If it doesn't need replacing, why do it?

I would say that RX-7.com knows a little more about these cars than 99% of the people on the forum here (including myself).

Yep, if you are replacing a 7-10 year old radiator that is not in good condition you'll definitely notice a difference. There are many threads of people who didn't notice one temp difference. However, their stock radiator was obviously in good condition. Regardless, I still think it's a good investment to replace any plastic parts with aluminum (the ones that are feasible) when possible.

Hmm.....

Intake, FMIC, cat-back, streetport all on stock ecu but no downpipe?

Also, the car is lowered 2" using HKS springs (1.25" drop)?

I'm sure he'll sell it to some poor ignorant schmoe...

I believe is said H&R springs, not HKS, not that it matters much.

No matter what is listed, $17,500 is way too much money for this poor car. I feel sorry for the guy who ends up with it.

O.k... I can't believe he didn't blow his engine up.. I guess he turned the boost way down.. I heard from the past the you can't do too much mods to Autos..

Something is definitely wrong with this car.. and the guy know absolutely nothing about FD's
