fast can have more than one meaning you know, in autocross your car will be faster if you have suspension stuff done, in drag your car will be faster if you go more power, it all depends. Then again IMO if ou want to drag you have the wrong car. Drag racing well requires torque, NA rotarys do not haev it.

Not with the stock engine they sure don't. Start with suspension. Not just the fact that you can take turns better, but you can stop better. If you want to go faster, you gotta be able to stop.

Suspension

I vote for the header, with the presilencer if you want to keep it reasonably quiet. I have to disagree with the people that would suggest suspension upgrades on a street-driven RX-7. With decent tires and shocks, this car already handles superbly. If you're not going to be autocrossing the car, why bother?



Address the car's weaknesses. Where do you feel that your car needs improvement?

I was saying adjustable shocks and some lowering springs. Not go all out and replace EVERYTHING.

Loud is also in the ears of the beholder.

Very true. My T2 is 3" pipe from turbo back to a 3" Borla XR-1 straight-through muffler and it isn't loud.
