top 10 mods

If you could start all over again with a brand new STOCK rx-7, what would be your first 10 performance mods in order, without going into the motor or replacing the turbos?

1- Mazdaspeed DP
2- Mazdaspeed AST
3- Efini Y pipe
4- Mazdaspeed Radiator
5- Mazdaspeed Sport Exhaust
6- Mazdaspeed SMIC
7- Mazdaspeed CF intake
8- Mazdaspeed PPF
9- Mazdaspeed coilovers
10- Mazdaspeed Brake upgrade

If I could add a full 99 spec upgrade to the car that'd be all for me. Nice sporty mods while keeping the car in it's mostly original form would seem ideal for me. Helps to maintain it's value and using a few of the obvious helps maintain reliability.

ok, so since I posted here before, I guess I will list my top 10. Be warned though, I am feeling a little punchy this morning.

1. daily driver
2. second job
3. savings account (for money from 2nd job)
4. AAA membership
5. sugar mamma
6. punching bag (for those frustrating times..)
7. spare engine (maybe this one doesnt qualify exactly?)
8. GT or Forza (depending on your preference) so I can "drive" my car when I can't "drive" my car...
9. extra soft tissues (so I dont get "red nose" from crying over the CC bills)
10. a forum that doesnt go down like a vietnamese hooker....


Ok the last one was a joke!!!! I would go insane if this forum wasnt around.

Its gonna be an interesting day I think.

That's only if I could have a choice. Of course I don't have any of that stuff, but a PPF would be nice Most aftermarket parts outperforms all of that stuff anyways.

If your doing all those mods, why buy lowering springs when you can just cut them
