just bought an rx8...suggestions???
Just came home with my rx8 and already ready to mod want to put a turbo kit on it but not going to until my warranty is up....i planned on buying an exhaust system, intake, and puttin in a chip but hit me up with more suggestions about getting more h/p and torque.

A few things I recommend, especially if you are going to stay NA until the warranty is up is the Interceptor-X ECU and Cooling Fan Control Kit from Mazsport. Then once you are ready for forced induction, they have quite the accompaniment of turbo kits. Welcome to Mazsoport.net

Well, we all have different needs.....
The RX8 can be a perky thing with the right mods....
I have really enjoyed my Tanabe Sway bars and my InterceptorX EMS. I have the B&B race pipe and the HKS exhaust....
We have some dealerships in town that wont void your warranty with mods. Check out flrx8club.net for other RX8 owners opinions for mods.
We have a RX8 meet on Saturday at the Chilis in Oldsmar if you want to see some mods on other RX8 first hand....

+1 to everyone. Awsome advice.
Also it's a rotary, so don't forget to rev the hell outta it.

suggestion #1 is to call and complain about them overrating the power
