What next?
 

Hey guys, Im just wondering what your guys opions are of what I should get next...I just got my engine rebuilt like 400 miles ago, i have a pfc, high-flow cat, dp, apexi intakes, metal ast, and im going to be getting my racing beat cb in in a couple weeks...so what would you guys add next, im looking for reliablity parts rather than trying to make alot of hp gain...so what would you guys do....all opions would be appreciated!

-Thank, Justin

One would presume that you took care of a lot of maintenance issues when you had the motor pulled and replaced (new hoses, new lines, new radiator, etc).

I would focus on making sure the braking and suspension systems are functioning 100% (replace worn bushings, etc). After that, just drive the damn thing. You could always get a better intercooler to reduce stress on the turbos and cool the air further.

If you are looking to spend money, do a search on "reliability mods" and see what you haven't done. Is your PFC tuned? That would be a great way to spend a little money if it isn't.

Come to the meet here in Columbus on 7/7/07 and you will get plenty of ideas. I'd let to try and have everyone in the state make it. PM me for details.

I have a set of Tokico Illumina's w/ springs coming in next week from another forum member and yes my pfc is getting mapped @ the rx-7 store in columbus. Also, my brakes are becoming squeky so ill prolly upgrade in a month or so. Do you think i should upgrade the fuel pump or fuel system and/or get a ebc?

Unfourtently, I already have plans for that week. Ill be in Savannah, GA...I would love to come but I dont think its gonna happen...but if any other meets come up, ill def. be there! I just really wanna learn everything I can about rx-7s and rotaries in general...I dont wanna be one of those kids thats thinks they know everything and not build my car the [Right] way.

put a ls1 in it, and no seals will blow.

if you plan to up the boost i would recomend doing the fuel system... pump. injectors

Here are a few ideas from the FAQ:

Personally, I'd get a fresh set of tires, a radiator, catch up on maintenance (new filters, belts, hoses, spark plugs & wires), and maybe a lightweight battery also.
