intake exhaust. good luck because rx7 performance aint cheap at all, and upgrading a NA to satisfy your needs is harder than a turbo.

start with a full tuneup and change all fluids

get an exhaust system, and please note that that does NOT merely mean "ungodly large mufflers or tips" - get a system.

get good brakes!!!! (lines, pads, fluid and tires)

search for any intake and throttle body mods you can find

tighten up any slop you can find (i.e. motor/transmission mounts, suspension)

clean the engine (Amsoil Powerfoam or equivalent)

lightweight flywheel

should result in an appreciably different car.

I just received my RB header, Bonez cat, and Rotary Performance cat back system. as a kit it cost about $900. I wont be able to install it for a month or so, but while I was at it I wanted to match port the intake. Any links and vivid instructions for the throttle body and manifold? What about the 5th and 6th port sleeves? What gives on those? Modify, take out, or replace with upgraded?
