Welcome FD3SJesse be sure to read all the newbie and FAQ before starting a new thread. Always search before starting a new thread mainly because more then likely it has been talked about numerous times over.

no problem...Thanx for your cooperation...Ill definately post pics of my FD when i get it....Its really hard to find a clean FD in miami with somewhat low mileage....people beat cars to hell down here...anybody know the differences between the touring, R1 and R2 models...the only difference i know of is the R1 comes w/o leather and i believe (not sure) it has a more aggresive suspension

on my Si i have a top fuel intake, toda 4-2-1 headers, smsp 2.5" cat, hy-tech 2.5" twin-loop cat-back exhaust...denso iridium plugs, magnecor 8.5 mm wires, msd sci ignition, msd blaster coil, spoon grounding system...as for internals the only thing i changed was the camshafts, which i replaced for civic type-r camshafts and also a mugen metal headgasket which bumped up my compression .2 more....i used a p28 (sohc vtec ecu) w/ a jdm b16 program, and backed by a apex'i vafc for tuning...for suspension i am using mugen lowdowns and put reinforced bushings around the car, also i switched out the stock motor mounts for spoon reinforced motor mounts...for drivetrain i used a jdm integra type-r final gear which made better accleration and a exedy organic clutch mated to a fidanza 7.5 lb. flywheel....other than that, thats pretty much it , i mightve forgotten something but thats pretty much my setup....Thanx,

Welcome to the forum, do post pics when you get your FD. Sounds like the si has a bit done to it 
Also, do use the search function otherwise you will get flamed by a lot of people on here and be called numerous names besides newbie lol

Yes that is exactly right.

Remember to do this dude. Not only will you achieve ALOT of information, but you will save yourself the hassle of getting nagged on by people about using the search.

Have patience and watch the "RX-7's For Sale / Wanted". I looked for about 6 months and finally found a really good deal that was near enough to avoid shipping. Personally I don't think that there's any point looking anywhere else unless you're interested in a bone stock automatic. (You'll probably need more patience than the average 22 year old but that's a good thing. You need to take your time with this car otherwise you'll blow a lot of money unnecessarily, money being another thing 22 year olds are often short on 
)
Oh yeah, read the faqs, read the faqs, read the faqs. Search, search, search. As soon as you see someone's post count is into 4 digits it gives them license to be merciless, but for good reason. There are so many new threads started everyday that it's hard to keep up so everyone's trying to keep the thread count to the minimum necessary.
