lsd or welded diff. coilovers. strut/sway bars all around. rims u dont care about. tires you dont like. dtss eliminator bushings. bushings in general. <stage 2 clutch and pressure plate.

since you have a na.....some power would be nice too.
at least - intake. exhaust. upgraded cooling system. some aftermarket gauges to know when your cars gonna blow up. some kind of fuel control would probly be nice as well.

i dont drift....autocross is better for a car that your gonna drive on the road. but those are the upgrades i can think of

lsd, coilovers, dtss eliminators. same as every other car.

although intake/header/exhaust would definately help. or like, a turbo swap. lol

From wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazda_RX-7

"Mazda also introduced Dynamic Tracking Suspension System (DTSS)in the 2nd generation RX-7. The revised independent rear suspension incorporated special toe control hubs which were capable of introducing a limited degree of passive rear steering under cornering loads."
