I'm new to the whole 3rd gen RX7 scene and people keep refering to "reliability mods". I know the 3rd gen RX7's can have some major reliability issues. What can I do to make it more reliable? What specific sort of mods are these "reliablity mods"?



Thanks,



John Magnuson

aluminum AST, new radiator, silicon hoses, downpipe.



put your location in your profile so we know where you are from, and good luck with your FD3S

Aluminum AST and the downpipe for sure. If your not having problems with the sequential system then don't mess with the silicone hoses. If you don't know your having problems, then get a boost gauge.

i go against the grain, i like the stock ast's, the metal ones corrode around where the radiator cap seats
