New to the RX8

Hey,

I'm about to join the rx8 world. I'm looking at buying a Shinka edition right now, probably going to buy this week.

My last car was a 2005 Dodge Srt-4 but it was wrecked in an accident. I'm wondering if someone on here can point me in the direction of a mod forum, basic guildlines for best power potential with the rx8. I'm playing a turbo kit in the summer.

I've been trying to learn as much as possible about the car and what I'm going to do before I get the car.

Thanks

Welcome to the (Shinka) club!!!

That's a 2005, right? The pics (except maybe the first one) make the car look more black than black cherry. Also, it looks like the stitching on the steering wheel and parking brake handle isn't black cherry.

Congrats! And Welcome!
Swap out the rim if you get the chance in the future tho, lol.
Not sure what was the previous owner thinking...

Ya its the 2005, black cherry. Looks better in reality, must have been bad lighting during those pictures.

And agreed with the rims lol, gonna try and look for something better this summer, but they will work for now.
