93 RX7, a couple questions

I noticed on my car that the drivers side door panel and the passenger side door panel are two different styles. Is it supposed to be that way, or do I have door panels from two different years?

Also, how much HP/TQ will the stock trans, driveshaft, rear end, axles, everything like that, take before it needs upgrading?

It is like that. Driver and passenger side are different.

Plenty but it also depends on the driver and how hard they are on the drivetrain. The trans starts showing stress at power levels around 450 HP or so. Usually 3rd gear is what goes when rolling onto power. The driveshaft is not a weak point. The diff internals themselves are pretty good but the diff housing and axles can be issues - especially w/ drag race type starts. When drag racing, the first thing to break is the diff housing, followed by the PPF or axles partially due to shock.


Spend some time reading the 3rd gen FAQ to learn more about the car:
