advise, suggestions on upgrading FD3S

Hi, I have a FD3S RHD, I would like to get some advises on making the car better not for track but for street / daily driving.

more specifically I am looking for upgrade advises on

-improving reliability
-improving low to mid rpm acceleration
-improving suspension, sporty yet not too bumpy
-make the car sound quiet when cruising, but roar when accelerate (to make sure people know this is a rx7)

suggestions and advises would be appreciated, if possible, please also include the names/brands of the specific parts that should be used

thanks

Even though you can find all of this info rather easily if you took two minutes to seach, I'll play

-improving reliability
Replace DP, RAD, vacuum hoses (silicone). Add AI (H^20), delete AST.

-improving low to mid rpm acceleration
CAI, SMIC or Vmount, MP, CB, ported weastegate, Power FC tuned, EBC up the boost 2 lbs.

-improving suspension, sporty yet not too bumpy
Koni yellows (adjustable dampening)

-make the car sound quiet when cruising, but roar when accelerate (to make sure people know this is a rx7)
Resonated midpipe + Racing beat catback.

Depending on the condition of the turbos and engine that is a 300-340 RWHP FD that is very driveable, reliable, and quiet. Now this is my good deed for the day.... Don't get cocky ask me anything.

Guys, these cars are now approaching 20 years old. I know it's hard to believe, but subjects like this have been covered before. Please use the search function in the future, and also spend some time in the archives. Thanks
