I have about $800 to spend on my new 86 rx7. anybody have any ideas for me? I was thinking struts and springs and maybe exhaust if I have enough. I am looking for good quality stuff, not too worried about price.

 

Well I don't know wat u are planning to do with ur car and I don't know what the emissions laws are like where you live but I would start off with a nice exhaust system.Cat-back I guess if you have troubles with the emissions

 

apex gt cost about 500, and the dual N1's run for 480 @ www.rxecret7.com enjoy spending all ur money! i also spent 150 on sun hyper ground system, and about 45 for hks drop in filter. good stuff!

 

is the apex dual n1 pretty good, I am looking for performance mostly.

 

yes, duals r mosty common for NA's, the big fat single ones are for turbos, i heard the apex duals are actually one of the loudest and most efficiant gain of HP, im planning to get this too in the future, do a search on dual apex. =) most other people have other dual setups mostly because of thier budget, but u dont care about price right? hehe, apex and all others are rather more expensive.

 

Don't forget an air fuel system. Apexi S-AFC seems to be everyones favorite.

 

For 800 bucks you could buy an E6K or a microtech, set it up and get a couple hours of tuning in, much better than a piggy back.

hmmm..."If I had $800, what would I do?..."

- Racing beat streetable header and collector ($300), into a CorkSport midpipe ($90) and PS single catback ($290)...
- save up a little more and get 5Zigen FN01RCs(wheels)...$400 more for some Yoko ES100's...
- save up $100-$200 more and get some 16X7,16X8 Advan SA3's (with connections)...$400 more for ES100's...
- save up another $500, and get TEIN HE's...
- save up another $600, and get Cusco 1.5 way LSD...
- save up another $1000, and get RE Amemiya FC2000 front bumper and headlights...


...damn, with enough money, the sky is the limit...haha...


(...keeps day dreaming...)

 

get new suspension. Your struts & springs are shot. Do suspension bushings too.

 

^...oh yeah, new bushings are always good...


...and they're mildly cheap too...($100-$150) for front and back from ebay or Nrgy...

 

I vote for suspension upgrades.

 

Yea if I had the money, I would get an ecu to tune. This will be a very good investment even if you meet your goal and then decide to go a little further (ie. turbocharging)

 

What are some decent to top of the line brands?

 

i got KYB AGX shocks/strust and eibach prokit springs, then I got energy Suspension bushings. cost? no clue, it was free. My father paid. It's nice to still be 16. the shocks were a little over $400 i believe, the prokit aws around $240 and the bushings were around $100

 

I wish my parents bought me stuff. Even though I wouldn't want it because I wouldn't appreciate it.

 

id also spend that money on a new paint job if the paint on it is fading.

 

whats broken on you car? and dont kid yourself the car is almost 20y/o theres gotta be something that needs fixed or is wearing out. after that id take whatever youve got left and upgrade the suspension

 

good advice.

Tune-up or something. Spending $800 on a suspension, paint or stand alone ecu is worthless if the car is not running.

Save it for GAS

 

Paint is prime, I bought it from a very particular lady that is the original owner. Had every maintenance receipt. It has a little idling problem I am going to get checked out, it has sat for a few months so it may just need some breaking in and new plugs and wires. Thanks for the ideas, but keep them coming.

 

forgot to mention it has been rebuilt too.

 

forgot to mention it was rebuilt as well.

 

I dont think the CS midpipe will bolt up to the racing beat header, there will be a 2 inch gap left btween the midpipe and the cat back

 

GAH!...are you serious?!?!...this dude on this forum told me he was running this setup and it was flawless...may have read his reply wrong though...

RB headers into RB presilencers into the CS midpipe into the CS catback...

...that was the original plan, anyways...

 

sell it and buy a TurboII with the extra $$

 

no thanks.
