[QUOTE="phat7, post: 1430171, member: 3001"] the fd is good as a dd and even better on track. if i were to do it all again this is what i would have done to save me money from the beginning is looking at simplifying the existing sequential setup. it is by far the most complicated system that came out of japan. mazda engineers definitely had extremely small hands and fingers as placement is soooo compact you really do begin to wonder the logic to have twins in place. By saying that let me just say the twins are excellent when working fine especially 280ps turbo's. the spool fast and there is a noticable difference in the engine design namely post 1996-2002 as the rats nest is replaced by a black box. Where the solution lies problems do crop up again as support is plentiful for 1992-1995 models (due to export into us and rx7.forum.com). Now the 1996 onwards models do not have diagrams and support so you again are pretty much left alone. I managed to get the diagrams and you kind of realise the advancing technology as the post 1996 come with 16bit ecu's to control solenoids and actuators which in turn makes its simpler. To continue from above simplify the sequentials then enjoy the car once you have done enough then move away and go single. yes many may argue about lag and what not but please remember as turbine technology advances, turbo lag has become a thing of the past. we have very efficient tc that can match sequentials low end and blast them on top end -all this thanks to technology. ( i;m sure anybody going this route will study and experiment with flow factors ie. intercooler sizing, turbo sizing -hot/cold side.) As for mantainence, ah choy is the man. Parts can be bought from japan, us if you can affor new which i strongly suggest you do. Body parts can be sourced from kedai potongs and buying new is not and option (size will cost a bomb to ship) Yes go ahead and get the car. you will have amples of fun and yes you will spend a great load of money on it but end of the day the smile from ear to ear justifies the purchase.
