Mine cost me like $240 or something including a Magnaflow muffler at Sidney Tire in Parksville. They did a good job! I fully recommend this mod, it makes your car loud and sound good, and there's a quite noticeable difference in power. Make sure you ask for 2.5" pipe, and you'll probably need to talk the guy who does it through first. It took me about five minutes to explain that I didn't want any cats. ;) Definitely do it, cheap and effective!

yeah thats right.. ill edit that now.. bastards..

hey Timpo stop posting stuff like rx7 rocks or rx7 rules every post.. cuz we cant postwhore that much and cant catch up to you.. so we cant have a non rx7 driver leading this thread in posts! so stop postwhoreing or go buy another 3rd gen! If you want another turbo rx7 let me know and I can find you lots of really nice ones!

You're a moderator there?Cool.

jeffraider 09-29-2003 03:21 PM

I wouldn't mind moving it to BCRX7 but their servers are somewhat dodgy sometimes.

NanaimoRx-7 09-29-2003 05:34 PM

I'd move this thread to BCRX7 myself but I'm kinda tired. What with being up all night jacking D4's rims.

Ramcon 09-29-2003 05:39 PM

Rim Jacker!

NanaimoRx-7 09-29-2003 06:33 PM

OH HELL YA !!!! Went down to Lordco today and picked up my Tokico (Taquito?) BLUES Sweeeeet. My extra set of strut housings are at the shop down the road having the struts and Racing Beat Springs installed. Shoul be ready for pickup tommorow. Then I just gotta find a little spare time to do the install and BAAAAAAAAAAM. Suspension swap done. Only took 2 fucking years.

BC-X 09-29-2003 06:48 PM

straight pipe is sounding like a pretty good idea to me now.. until headers..
Maybe get that done with my clutch.. hmmm.

Timpo 09-29-2003 06:52 PM

ROTARY!

Timpo 09-30-2003 06:41 AM

hey I like that rear wing!

NanaimoRx-7 09-30-2003 12:20 PM

Now that I've got all the parts, let's play Guess What's Going to Go Wrong and Screw George Out of Finishing This Project.

I'm going to say that I won't be able to separate the old struts from the control arm, specifically the last bolt. That way I won't be able to get down to the shop. That's my guess. Oh oh oh maybe I'll shear a bolt off and really fuck myself over.....

Timpo 09-30-2003 12:53 PM

FUCK! I WANNA RX-7!!!

but the problem is the gas milage...

Timpo 09-30-2003 12:53 PM

I might get a miata but miata is kinda too slow...
I went to the dealership and went for test drive...

Timpo 09-30-2003 12:54 PM

Miata should get better gas milage than RX-7...
but miata is kinda slow...I mean...slower than RX-7...
I don't know if I wanna miata then...

Just be carefull with those bolts.I rounded the heads on a pair of them and bought new hardware when I swaped over.My struts didn't want to release the top mount either so I had to cut the stock spring and cut the strut shaft and grind it flat on two spots and clamped it in a vise to get the top nut and mount off it.:D Suspensions is fun.......................NOT! I might buy more Tokikos and do my 83 next fall tho.Two 7's gets costly

raymond_87 09-30-2003 01:37 PM
