I know nothing of what will pass for smog and what will not. Is there anyone here off the top of their head that knows what performance upgrades you can do with your car, including exhaust etc, that will still pass for smog in the sucky state of California? I know this is asking a lot but since this state smogs and I am not willing to find a way around ($$$ *Wink *Wink) unless I had some Heavy engine swap done. Anyone? I appreciate any replies. Even if you say something like "Vinyl!". Already said it! LOL

it'll be pretty difficult to find your rx-7 in decent condition. the rotary engines aren't as long lasting so you're most likely gonna run into some problems as opposed to a 15-year-old toyota. and if you're not very knowledgeable under the hood, then a rx-7 might be too much to handle. as for a turbo kit... put one together yourself. it'll be much cheaper, and most likely better than buying the whole kit. plenty of info on what you need and what to do. http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=5574

The guy said he is getting in another and will email me as soon as possible. One thing about me, is that I am a fast learner. I know people who would be willing to help me and show me things, if I have a car worth seeing. Otherwise if it is minor things I am on my own. I know those rotary engines aren't as long lasting, but dammit, they look so goooooooood. -------------------- 91 MR2 Turbo SW20, 92 MR2 Turbo SW20, 95 Celica GT ST204
