G'day all

i just bought an '84 s3 RX7 with a stock 12A init. I had just enough money to put a full 2 1/2 inch exhaust in.

what can i do now? I'm thinking one of those ramflo filters. anything at all?

played with the timing a little on mine, i'm running 0L and 10T, it made a nice difference. if you go to about 3btdc L and 7 T it makes a little more high end.

i also just put a fuel pressure regulator in, i'm running about 1.5psi according to the guage, it helped the midrange a bit.

my goal is about 110 at the wheels with the stock muffler

There's not alot of things you can do "CHEAP" to these cars. A good tune up will help some. As stated before, a K&N and some kind of custom airbox will give you a little more performance.

To really get performance, your gonna have to spend some cash. Get a header. Makes all the difference in the world. That's where I started on mine, many moons ago.

header is the best thing right now, stock manifold is very poor flowing design
