Need help on building up an Automatic
I just sold my 91 ZTT and have been offered a 93 RX7 for a really good deal. I have owned an RX7 before but I have never owned an automatic sports car and it kinda makes me not want to buy it. What kind of transmission work am I looking at to get 10 second runs out of it? I appreciate it any help.

Thomas, do a search on 'automatic' and all sorts of things will pop up. Meanwhiles, you can visit the FD Auto Group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ATFD/

level ten
im building an auto right now. level ten has any thing you need for that tranny. it should hold up to whatever you need. get your stall sent off depending on your mods get it set between 3000 & 4000 rpm. they have up graded clutches and a shift kit for the car.

Thomas, if you really want to keep it an auto tranny (i'm assuming for drag use), you can swap the tranny for a Chevy auto tranny. Contact Marcus Williams (whos in Houston) on how to get the adaptor plate. www.turbostreetfighter.com .
Much more performance parts available for the Chevy tranny of course. I'd stay way from Level10. Last I heard, they were being investigated for fraud by NJ.
