Just got an 87 rx n/a all stock. Any suggestions on what mods would be good to start with.

thanks

Any recommended exhaust system would be nice. Do they make a true dual?



Thanks

Heres RBs true dual system, not street legal.

Click on the road race system.

Your intake and exhaust are the first things you should do as they give you the most gain without any work.

If thats what youre looking for.

Heres the FAQ which im sure has most of your answers.

Thanks man

Anyone have any other recommended mods other then exhaust specific parts with advice and/or review.



Thanks

start with a good exhaust system, use 87 octane, and put a K&N cone type filter on.

Lightweight flywheel, clutch (might as well do it while your in there), remove power steering and AC. All I can think of, anything more isnt going to give you that much of a gain until you start going into a ported motor and such.

Do the simple stuff first. Plugs, high performance wires, cold air intake, exhaust like everyone else is saying and get the suspension dialed in. Springs shocks and swaybars will not only make the car look better, but also make it a lot more fun to drive even without any power upgrades.

There is also the throttle body mod.

You could do some suspension, may not make you faster in a straight line but maybe through the corners.

Full tune up. Coolant flush, belts, brakes, brake fluid, diff flush and refill, fuel filter. Check all wiring harness connections also. These cars are old and everything gets brittle after a while.



Congrats also and welcome to the forum! Oh yeah, don't buy ANYTHING pacesetter.

Thought of another one. Lightwieght hood.



I know some of those NA stock hoods are pretty heavy. Anything that is noticeably lighter will in turn make your car a little faster. And like everyone else is say, do the reliability stuff first. Belts, ALL hoses, ALL fluids, wires, plugs, etc. When I bought my TII it was in VERY rough shape. Looked as though teh car hadnt had any TLC since it left the lot. Now it is nearly back to its original condition.

fix evrything broken or worn out do a 70k tune up, you know basic mecanichs the stuff that should be done befor performance is done. Rebuild the motor.

Yeah definatly planned on maintenance first and then start the mods but not to sure I wanna start mods on this N/A 'cause I plan on just swapping a TII. So probably just basics and what not and suspension stuff that wont be removed in the swap.



And thanks for the welcome, and yes no pacesetter https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif
