TX Jonathan - new member in Northwest Houston

Hi everyone! I've had my 1993 RX-7 touring edition since 1999. I'm a lifetime customer of Rotary Performance in Garland although I can't get over to them much since moving to Northwest Houston in 2006. The RX-7 is my toy but also my daily driver. My wife doesn't like driving it, and that is fine by me!


It's got a black exterior and tan interior, still stock rims. I fully restored the exterior and interior in 2005, and before that put in a rebuilt motor in 2004 both to improve performance, extend longevity, and fix air and fluid leaks. It looks mostly like a new stock RX-7 but I have changed the following over the years:
  • Apexi PowerFC installed and tuned by Rotary Performance (best money I've ever spent on the RX-7 without a question!!!!)
  • Fully restored exterior and interior in 2005 (won best interior at 2006 Quad State Rotary BBQ )
  • Rebuilt motor by Rotary Performance in 2004
  • Restored the factory seats with Tan Katzkin branded Italian leather
  • RP Competition fuel pump
  • Yokohama AVES ES100 245x45WR16 tires
  • Alpine CD headunit and external amplifier
  • Infinity front and rear speakers (replaced map pockets with 6x9 factory grilles and mounts)
  • Infinity 10" servo-controlled subwoofer where the driver's side storage bin used to be
  • Tokiko Illumina 5-way adjustible shocks
  • Suspension Specialties springs (too low sometimes but I like it)
  • Factory R1 front strut brace
  • Factory R1 front spoiler
  • Cross drilled & slotted brake rotors
  • Bonez stainless downpipe and performance converter system (I'm on my second converter now)
  • RSR dualtip catback exhaust
  • Apex SuperIntake system
  • C-West fresh air headlight cover
  • Fluidyne performance radiator
  • Aluminum air separator tank
  • Keyless entry & factory alarm system
  • Mazdaspeed leather shifter ****
  • Katzkin leather shifter boot, parking brake handle, and parking brake boot
  • Earmark Formula One Millenium/Ultimate tinted windows
  • Factory cargo net (I think it adds 10rwhp )
I'd love to get the Efini twin turbos and an intercooler...and do more performance driving events. But family and job and home remodeling have been keeping me from doing as much as I would like to with that.

Best regards,
Jonathan

TX additional mods

Oh yeah--I also forgot to mention that I did the temperature gauge linearization (http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/G...structions.pdf) and did my own '99 taillight conversion (http://www.jsott.com/rx-7/lights/).
