Hello & welcome!

Any pics?

[fast!!!]

no pics yet i will get some sorted at the weekend,
does any body know which type of dump valve i need? will a bailey one be ok?
thanks

The FD rx7 comes with a standard type dump valve if you want to hear it all you need is to remove the standard Airbox and fit an Induction kit then the standard valve will dump to air instead of into the airbox

Welcome mate to the world of speed. :InLove

This may seem a silly question to ask you but why do you need to pay out good money to fit a D.V. -- when you already have two fitted to your system .??

Hit boost and come off and you will hear them dumping. You will not gain anything from fitting a bling one except a louder swissssssssssssss.

Save your hard earned cash and have an APEXI PFC & Commander ECU fitted and have it tuned then you will feel her fly. You are also safe then to start doing mods as you will have a mapable ECU which will keep your A/F ( air/fuel ) ratio in the safe zone.

Not trying to have a pop or anything mate just trying to save you money to spend on mods that will give you Speed and power. And a very big GRINNNN. :burnout

thats a bit of good news are they the little brown gizmo\'s connected to the pipes that are about an inch in diameter,
dont know if i want to mod the car at the moment it feels bloody fast as it is.
the back wheels spin up easily with no effort as it is :burnout .can believe this thing is so fast just from two triangles spinning around.
cant see the back tyres lasting to long  
the mechanic i use races one of these, the model before he has had a look at it and says is the dogs danglers alloy suspension bits and pieces bit fat exhaust,massive brakes.
i used to ride a yamaha v-max 1200 155 bhp that was bloody fast! this car feels as fast if not faster!
starting to realise why chavs jaws drop when i pass them  :driving  
should have got one of these years ago :Thumbsup!

Welcome to the forum

Did you get the car from Japan or from here? If the former be carefull with the tyres if they are jap because they wont be accustomed to our lovely British weather


Carefull of that back end now

Yes they are those brown things. :mmmm

If you are not going to play with the engine, then for road holding change your anti-roll bars front and back to the Racing Beat set up. The front set up comes with an additional brace bracket about £320.00 the lot from RE:WORX ( vendor above ). I put off doing it for some time and I wish I had done it years ago, the handling in corners is the dogs. It takes a lot to impress me, but I must say it is a fantastic mod. HTH.

the car came into the country from japan in november, the tires are yokohamas fronts are good but the back one\'s arn\'t going to last to much longer with the power it puts out :cool
also wondering why there are no rear speakers in the car,been looking around trying to find the right size to buy,
the mesh things are there but no speakers behind them.wondering if somebody stole them somewhere along the line :xconfused

[shaunwil]

I too came from the FTO, i had an auto GPX. I thought that was a quick car until i got my rx7. They are fantastic cars, just take it easy in the wet and your laughing. The driving feeling is awesome !

If you go for most of the aftermarket bolt on filters the standard blowoff valves are nice an loud !

Enjoy, and welcome !
