I bought my RX-7 in 1998. It is a 1995 model (the
last year RX-7s were imported to the U.S.). It is a R2 package
(race version - different springs, dual oil coolers, suede leather).
There were only 23 red R2s imported in 1995.


Over the years, I have modified my 7 towards better
performance. Here is a list of modifications:
Greddy
T-78 Single Turbo
Streetported Engine
Greddy Down Pipe
Borla XR-1 (used as midpipe)
Apexi N1 Dual Tip Cat-Back
Greddy Type-R Blow-off Valve
Unorthodox Pulleys
Greddy Elbow
Greddy 3 Core Front Mount Intercooler
Koyo Radiator
ACT
100% Over Clutch
Shane Racing 9.5# Aluminum Flywheel
Pettit Racing Drag Launch
Kit
Stainless Steel Braided
Brake Lines
Dual Supra Fuel Pumps
-6 Braided Fuel Lines
Weldon Racing Fuel Filter
SX Rising Rate Fuel
Pressure Regulator
Power FC w/ Commander w/ Datalogit Laptop Software
HKS Twin Power Ignition
850cc Primary
Injectors
1600cc Secondary Injectors w/ Custom Fuel Rail
Aquamist
Alcohol/Water Injection
18" Enkei Aegis Wheels
Eibach Lowering Springs
Mazdaspeed Short Throw
Shifter
On a DynoJet dyno, the 7 has put
down as much as 456 rwhp / 352 rwtq.

To date, my best time at the drag strip has been a 7.37 1/8th mile
(11.40 1/4 mile). I think with some boost built at the line, 6's
in the 1/8th mile (10's in 1/4 mile) are obtainable. These runs
were at 17 psi on pump gas. I plan on tuning to 21 psi soon. |
