What kind of parts would you reccomend

For a 1990 RX7 GLU, Im not planning to buy soon, I just wanna do some pricing research.

Whats a good exhaust and intake kid, as in what piping would be good for an RX7. I want my car to be tuned for street and track more so than drag.

Springs and shocks, my friends said for springs Whiteline, Eibach, and Tokicko springs were all good choices. For shocks Tokicko, but they are a bit expensive, KYB AGX is a good shock/strut kit and very good for the price.

Ive been studying FC's for awhile and Im finally getting one and am very optimistic about finally getting mine. Any helpful tips or hints you enthusiasts can give would help, thank you

Congrats on your 7. I would start by ditching the stock airbox and getting a cone filter and heat barrier. Then a good header and exhaust (sorry I can't recommend but I'm a turbo guy). You've got the right idea, let her breathe. I'm too sure of the n/a upgrade path for specifics.
I think you can get a set of coilovers for the same price as a tokicko illumina setup & springs for example. K2RD has a kit for $950, with camber plates.

Cheers

When I had my N/A, I had the Racing Beat Header and presilencer combo, and that thing screamed...it felt pretty good on the butt dyno too (not very accurate, but always reliable). I would agree with HeffBoost in saying that a cone filter with heat shield will do you wonders. After that, a full exhaust: Header, presilencer (or high-flow cat if you have emissions), and a cat-back. Many argue on the benefits/downfalls of certain systems, but from personal experience I have found that if you want a single exit exhaust, the Apex'i N1 is awesome but a tad loud, and as far as dual, the Racing Beat cat-back is high-flowing and quiet. It's all up to you really, there are so many combinations that would work, but my personal reccomendation is: RB Header/presilencer and Apex'i N1 Cat-back. Congrats on the car and have fun...

Edit: If you plan on doing any fuel mods, give me a PM, or IM me at KyrmseX2.
