what would YOU do to a base 6MT RX8 with 10k in your pocket?
i have about 10k saved up, and i want to make my 8 perform the best it could possibly perform with that money, in terms of hp. and since ive noticed that alot of the people on this site who put posts know a hell of alot more than i do, im seeking anyone and everyones advice. much appreciated.

cover it w/ vtec stickers, they are supposedly like 10hp each
then with the 9.9k left get lighter rims, stiffer swaybars, wait for a turbo kit to come out for under 5k and save the rest to fix it when it breaks =)

You want to make the car faster? Then attend several driving schools - Skip Barber, Bob Bondurant. Then start attending open-lapping track days. Buy a few sets of tires to burn off at those. There's nothing else you could spend on that will give the same results in making your car faster. Not only that, but it will make EVERY car you drive faster, AND safer. Best investment ever.
Regards,
Gordon

You know, performance upgrades as substantial as FI aren't as simple as just dishing out the cash to purchase them...you're gonna need to tune the car too...you might have assumed or know this by now...so understand i'm not trying to insult your intelligence...just saying that it won't be just a one time payment of 10k or whatever, and that's it...you're car will be running in the 300hp range for the next 100+ thousand miles...be ready to factor the possible funds for that in too...
Mazdaspeed Body kit, suspension, body braces and lightened flywheel; Full exxhaust with header, midpipe and catback and Canzoomer's Stage 2 kit... maybe I need more than 10k :p
