Yeah tell me about it, only 40K original.
I dont think it is.
I wanna do wheels, exhaust (Apexi GT Spec), Suspension (Tein Super Drift). Turbo it and maybe swap to an S5. But I wanna go n/a for as long as I can.

damn, very nice. If you take care of it you'll be able to hit 200K miles as NA so you have plenty of time to source, save and buy the TII swap stuff.

I don't think you should mess with the body though. Kinda messed up to destroy a cherry car just to make it look newer.

you can't get mre JDM than an RX7. The only thing would be maybe TII swap. Other than that and it's full JDM straight out of Hiroshima.

That's awesome! Very nice! congrats!

For what it's worth, when you do go turbo, it's much easier to swap in an s4 turbo engine than trying to convert to s5, or turbo-ing the 6-port n/a engine.

If you are serious about drifting, then don't worry as much about mods to begin with, get as much seat time at as you can, then worry about mods later. And make sure everything is in good shape, full tune up.
