Im a new owner of a 93' Black/Red 5pd Touring. Summer is on its way and that means extra cash, and I was wondering what should be my first few mods?

I have a 4yr unlimited mile warranty on my car , so not everything needs to be reliability mods (also the owner said he put a DP on it but forgot the brand). I also live outside Dallas, Tx so it gets up to 104 during the summer. Dont include suspension mods because I allready have a deal on some coilovers comming to me this fall.
Lets see, lets set the limit of spending in mods for the summer roughly 4K. Thanks alot fella's.

No one is going to answer your thread. There is a wealth of information out there about what steps to take to mod your car. Search and read.

so what if it had an unlimted mile warrenty.... that dosent mean go out and beat it up...


First mod i woud do i upgrade the radiator. you live in
*******-gets-hot-vill USA. Flush the coolant and do like 25-75 mix and some water wetter...

You have enough to get all the bolt ons which would give you a pretty nice amount of power to play with.

You need to read this since you are a n00b. Its mandatory for all first time posters.

As said above, warranties don't mean ****, especially if you are modding your car.

i would do the radiator, and then do the full exhaust and the intake. And then you can ask me more. That is what i started with downpipe, mid pipe, and cat back, and then the intake and radiator.

everything
just get it all down with

Mid Pipe is a no no without an ECU and boost controller,

There is no easier way to pop your motor then by putting one of these on.

ha I was waiting for a lecture, but I got what I wanted. It may be me but I cant seem to ever come across the info that Im actually looking for when I search these forums.
Believe me, Im registered to many other boards and I know this is just about of a common question of how many pistons does a rotary use?
But I got what I wanted and that was specific links...Thanks alot for your replies

(P.S. I dont intend on beating the **** out of any car I own, but everyone tells me somthing diffrent on how to mod the car (comming from fellow Rx7 owners) and then another will say thats a bad idea)

You don't need an ECU for a midpipe but you atleast need a good boost controller. With a Blitz SBC-iD and 2.5 inch restrictor plate I get perfect 10-8-10 boost pattern. I have no fuel mods whatsoever and the car runs fine.

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the midpipe? Why bother doing stuff to let you build more boost and then just cap it off, would be like adding 20lb of weight to the car for every rwhp you gain.

Black97VR4

A buddy and I are both running full exhaust with no ECU upgrades and doing fine. If you can control your boost to 10psi then you are fine.

I'm not trying to sound like a smartass at all but until you try a setup and see how it works then you shouldn't say it won't work. Because I've noticed quite a few people who are running full exhaust without an ECU upgrade without any problems as long as they keep the boost in check.

I hope you know your warrenty company is gonna have no problem telling you to fix it yourself, as soon as they see one mod on it.

lol sorry bro, Im a guy. Im using my girlfriends user name because for awhile she was looking into getting an FD and asked me "What would be a good way to learn alot about them?" and I setup her an account here. BUT she ended up going w/ a Turbo SW20 instead for her lack of rotary knowledge and I ended up getting the FD.
I have registered a username on here, but ****** it wont send me a email to clarrify my account so that I can post!

if i were you id pull out the thermostat. or get a 180 degree stat, run 50/50 mix of water wetter and distiled water. apexi front mount intercooler to cool the intake charge and rap your downpipe.
