Hello I just bought my first RX7 (86 13b) and I am wondering whats the best way to get started boosting the performance. Iv been around cars ever since I was a kid but I never really heard much about what to do to the RX7s

Is it the turbo model or non turbo?

You can start with doing a full tuneup.

1. Better rubber and brakes. Slow before go.
2. Tighten the nut behind the wheel.

i started with an exhaust and next im looking at an Exedy lightweight flywheel to put more power down to the wheels.

I know the tune up deal do it everytime I buy a car.
The brakes yea they are metal to metal just havnt had time to put the new pads in(bought it that way been driving it like that for a week), looking for a cheap set of rotors too, im sure their junk look like they might be factory (still got screws holding them to the wheel bearing).
Allready know what I want to do to the exaust, hack the cats, put on a header, and leave the mufflers on supposedly you get flames out the tips at 6.5 grand (or so I was told).
I will be getting rid of the air pump, air conditioning, and if I have it power steering, dont recall off hand.
Im wondering more like what can you do to get more power, heard a lot about porting but you need some sort of refrence plate or something? also someone said something about a larger throttle body what do you get that off? One last thing my oxegen sensor wire is hanging in space what all does the o2 sensor control? Cause I know my other cars the wont run with out it but the RX7 is running fine.

Thanks for that thread posting found some good info

sorry about so many questions but im curious and I don't know any one with an RX7 in my neck of the woods,
