


I'd listen to the guy telling you to do all the suspension and eventually do a turbo swap. Find yourself a crashed TII for really CHEAP and then do the swap.

what better time to learn? I had never done anything besides simple oil changes before I did my FIRST TII swap.

It's not hard. Follow the instructions, have the right tools and a friend or two don't hurt ( as long as they aren't total retards).

Stick with the NA, read up a lot more and eventually make your car faster. One step at a time and you'll eventually know what you're looking for.

Or you can just buy a TII but no matter how you look at it you'll have to invest some money in maintenance and repairs from the get go unless you buy a car from a reputable RX7 guy that you KNOW you can trust to have kept his car in great shape from day 1.
