I am Richard, live in Los Angele, CA. I just bought my dream car 93 RX7 R1!!!
I am so excited to have the car ship to me, that means I did not see the car yet.
I have owned 96 Mitsubish Elipse GSX with Veilside, 97 MBZ E420 AMG, 02 BMW 745i with 20", 03 MBZ E55, 06 MBZ CLS 55, 06 BMW 650i Conv with SMG, and 01 GMC Sierra 3500 6.0.
This will be the car that I will keep it forever to have fun with it!
My skill level is to replace motor mount level,,,,,,
Anyway, I got so many questions and things to learn from you guys.

BTW, what do you think about my new ride?
1993 twin turbo rx-7
The car has a new mazda oem re-manufactured motor with unbreakable ALS seals, new oem turbos, new suspension, and new transmission, put in (all with only 5k miles driven on them currently)

ALL PUT IN AT MAZDA BY MAZDA PROFESSIONALS
THE BODY HAS 144k on it- NO ROT OR RUST, FRAME IS THE CLEANEST YOU WILL FIND

IT WAS TAKEN FOR MAINTENANCE AT MAZDA OVER IT'S LIFETIME SEE PICS FOR PILE OF RECEIPTS

ALSO NEW BATTERY WAS PUT IN

TURBOS RUNNING ON STOCK TUNE




I am the second owner to this car

The first owner was an elderly lady

I have the window sticker, manual, all original stuff etc

The car was never beaten on

CLEAN CAR FAX-NO ACCIDENTS




THERE ARE NO LEAKS, AC BLOWS ICE COLD, CAR SHIFTS AND RUNS AMAZING, HAS BRAND NEW TIRES 95% tread

Interior is in fantastic shape NO RIPS OR CRACKS, minor fading on steering wheel.


Did I make right decision?

What is next step?
I used to have Eclipse Turbo, so I know that I need Exhuast, Intakes, BOV for sure. Do I better have manifold also?
Can I use ones that are on Ebay?
How about coil over or springs only because the car has new suspensions already.

Thanks!

 

Have you ever though of adopting a Moderator??...
Welcome to the Forum!..Dad!..lol!

(can I borrow the car?)

 

Do you know how to drive a stick shift? Kk,,,,,,

 

I have belly button lint older than the first Rx7..!.I think I can handle a manual..(chuckle!!!)..
It's like a tractor..right???????..

 

OK, you have been qualified for the first stage, "How to drive a RX7." !!!

Anyway, I need some opinions:

1. The ALS seals has been changed. Is that mean Apex seals?
2. What is the most important thing to do to FD when you see a fully stock FD. I mean what do I have to do for the reliable street moded FD Turbo, such as air intakes, BOV, Manifold, Exhaust, Rims,,,,,,
3. The previous owner got new shocks with new pillow mounts 5000 miles ago, but I want to have FD lowered. What do you recomend, coilover or springs. What brand and model are you recomending?
4. Do I really need a turbo timer? I had the turbo timer when I was driving my Eclipse GSX.
5. Stock rims and tire set up is good or do I need to swap those with 17 or 18? What size are better? Can I put a spacer to the stock rim to get better looking offset? How big of the spacers do I have to use?
6. Can you please recomend me brand and model for:
Air Intakes
BOV
Manifold
Exhaust

When I see your engine set up, that is the one that I want to show on mine. That is why I am bugging you, sir.

Thanks!!!

 

Enjoy the FD first, get acquainted with it. Learn and understand how it reacts and handles.

 

gold rfp1 wheels! and go wide dont do the spacers for look.. just my 2 cents

 

I forgot about the basic. You are right.
Thanks for the heads up!!!

 

What size are you recomending?
Thanks.

 

Welcome man

 

Nice. Wish i could get me an FD :/ maybe one day
