It has very perfect looks like new Tan interior. I mean flawless, show room perfect. I has the sunroof, and it is wingless. Those are the stock FD wheels chrome. It drives like a dream. So Plans are as follows:
HKS Exhaust
larger Intercooler
Power FC with controller (like the Cobb access port but for RX-7s)
Window Tint
Keyless entry and a better alarm
Wheels eventually, still looking.
Any other suggestions?

Either way, do the radiator. If I remember right, the Elfini intake tube and an aftermarket downpipe also help with cooling, but you need to watch the boost creep w/ the downpipe. I will check with my buddy and see if there is anything else.
Do the safety/cooling mods first!!!! Do 2k mile oil changes and you should be OK. When/if you rebuild - make sure the upgraded Apex seals are used.

Yes. Before doing ANY power mods and I mean ANY - replace the radiator with a good larger unit. Then get a good replacement intercooler (the GReddy stock replacement one is nice, unless you need the FMIC bling).

Sweet deal. I think the Koyo radiator is a good one (IIRC).

Also, the Fluidyne is a popular radiator choice if I recall (friend had an FD back in the day).
