wanted: power
 

i have decided to keep my car a sleeper after listening to many suggestions, so i want to know what i can do to my car to make it very fast. im so sick of narrow minded assholes that think they know what they are talking about when they say "u only have 160 hp, ur car is gonna be so slow" and some have even said that my car will not run under 17 in the 1/4, i tell them they have no idea what theyre talkin about but i just want to show them what an rx7 can do, so if u have any tips or websites for cheap mods that can increase my power please let me know

ps: my friend had an AEM intake w/ K&N air filter stuffed away and sold it to me, but i havent added it to my signature yet

when i mean cheap, i mean like under $400

Weight Reduction and smaller rims . . .

Euqasion for HP:

RX-7 + X = HP

Where X = Turbo*Fuel , V8

when u say weight reduction, what should i do to lower the overall weight

For $400...get at least a cat-back exhaust (CS single, $289) or try and get one custom bent for cheaper, and then get a header. Gut your cats or have a stright pipe made if you dont need emissions testing. And as 88IntegraLS said, weight reduction is a free mod that can really help, and lighter, smaller wheels would be better. But most importantly be very informed about how the car works, make sure it is up to 100% running condition with all routine maintenance (plugs,wires, filters, etc..) and read the stickies at the top of the forum and do searches for lots of good information. But ultimately you will not be fast in an N/A FC with a budget of $400....

removal of sound dampening material, carpet, (if you want) since your budget is tight at best and your car is N/A it doesn't leave it open for a lot.

also try gutting your cats if you don't have emmissions.

i have full magnaflow exhaust, but no header, i also ripped the cats off and put my stock rims back on by takin off the 17" rims

Can be bought used, and a TII fuel pump for 400$.

Taking out any unneccessary stereo equipment, removing A/C and Power Steering, removing spare tire, jack, and heavy sound deadening under the rear carpet would shave a bit of weight.

set a goal. You want to be faster, but how fast? Set a quarter mile time or a Hp number or beat the ricer down the street (if you can't already).

dump the subs!!
