I took on a 300ZX no problem. (87 RX7 N/A) I dont have much cone filter with the AFM adapter plate and no cats. I pulled on him from start through 1st and through 2nd and 3rd before we shut down. Not sure of his mods. But yea you shouldn't have to big of a problem as long as it isn't a turbo.

Wow, everyone should stop being such a **** and actually help him.

Rims: It's your choice. I learned from scanning eBay and magazines, different rims and tires on cars and the like.

Exhausts:
http://www.racingbeat.com
http://www.corksport.com
http://www.rx7.com
http://www.summitracing.com
http://www.ebay.com
http://www.rx7store.com
http://www.speedmachineperformance.com

Search for sound slips and the like. Its a matter of opinion on alot of them. I perfer a light set up.

Hoods:

I don't know any others off the top of my head. If you have a steel hood its a good idea to loose the weight. If you don't want to pay for one however, check into an aluminum hood.

Intakes:
http://www.rx7.com
http://www.corksport.com
http://www.wcnet.org/~vbkrolak/vkfolder/vinspeed.htm
http://www.rx7store.com
http://www.speedmachineperformance

Also search for a cold air set up. The air box above is the only manufactured product from above.

I hope that helps!

Thread cleaned up, if you're going to be constructive, do it in a nice way instead of being ********.

If you are switching from a steel hood to a carbon fiber one it will drop a fair amount of weight, but the weight difference will not make a big enough change in speed for you to notice, period.

This thread is done.
