1) You suck....
2) It seems to have a lot of the "initial Mods"
You might want to toss a High flow fuel pump in it since you are running higher boost

3) The color of the pully???? Well... most other aftermarket mods. like FPR's, braided fuel line fittings and billet fuel filters come adonized in red or blue, that may help your decision.

The RB downpipe and presilencer mate up to the stock catback.... If the Apexi n1 was designed to bolt to the stock system, it should bolt up to the RB front end.

Personally, I would put the apexi on E-Bay and get the Racing beat Catback!!

Hmmm...looks like someone might have switched out the gauge pod? That could mean that the milage isn't right either. Either way though, that car is BAD ***...congrats on your TII.

Yes, the only turbo rx-7s with an ~8200 rpm redline were the 1993-2002 3rd gen rx-7s. The ~7200 rpm redline is one of the reasons
the gearing is a bit different with the Turbo IIs. With a faster & higher accuracy afermarket ECU, I'd assume you could move back
to 8500 rpms.

91mazdarx7- nice car
It's a clean looking S5 that looks/sounds like you might need to go back and fix other's shortcomings.
The next thing I'd do- drive it.
I love the pics
