Ok my next part i plain on buy is some megan racing coilovers they look like a good set. or the racing beat rev turbo 2 exhaust their both about the same price on rx7store.com but im not sure whick one to do first? also im not sure if i have to buy anything else with the coilovers it looks like a full set but im not sure.

I have a home made exhaust on right now but i want to upgrade.

so what do you guys think coilovers or exhaust

thanks for the advice

 

i say if u already have ex. "homemade"(it is bigger then stock right?) or not its still better then the stock

id go with the sus. ---are the coilover sleaves or full body?

 

Tokico blues and eibachs + used exhaust? Megans are going to disappoint if you are killing cones like in your avatar.

 

Megan = cheap junk
Racing Beat = pretty good stuff

The choice would be easy for me.

 

if your shocks aren't blown
exhaust. all the way.

 

i didnt know megan was crap, i really didnt. i just had never heard anything bad but if thats the general concensus i wont get them lol

as far as the racing beat the cat-back is good i u wanna run stock boost...

if not... ull need a bigger ex. ex. only flows as good as its smallest diameter.
and the tii ex from them isnt too big, my friend said he could hear the ex. hissing like a stock one does when i came to 12-15psi when i had my racing beat catback.

i sold it and got 3"pipe got it bent welded to a fart can.. no more hissing. quick boost. and it sounds like the Racing beat, just louder

 

i would get the coilovers. i have done the exhuast before coils and i regretted it.

 

i track my car and it looks like you auto cross yours as well. the exhaust isn't going to give you the improvements you're probably looking for. don't get megan coilovers theyre trash. i suggest koni sport with ground control coilover kit if you grip or powered by max coilovers if youre a drifter.

 

wow soo many blast megans with no experience with them lol...


coilovers > exhaust

exhaust gets you in trouble *with the law*

 

Megan is actually a pretty good brand.
I've driven a few 240's outfitted with them.
I was under the impression that something was wrong with your home grown exhaust, and well lets face it, nobody likes an exhaust leak.

However you can save alot of scratch and find some awesome lightly used coilovers in our FS section.

 

suspension hands down.
the amount of difference is much more with suspension.
and better handling would shave some time off time attacks and stuff.

 

Screw buying brand new ****...surf the FS section and you can probably buy both. I would do coilovers hands down no question. Doesn't matter if you drive on highways or back roads, you WILL become faster.

 

I think i mite just save for the mazdatrix coils. my home made exhaust ok its just loud no cat.

 

I would do coilovers. do you know if it is too hard to re-install a turbo two motor back into a turbo two rx7 they are both s4.

 

^can u not jack thread, kthnx.

Really I don't see any issues with the stock handling, then again my 7 was never beaten on (Its all original suspension parts tho...)

After I got a K&N and exhaust, I was very happy. I have no intentions to get suspension parts till it really needs it

 

while we're on the topic; what used racing suspensions could I can maybe get for around $500?

 

any body?

 

It's really your choice man, no matter which way you go you will want the other. I got teh REV T2 racing beat exhaust, and now I want coilovers because the car is way to high on 17s. If it were the other way around, I would want exhaust. From the sounds of it, you want the exhaust. It truly is an amazing exhaust system, it sets off the car and gives it a very unique tone. I wouldn't trade my exhaust for coilovers if they were the last sets on earth.

If you go with coilovers get stance, lots of people run them and have nothing but good things to say about them. I'll be going with stance as well.

 

stance never heard of them you know of a site so i can look them up... i know what you mean about your sit to high lol it looks like a rally car. lol i should just get some lowering springs and the exhaust lol

 

what coilovers would you go with if you were to put it on good condition stock shocks?

 

What?

anyway..get stance. Here

 

awesome; i'm getting a credit card in the mail in a couple days, i'll probably get my hands on a fc3s set, I read the website and it seems like it will work for my car. I need better handling that's for sure.

 

Don't do it! Save up until you buy them cash, then pick 'em up... Think of the weight you'll save off your shoulders if you don't owe the CC companies your life, that's gotta be worth at least 2 seconds in a 45 second AX

 

Agreed, Do not buy coilovers with a credit card. Save the credit card for things you NEED, not want. Learn to drive your car better, play with tire pressure. Those things will help. But anyways you should stay away from credit cards. I would say use them for food and neccesities in life when you have no cash. Or say your motor blows, have no cash. I could understand rebuilding your motor on credit if its your only car. Just what I would do. More track and seat time.
