Hey guys Im looking for some cheap and quick power mods for my rx7. its a 83 1.1 lol duh with the 5 speed. Im already looking into a exhaust for it. Looking at a header and flow through exhaust. if there is anything i can do to ignition or to the carb or exoust options to consider that would be awsome. thanks in advance

I've got a Holley carb on a Racing Beat manifold and a Racing Beat header with a full custom exhaust and I love it. It's loud, but it runs well, and gets up and moves when I tell it to.
Search for some used stuff. I got my header for $190 shipped, my manifold for $150 shipped, and my carb for $120 shipped. Pieced the exhaust together from some pre-mandrel-bent pipe from eBay. I've got maybe $600 in mods.

exhaust first, header plus 2.5" back, with no other mods besides tuning will get you in the 115-120rwhp area.
intake+carb work too, there were tons of different systems made for the 12a, so theres a lot of used stuff out there.
stock ignition is good, an msd box is better

i see would it be any use fule to have one on the trailing or just a wast for street applications??
Im also looking into a possible turbo but it might be a little out of my leaque at the moment. but is a possibility. For extertior mods im looking into the Mariah Motorsports body kits which are sweet.
