New FD3S

Just bought a new RX7 today for 1000.

I live in Japan, so I figured hey wtf, i could get alot of JDM parts for it while im here and make this my baby..

Anybody got any ideas of what to buy first? What to avoid? Best/Bad Companies for certain parts..

FYI, its twin turbo 5 spd.
aftermarket exhaust. (cat back)

thats how i bought it.

appreciate the help, Rotor Noob here.

Start by reading the 3rd gen FAQ thread

https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/faq-3rd-gen-other-useful-links-68640/

Your question is too open ended. Narrow it down to specific parts and brands and you might get some decent feedback.

Awesome. Can't wait to see it.

BTW: Don't write it on the body/paint. It may scratch it. :p

By chance, are you an american hoping to bring it back to the states you'll want to look into to how that goes before spending a bunch of money on it. Importing a JDM FD does not usually go well.
