Take a look around at our sponsors, exhaust/pulleys/intake are the basic cheap go fast mods. RacingBeat makes nice exhaust, rx7.com sells pulleys, and you can pick up a k/n intake off ebay for like $50.

I have never understood why people who are on a budget, look for body kits

it seems to me that a body kit is the most expensive thing you could buy for a car, outside of some Uber turbo setup, why not spend that money on some decent suspension mods, Exhuast, intake, maybe some pineapple sleeves, unless you are trying to make a slow show car

Body kits are for high budget racers, or Show cars.

Take it easy on the guy... he probably read through Super Street or whatever and wants a good looking F&F import. Its easier for most people to look at something and say "I want that, that looks good" rather than, "I wonder what a set of sway bars and headers will do to that" because a lot of people don't take the time to read or understand what makes cars perform.



I think this especially sucks for the RX7 community since there are so many cheap FC's available that will be bought, beat on, and likely end up smashed or in a junkyard IMO. Some random guy emailed me that was looking around on this site who had just bought an NA FC. All he wanted to know was would he be able to beat this list of cars. I told him his FC will be lucky to run a low 16 second 1/4 and he wanted to sell it right away.



Ok, I'm babbling... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
