No. It's basically like if your version of going out was to take a girl to McDonald's, how would you expect her to feel? The FD just needs to be treated right, not pampered incessantly like an old Ferrari Dino or Triumph Bonneville.
Basic bolt-ons don't require tuning, but you need to understand just what bolt-ons you can't get away with. Please read the newb stickies (as has been suggested in previous posts in this thread) and you will understand.
No. Read the stickies and their associated links please.

No offense, but you need to decide: What is the real reason for the car? Is it to impress people? Is it for just straightline speed only? If so, then perhaps the FD may not be the car for you. It's like my previous analogy: If you think you can cheap out on the FD and throw a couple of parts at it, then just pour in gas and thrash it, you will be in for a rude surprise.
The Apex'i Power FC is basically like the AEM standalone. Read please...

Most likely will be used for straightline speed but the occasional canyon carving/ mountain road driving.

Not planning on cheaping out on any of the cars. You get what you pay for. They're the best, so they deserve the best. I don't plan on tearing up rubber every time I get int the driver's seat. I'm not car enthusiast that likes to beat the car to ****. I believe that if you treat the car with respect and care, you'll receive the same in return.

The rotary is just a big mystery to me. Just asking for some guidance and wisdom.

No offense, but it has been given. Read the stickies and the links provided. All your questions will be answered from reputable sources, instead of piecemeal replies to a thread from everyone under the sun...

funny how you quoted me with something i didn't say.

Much respect to the people who gave answers to my newb questions rather than flaming.

scotty305 - You misrepresent RX-7 owners. All the supra owners said that RX-7 owners are dicks. I'm guessing they met you.

RIGHT...

Look, you're number 857 of the people who have come here and asked these questions....they've all been answered before many, many times. The problem is that you don't want to actually do any work to find your answers, you just want them spoonfed to you. Try going on the Supra forums and post the same questions -- I'm betting your response won't be as kind as the one you've been given here.

The FD is not for you. If you can't put in a little bit of effort to research basic buying questions, then you don't have what it takes, plain and simple. These cars can be royal pains-in-the-*** to own sometimes and really take a higher level of commitment than most sports cars.

I compiled 90% of the links at the FAQ page, and dgeesaman wrote out the questions & answers part. All the info you're looking for is in there. If you can't do your own research, you've got no hope troubleshooting the RX-7's complicated twin-turbo control system. Besides that, you mentioned power before handling; Supra.


So tell the Supra boys that we're only dicks if you keep asking dumb questions after we've politely answered two pages worth. And don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Well don't misrepresent newbies. There is a rumor they refuse to read the FAQ sticky and run searches even when it's been pointed out to them. It should take a good day or two to get through the information in there that's relevant to you.

The bottom line is simple: you don't have any goals for the car that you can state, heck I didn't even catch if you need it for a daily driver. But the FD is not for everyone, and it's maintenance hassles are certainly not for everyone. It's not that you have to have rotary experience (I didn't, most of us didn't) but you have to want to buy a high maintenance car and learn about it (or substitute lots of money and a good rotary mechanic). Since you haven't been clear on that issue, I can't recommend it. It would be like steering you toward a bad relationship on purpose.

That's a two way street. Rather than calling people names, show some respect by reading the stickies that have been suggested to you.... multiple times. Then go borrow the money from Daddy and buy your Supra.

How old are you? My 19 year old brother is scared of the 7's power. And it only has a couple power mods. He says it begs to be pushed hard and flogged like the bad little girl she is, but he's afraid he doesn't have the skill to keep her reigned in. He's right. The RX-7 is not a beginner's car. I think special liscencing should be required just to own a stock one.
