i have an almost stock FC! any suggestions on what to do?

its a 1987 FC N/A im just wonderin what i should do with her, im in love with drifting and im new to rotarys. i put a rebuilt engine in and its ported and polished. im pretty sure the spark plugs are bad and so are the wire. so i bought some NGK laser platinums and NGK wires. i bought the car with aftermarket mufflers (idk brand) and a K&N cone filter. thats all. ide like to know how to tune it to drift and or drag. should be a fun expensive project. =P

plenty of build threads on the forums.. search, to many ways to do anything and everything you can imagine.. and asking what to do to YOUR car in general will only lead to everyone telling you to do what they did to their 7 ahha

for beginners i say rb street headers with presilencer, coilovers/springs and shocks, rims and tires, front lip and skirts, and add a system for that bump in your trunk! well hatch lol

good luck with your project.. and welcome to the rotary familia! LOL

Make sure everything is running well before you try to do many modifications.

+1, then focus on modding the driver.

i guess i get to say it this time....welcome to the dark side. just a warning as someone told me this 5 years ago...there is no rehab for rotary.....just start with your basics.

-new plugs/wires
-check over all drivetrain components
-new suspension
-if you dont like your exhaust get some racingbeat
-maby a lightweight flywheel (act 13lb or racingbeat 17lb)
-tires/rims

what size port do you have just a normal streetport or agressive streetport? also is it a gx,gxl, base? if its a gx you may want to look for a gxl rear end as it is LSD and the gx is open type.
