Welcome to the club

The first thing you should do is a complete tuneup Make sure you get new plugs (NGKs!) and wires, all the basic maintence, complete fluid replacement, etc. Then go through and do some reliability mods, such as vaccumm tube replacement and such.

I'm not sure about sites with wings or catbacks, though.. someone else will chime in shortly, i'm sure.

I agree, fix every problem before you modify the car

as you'll find with a TII, the little-est vacuum leak will cause it to run like complete as$. it took me a week to find the leak that was causing my crappy idle but now it idles perfect.

as for sites with catbacks, try www.rx7store.com

that just one of many i have bookmarked.

If you want to, you can do some light weight mods like removing interior, ac, ps, etc...
