What is the first mod you guys did to your cars. Hit me with your answers.

 

change my spark plugs? :-p

 

heh yeah. when i first got my 7 i did an oil change, fuel filter, fuel injectors, spark plugs and wires and radiator flush/fill. then the first 'mod' was an HKS intake, which i now turned into a CAI

 

well if turbo i would get a down pipe

 

my first mod was some chromed out wiper blades, my frirends made fun of me, so i had to take them off

 

"i feel sorry for cali folk =( here in houston is getting to be 2 bucks for supreme 93 octane and i already feel the pain of it."
lol :-/

 

If your machine is turbo, a boost guage is a good investment, although not really a mod. I'd make sure everything was working properly first, if your car is in good running stock condition it will pay "dividens" farther down the road when you mod it more. That said, I'd by a boost guage first (Nice one like an apex'i or defi, you'll appreciate it more) and then I'd maybe get a downpipe and a high flow cat. At this point you'll hit creep and have to start worrying about that so either S5 turbo gets ported or you can externally gate your stock exh. manifold and weld your wastegate shut if it's an S4. Unless you want to go nuts. Prior to this though I'd get yourself some solid fuel control and either an AIC set up or some kind of piggy back fuel system and larger injectors. I'd do that before I bought an FCD or anything and just keep my foot out of it, it's cheaper to be safe than sorry.

 

Non-Turbo: Replaced the dual catalytic converters with a single Bonez High Flow from Rotary Performance in Texas (www.rx7.com). A full exhaust does wonders on a non-turbo car. Also look at Racing Beat (www.racingbeat.com) for their cat back and maybe headers depending on your goals.

 

CAI! CAI! and i put a pair of stupid 'wong' type mufflers on my 91 N/A. i really needed to replace the factory originals, and they make it sound good tho, like its got ***** or something....

 

my first mods to the rx7's and any other car i had i replaced the exhaust and intake

 

CorkSport catback and a bonez superflow....it was a "necessary" mod since my exhaust system had holes everywhere.

 

Mazdatrix True Dual Exhaust.
that's a 1400 dolla first mod and worth every penny.

how much HP gains with the exhaust? and whats better K&N air Filter or a cone filter
and whare can i get a CAI
thanks

 

read some of the noob stickys, that tells you the first mods you should do

 

can't buy a CAI for this car - gotta make your own

 

lol my first "mod" was to change oil, new clutch master and slave cylenders, and TOTALLY restored the brake system. new rotors, calipers, pads, bearings, lines, and brake master cylender! next on my list is a koyo radiator , and tein coilovers along with some wheels and rubber to go with the new stance.

 

my car didnt stop...so i had to get brake pads along with filter/plugs/wires

 

haha sounds like ur starting off in the right direction

 

hmm......thread title says first mod.....so u cant really include any of the maintaince stuff......if thats the case.....i got the RB 2.5 DP/MP and FCD
