Exhaust and intake. Try to remove weight. Talk to a guy named Samps here on the forum. He has a pretty killer Vert. Probally N20 will be your best bet.

well, its all about your budget man, if you have enough, i would say break out some roll cage and a TII complete drive terrain swap. and, maybe some of that giggle gas on the side for the street races. Most RX7 enthusiest have verts on the side for daily drivers, not as their main killer machine, but, there is nothing to say a vert cant be fast. Hope this helped some man, anyone else?

how qwick do u want to go? who do u want to beat? Then we will tell u if its possible. speed is relitave, so in my opinion u can make a convertable fast. Mabey street port and intake exaust. Or standalone and nos. Turboing is not your only option u know. Just got to set some long term needs. Mine is to get my 89GXL into the low 14s. I reserched this and know how much im going to spend and the amount of work im going to do. If I didnt think about what I wanted then I will never stop and end up buying **** I never needed or originaly intended to get. So think about what your going to want know and in the futre for your convertable and establish a base. Hope that helps.
