As of right now, keep it as stock as possible so I don't void the warranty. Afterwards, I'll probably drop a turbo kit in there. I'd like to get my 1988 RX-7 all fixed up and everything first, so I don't have projects just piling up

Good question, looks fine to me

Details are minimal. It's relatively stock but a cone intake installed by PO. Fuel Cut Defender on there, and the boost up'd .5 psi. Nothing really extravagant. I plan on Getting it rebuilt with a streetport, and get the wastegate ported so I can possibly get up to 9PSI. Nothing SUPER fast, but fast enough for me :p

Man, these things are such a freaking blast to drive. I had such a blast test driving it, then when I got the key to the car, and shook the guys hand...I was in complete disbelief. Awe even. I was smiling ear to ear the entire way home. Just such an awesome feeling car. Other than a few imperfections with the interior, and the discolored bumper I guess, it's pretty solid car. BIG <3's.

I gotta tell you that you MUST get some clears on that thing though! It won't void the warranty and you will be gald you did. Click my link in my signature for some pics and you decide...............but clears FTW!

You can still do mods without voiding your warrenty. They can only void it if the part was an evident cause of the failure. For instance, you get new wheels and an apex seal goes bad. Not gonna void your warrenty.
