Not really a newbie...but I should say hi!
Hey guys,
I guess it's about time I stepped up and said hello to everyone on the forum. I have been on here for a little while now, and I have owned my JDM RX-7 for almost 2 years now. I work for Burlington Mazda (Burlington, Ontario, Canada) as a service writer, and parts person. All the mechanics constantly rip on me for driving "rotary junk". It's all good though, because of the "fast" cars on the lot, My 7 smokes them all - with ease. My manager has a Greddy supercharged 2002 Toyota Celica, and the next best is a 1995 Acura Integra GSR with a Jackson racing blower in it. My 7 has a few tricks too. I have all the info at the ""my Garage link above.
So far, I want to ditch the sintered iron double disc clutch that is in my car, and install a quality, high performance OEM style clutch. The problem with the double disc is that it has a loud chirp every time you let off. I have had a few transmission guys look at it, and they all said that it is "normal" for a clutch like this...
As far as aesthetics go, I would like to paint the car white. No stickers or body kits, just a clean white coat of paint with a 1999 spec front end. I also want to get a set of 4300K HID lights, because the stockers suck. Just for the record, I hate the "rice blue" 6000, 8000 and 10000K HID lamps.
With performance in mind, I plan to go for a small single turbo with hopes of hitting the 380 - 400RWHP mark.

On a side note, the FB is being rebuilt this winter, and will probably get 50,000 before it pops. Stock port S5 tII, big injectors, RTek ECU, A-Spec GT35R turbo, FMIC, QTec cutout (side exit).
As soon as first frost, I start work.
