Nice Vids!

I checked out the site and the vids.

Sweet RX-7.

I am working right now on my project car.

It is an '89 RX-7 Turbo II...I am working on getting it up to a good 400 HP through turbo upgrades and such.

You guys seem to know a lot about customizing...where are you located? It'd be nice to sit and BS with ya for a while about mods.

Some guy I was toying with the other day said "F*** You" haha...most guys just tell me "Nice Car!" and thats it...ah well...always end up with a couple ******** on the road...just have to tell them to "suck yer *****" eh?

Dammit, my RealPlayer can't seem to play .mpg's? Is there an upgrade or something for the RealPlayer? Or what do I need to see these vids?

PraxRX7- Me and my buddy (the guy in the videos) have our own shop located in Doylestown, PA. About 40min north east of Phileadelphia. Id be happy to answer any questions you might have about gettin your car around 400hp.

RX7_RCR- I play them off of Windows MediaPlayer, so download that if you dont have it already.

Those videos are a few months old now, im surprised they came up again, since then we both have upgraded our turbos, manifolds, and fuel. Hopefully we will have some more updated videos soon.

Could I get a list of stuff that you did from Stock?

I don't know much about modifications...but I need some pointers.

It looks like you removed your power steering, ABS, air pump, and other stuff that I can't identify.

If you could tell me what you removed and the downsides to it (I know the upsides) that would be great.

I want to have my car fully modified to 350-400 rwHP by summer 2002, but knowing where to start is a pain in the butt...especially when I decided that I am doing all the work myself and only getting technical help where it is required. (Also what kind of PSI are you running with what kind of seals?)

I want to be able to run 12-15psi for normal driving with the option to boost it up to 25psi on the fly...

I will probably need new manifold, injectors, ECU standalone-reprogramable, turbo, exhaust, wastegate, intercooler, new rad and oil coolers to help with cooling,.

I am learning a lot, but there is so much more for me to learn before I am ready to start ripping things out and bolting things on.
