How much did you spend on your RX8 so far?
Just out of curiosity, how much did you guys spend on your RX8 in terms of modification? Not maintenance...
I just spent another $$$ on MS upgrade.
So far, I have spent $5k on top of RX8 purchased from day one brand new. See my signature for details.
I love the look of Mazdaspeed RX8 Version 2. However, it will take me another $5K to complete this project. ($3K for MS body kit, $2k for suspension). :D

mebbe $2500.
but the thing is the upgraded pieces were all replaced because the OE part needed to be replaced. (ie, muffler was bent when someone swiped me when i was parked.)
if i look at things just replaced for no reason. its more like $800. but thats jumping with my CAI in the mail (yay teamrx8). coming really soon are my race pipe and eibach pro kits.

Monthly payment and gas. I'm hell-bent on finishing getting the 6 paid off by next spring. Only mod I have planned for the RX8 is getting rid of those god-awful stock speakers for something really nice.
