hi i just got a '88 rx7 its in great condition. i want to do a few mods first im getting a new paint job but i dont know what to do after that i was thinkin cold air intake or something small like that or maybe a new exahuast any ideas?

 

What are your goals with the car? Turbo or NA?

 

well its an 88' and its just getting older.... the engine has been rebuilt twice and i have a new suspension and tires... but i am only 17 its my first car so its pretty much there to get me to college and back. soo i dont have a lot of money lol. so yeah prolly not a turbo yet how much do you have to do to the engine first before you can put in a turbo?... any other sugestions?

 

the best thing for you would be (i dont know what the laws are like where you are as im scottish and we dont have any) de-cat it, get an APEXi power fc or a stand alone engine management system that will keep any future mods working together. you can get a Power FC from www.nengun.com at a reasonable price. that will give you the option for future mods like injectors and the like and the decat pipe will give you more power (around 10-15hp) for little cash. hopw that helps but im not to sure about N/A cars as i have only ever had turbo's so dont burn me if this is wrong.

 

Honestly if you don't have any money, then an intake and exhaust is probably what you should do.

Find a good local shop to make you the exhaust and then do the intake yourself.

A standalone is a $1000+ investment and crazy to do as a first mod.

 

Definitely have to with him on this. Or if you have a friend who welds you can always just do everything yourself. I have a standalone and they are really nice to have but talk about $$$$$. Something to look forward to in the future but if money is tight just go with the exhaust and intake.
