1992 Mazda RX7 Type-R

"Best" I guess depends on a lot of things, not least what you want it for and what your budget is. If you want a weapons-grade race-quality car and money's no object then MoTeC would be hard to beat. If you want a more mundane daily driver then another Apexi (and hope you get a good one) is the cheapest, easiest solution. Haltech have quite a good rep? I put a Link on mine because it has a lot of good features and is a lot faster and "brighter" than an Apexi but is still purpose-built for an FD.
sorry, had to go to work. IIRC my Link was about £800 but that was a good few years back, it might have changed. I know it's a bit steeper than the Apexi but I figured it was worth it. I lost a couple of engines in quite quick succession and though the underlying cause was electrical, the final nail was the Apexi simply not being smart enough to realise what was going on and adjust accordingly... basically it let the engines blow without adjusting the fuelling to save them. The Link reacts so much faster and is so much more intelligent. If nothing else, the car drives much smoother and more predictably on the same setup. I had a potential disaster a while back when the vacc line blew off the MAP sensor on high boost, and I still maintain that on the Apexi that'd have been another engine. The Link managed to overfuel, even on about 3 bar 
to the point that it didn't detonate and the only ill effect was the exhaust being so full of fuel it set fire to the rear bumper 
If you want to look into it further, I believe Jason at Super 7 Autos still sells (and maps them, in-house dyno). I'm sure he'd be happy to talk you through it better than I ever could if you give him a bell

Well, after being sat for almost three years she's finally cranked into life again!

How she's sat now (low-quality pic):
I was hoping she'd be done today but I'm going to assume that will slip as the spoiler still needs to go on and the seat in judging by this pic. A step closer though!

Awesome. This has really motivated me to get that car I always wanted.
Always confuses me these RX7s when I see the reg plate. A J reg? Oh yeah it's from the 90s!
First year of FD production, no less Always confuses me these RX7s when I see the reg plate. A J reg? Oh yeah it's from the 90s!

Strangely, I want another MX5 now.
