Hey Vin, Welcome! I am up at Thunderhill a lot between racing and instructing. I teach the SCCA High Performance Street School there and also for the NCRC http://ncracing.org/ . Check out my CMC car at http://www.geckoranch.com/cars/gekko_racing.html - that will give you a good idea of a well set-up third gen. I can definitely help you put those RX7s in your rear view mirror! 
C'mon out with your car as it is and you'll have blast!

Welcome to our addiction.
These days I'm running an 87 T/A. It won't take too much to put the 'zoom zoom' in your rear view.

Hey Vin,
I'm running the same GC kit and spring setup as Mike. I actually talked to him too when making the decision on my springs. I'm also using Koni Sports, poly control arm bushings and endlinks, Spohn Adj. Panhard bar, 32/19 swaybars, Belltech drop spindles and 3" Hooker catback. I'm still quite a way from my goal also
