first be realistic about what u want out of the car. Basic bolt on will add plenty of excitment to your car and keep it together. I've got plenty of extras for a stock car.(downpipe, center section,stockmount ic, peterferall exhaust etc..) send me a email if you are interested.

i drive a civic? i have spent over twenty five thousand dollars on my car and most of that was in cash. this is not a toy.

an Rx7 is a high maintenance car. throw the wrong mods on the car in the wrong order and you will catching the bus for a year while you save for your new engine to go along with your new car.

I was talking about the jt imports dude. This is actualy the third car in the collection and money is not an object, and the 7 only has 48k miles on it, it is my understanding that they dont need a rebuilt untill about 80k miles. Appreciate your advice.
Thanks

First, read the FAQ. Get familiar with the basics. https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/faq-3rd-gen-other-useful-links-68640/

Then read the thread under "Advice"

Good thing money is no object. Check out the FAQ's and newb section and it should allow you to keep allot of it (money) most of the motors that go before there time are do to poor maintenance, or improper modding. So read and learn and welcome. PS. most start with the reliability mods (some of these provide additional HP) which leads to further mods.
