im a 20 year old with a 93rx7 and my mom and dad keep asking me what i want for christmas....id like to get something for my car(i was thinking speakers) its a 93 touring. any ideas are much welcomed. thanks guys

 

what is the budget?

 

Speakers?!Dude...you own a rx7.

 

PFC with a tune.

 

That's what I was going to say, but wanted to know what was the budget first

 

PFC with a Steve Kan tune

 

^^Thats what I'm getting only more like Feb/Marchish time frame.

 

whats pfc? and im in college. id say around 500 maby.....low end. mom and dad are not together so i could mix the gifts maby....

 

under 1,000.

 

It is a Apexi Power FC, ECU to control your car..so you can do a lot of mods without blowing your motor up...

 

Oh, and yes ask for the Power FC.....

 

Hks twin power and a ricy blow off valve.

 

For 1k I'd say good tires.

 

the thing you need most obviously. if you need tires get those. or a paint job get that. or just ask for some cash or a gift certificate to your local shop! that would be the best i think, b/c then you wont be disappointed. and isnt that what christmas is all about, avoiding disappointment (sigh, whimper)!?

 

Driving school. Being that being able to drive this car was up to your parents, I doubt they want it trashed.

 

my local shop is an hour away....would a pfc be something a non-rx guy could do cause my frined is lead mechanic at a shop... i dont need tires. how much do they go for?

 

20B

 

what mods does it already have? bone stock?

intake, dp, catback if you already have some decent tires on it. Power FC would be nice but if your stock there are pleanty of things you can do before needing a PFC.

Maybe start a new engine fund

Yeah just liked SPOautos said, If you plan on doing upgrades your going to need the PFC. I would say ask for that.....

 

bone stock and have 1000 on the new engine.....oh when they put that in they added a aftermarket radiator. other than that, its stock.

 

i dont want a 11 sec car(at least not yet). the idea of intake and down pipe sounds good. things like that....and how much does one of the pfc's cost anyway? im going to be working over the summers for the next 4 years to just pay off the car (loan from the mom), so i cant put big big money into it now...

like i said, thanks guys and keep the threads comming. bobby

 

RB dual tip catback.
intake of somesort
good cd player?

 

Aluminum AST & other reliability mods.

 

Don't waste your time with speakers especially if you have a touring (Bose-equipped) car. If your Bose stuff is working, leave it that way. You will not find a more balanced speaker for the front without spending more than $1,000 to do it right (amplifier, new head unit, installed properly with dynamat). If you have a base or R1, the sound installation is much easier. Still, if I were you, I would worry about reliability and basic performance first.

Downpipe - Don't know which brand
Catback - I agree with ijneb, get the Racing Beat Dual Tip
Intake - It sounds like AdamC's cheap bastard mod works well and is...cheap!
Boost Gauge - So you know what's going on

Those mods will make a noticeable increase in power and reliability, and purchase and installation should be under $1,000.

Good luck! Remember, never drive her hard until she's fully warmed up!

 

JAH MON!!! get the reliablitiy mods done first. an Aluminum AST($125 from Pettit) and a Down Pipe ($275 HKS). if you're going to do the DP yourself... get the HKS... you'll thank me later for recommending it.
