i say basic maintenance is first....make sure motor is running with NO problems before u mod it much, turbo timer is helpful, but not a must.Originally Posted by h22racer

A good mechanic and/or a repair manual... ha.
buy a petit aluminum ast ( air seperator tank ) basically it's like a coolant resivoir. those cars are easy to make fast but hard to keep cool, before i did hp mods i'd first get a better radiator. on some forums you'll see people say to run all the same plugs....my bro tried that on his fd and it fouled em out. Mazda designed the car to run with these plugs for leading and these plugs for trailing for a reason. when you start messing with shit that doesn't make sense to you....you're bound to have problems. buy a set of plugs and wires and make sure you don't put em back together backwards or upside down etc ( a lot of people do that ). then buy an extra set of plugs and always keep em in the glove box with the sockets you need to change em on the flywhatever you do don't half ass the car. besides the ast, radiator, plugs and wires, whatever else you do to the car have all the parts all at once and get it professionally tuned right away. my bro still got $9500 for his fd with a chipped apex seal though LOL. so if you fuck up your car it's still worth some money HAHAHA.
hahah yeah i plan to do it all right no matter how long or how much money but yeah ive never owned a turbo car so just tryin to figure out stuff on them first. yeah i plan to fix up the cooling and saftey shit before upgrding performance. im gettin it dec-or jan so im tryin to learn about them. thanks a lot thoughbuy a petit aluminum ast ( air seperator tank ) basically it's like a coolant resivoir. those cars are easy to make fast but hard to keep cool, before i did hp mods i'd first get a better radiator. on some forums you'll see people say to run all the same plugs....my bro tried that on his fd and it fouled em out.

wow double whammy...buying a turbo car and to top it off, a rotary.
good luck with it thought...rx-7s are cool cars but a lot of work. just basically do as everyone said and do all the maintanence first. inspect the rats nest of vacum lines for any deteriorating lines...zip ties are your friend. the rats nest of vacum lines isn't that bad once you look at it...the lines are pretty much bent to the location they are suppose to go.
As an RX-7 owner I say maintenance first, then reliability mods, and lastly, performance. go to rx7club and you will definitely find the info you are looking for.
