intercooler pipes replacement/rx7store.net
Hey guys
im looking around for some small upgrades that i wanna do on my car
my car is completely stock apart from a k&n filter stock replacement
i was thinking for the greddy intercooler pipe kit ( with the elbow etc)
is that a good idea? (weather conditions are pretty hot )
i found them on rx7store.net but i have heard that his job aint decent
i dunno the guy so i thought to ask you guys if someone knows.
or unless if anyone else has that kit
thanks
con

Reliability mods aside, the Greddy 3 piece pipe kit is only useful for the stock intercooler, which you should upgrade soon. You'd be better off figuring out what it is you want to do with the car, then upgrade parts to satisfy your needs. If you go out and buy parts for no real reason, you'll find yourself wasting a lot of money and have a lot extra parts sitting in your garage.

I've had no problems with rx7store.net. Piping won't make your car any faster. Stick to the maintentance and reliability mods, and just enjoy the car for a while.

eh, you can just do what you want to do, if you want to listen to the people here go read the FAQ's like everyone has suggested, if you want to go your own route by all means do so. But keep in mind there is a lot of good information on these boards and you'd be wise to tap into it.
An elbow kit is not a reliability mod.

plastic pipes are less likely to transfer heat, but more likely to wear and rip. The greddy hardpipes, much like the Efini Y pipe, they are hard pipes made to last a lot longer than ur original OEM.
reliability mods are cooling mods and replacing bad OEM parts that can wear out, break due to age, or simply poorly made to reduce the manufacture cost of the car. Things like aftermarket radiator, ast, new fuel filter, new spark plugs, aftermarket SMIC (stock mount intercooler), efini-y pipe... etc...
AST = air separater tank
like others mentioned. please go through the FAQ stickie thread on the top of the 3rd gen section. it goes over all the rx7 factory info, vocabulary terms, reliability mods list, and links to safty and performance mods installation write ups.

Even look at Rx7store's power packages it should give you a good idea of staging your upgrades.
