Installing a midpipe is not wise unless you upgrade the ECU first.

Yeah dude, dont touch the mid pipe. Vacuum hose replacement is also a good idea. As well as a boost guage. Maintenance wise. I would replace the spark plugs, pcv valve, fuel filter and put some redline in the transmission.

read the FAQ's and do A LOT of research before you do anything!!!!!!!

run a search of "reliability mods" and you'll get plenty of hits. and yes, you should do the reliability mods first. and no, you do NOT want to change out your midpipe yet. a PowerFC isn't gonna save your engine when all that boost hits because you have a cat-less mid-pipe.

btw, if you rush into things and jack up your car, you won't be getting any simpathy from anyone. people have put up a lot of time and effort helping others get educated on how they should/shouldn't mod their RX7. not trying to be rude, just giving you a head's-up.

research!
