By the way i am new to the Rot's but i am having alot of fun reading up on them. The rx7s i just never really knew how much potential they have. I always whipped up fast crx's lol...now i found something with TORQUE! lol...haha I would also be down on some of the meetings you guys have and cook out seems like a lot of fun

there is plenty of stuff for a 2nd gen car. Im not sure what is all available since I am a 1st gen guy. I hate to tell you to do a search but thats probably your best bet. I know that you can do a K&N filter and an exhaust system and that should help a bunch. Other than that, no idea.

Thanks

Yea man thanks ... yea i have done some search on stuff... i am still learning the navigation through the forums and stuff... but i am sure a exhaust system would help a ton on them cars. I really want a turbo 13b in my car that would be great. I pry need to get a good suspension setup with adjustable shocks, and stuff like that... to help with the sway in cornering.

Also you could PM Sesshoumaru or E Dogg. Jason (Sesshoumaru) knows a lot of stuff about turbo cars and does pretty nice work from what I have seen/heard about. If you talk to Eric (E Dogg) dont mention car insurance lol.

I sent him a message to ask him if he could give me some insight on the 13b Turbo ...so when is the next meeting? i am really interested and maybe joining to get to know some Roto heads and learn something... i am learning slowly, i just have to get confortable with them you know? I know its a learning process... that is cool to see alot of Iowa kids rocking the Rx7s that look sweet... i hope to have a decently looking one after i am done learning everything.

Steve's reputation speaks for itself. It shouldn't take much research to find that he knows what he's doing.

I have first gen parts mainly. My neighbor, 7droptop has some 2nd gen stuff. I have been to a few of the iowa meets and keep in touch with some of the people local and some people not so local.
