Dont pay for '99spec tails. There is a DIY mod out there for it. As far as the 99spec lip i got mine from rx-7store.net. For a new one Jason was the cheapest I could. Be advised though, alot of people have had problems with rx-7store.net and its owner. Personally I have been dealing with him for years and hes never fucked me, but just a heads up.



Exhaust depends entirely on what kinda sound you want. I'm using the Border Burnout exhaust but its very rare, very expensive, and very very loud.



Intake wise for the stock twins I like the systems that use an enclosed airbox. BOV wise I'm partial to the Tial and TurboXS ones.



You asked a very opened question and there are 10 million options out there.

i know i did haha, im trying to see what people have done and what works out good for them. thanks for the input i will surely take it into consideration. i was going to go with rx-7store.net for the front lip. they seem to price the tails pretty high so i will be looking into the mod. thanks for that tip. as far as exhaust i dont want it to be any louder than it is, mainly performance only. a little louder is fine seeing as there will be much more airflow and it will most likely be louder no matter what i do to it. could you send me a link to the BOVs you are talking about? also should i consider having my turbos rebuilt with ballbearings?

Thats the tail light mod. If you havent found that site yet....bookmark it.

I dont know if Tial has their own site or not. Maybe someone else does.



As far as exhaust goes, this should get you started.

And I agree with rfreeman, keep her stock, it will last longer.

im keeping it stock to an extent. intake and exhaust are all im really considering doing to the car. roughly 300 horse is plenty enough for me. of course i will replace all the maintenance parts and do some cleaning up in the engine. after all the car is 11 years old and god knows what the previous owners maintained. although the car runs fine there are some bushings and gaskets, etc id like the replace.
