Once you have a strong running, solid stock car then you have a solid base to modify on. My first mods would be any free mods (TB mod/port etc). Then I'd probably do the TID mod (removes the airbox, but its not completely an air intake). Look into exhaust systems and pickup a Fuel Cut Defender (FCD).
thats the general "first steps" to addiction...err modification.
but another little phrase for ya:
building an rx7 is like building a house, you must start with a solid foundation.

I totaly agree, this is why i woudl no be modifing it much at all.
I just figured that if i were to replace something in the car why not replace it with something better than stock?
I have heared from alot of people that the HKS SSQ is a good unit, but lately i have heared of people having problems with them. What is the problem with the unit??
I ordered new engine mounts and will install on wendsday. It shoudl help the vibration alot. I may also get the oil filter pedistal gaskets to fix the oil leak i have. All depends on how much money i get.
Also, how much woudl i be looking at for the hoses that go to the heater core, as they have a white residue on the exterior of the hoses and i dont want to lose a hose and destroy the engine.

My problem with the HKS SSQV is simply the type of BOV it is. Internally it uses a rubber "diaphragm" my diaphragm exploded inside the BOV while driving.
almost cost me my turbo.
I like the simplicity of the TurboXS RFL that i have now, most people think i have it just cause its loud, but honestly i feel it is the least likely to fail on me like the HKS unit did since its simply a spring, a cylinder inside a cylinder, and a vacuum line. its simple and effective.

OK so i should mabe be looking at another BOV.
What about a greddy type-s? I know they dont come with an adapter flange to run them resurculated tho. So id have to fab one or order one.
