With an N/A, you will come out of every corner waiting for a turbo to spool. Only it will never happen.

IMHO, deep groove race bearings aren't required at all. In fact, I wouldn't even change the exisiting bearings in your engine unless they are trash. For what you're doing, money could be better spent elsewhere (unless you require them due to damage)

Good luck with your build

umm.... hairdryer and goo gone will do the trick to ANYTHING.

Again, on brakes: If your car is 4 lug, then you need to upgrade, if it is 5 lug, then you have the same brakes as the TURBO model, and if they will slow that down, they will be MORE THAN ENOUGH for the N/A!

Please, leave any preconcieved notions outside when you are here, we rotorheads are like family, and only want to help. We wont tell you something like this if it:

a) was bullshit.

b) hasn't been asked 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times by other people. We have all been there, and a lot of the knowledge comes down from very experienced people who know the RX-7 inside and out!
