Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 You should come autocrossing with us, its pretty fun. As for advice, there is always swapping the motor. About damn near everything has been swapped into the RX-7. Grand National V6 turbos, LS1's, Ford 5.0's and 2.3 turbos, another rotary...your options are pretty much endless in that regard. If you want to make it handle better, Racing Beat sells a reasonably priced suspension kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVRINGS Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Enjoy that car. I remember watching Josh build up his RX7 a few years ago, and that thing was very very mean. Take your time with it. I've seen an LS1 swap RX7 up North and I was shocked at is power. Good luck with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so that was my friend ryan, he used to take it to autox all the time, then he just kinda stopped showin up at parties and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 What it is. I wanna see this S5, finally someone else has a rotary. Take the cats off ASAP. I got 26mpg in my GSL-SE, and you actually have four small injectors compared to my two bigass ones. I'll pm you my number, I might take my seven out tommorrow night.

Smokey Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 welcome in. I'd focus on suspension first. That'll give you plenty of time to figure out what you want to do power-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mK4gls Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 well heres what the car already had on it when i got it: - Tein Springs w/ KYB shocks - Magnaflow single exit straight pipe (dumbass that had it before tore it up on speedbumbs so it leaks) - the stock s5 rims painted black - The passenger side needs some bodywork - Previous owner also claims the motor was rebuilt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotarded1647545491 Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 1. Lose the sleepy eye headlights 2. Does the car have the pre-cat and catalytic converter still installed. If not you will need to get some sort of back pressure for your 6 ports to operate properly 3. Welcome newb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
