What do I want to do with my car??!!
So, I'm trying to decide which way to go about mods and what not now so I can start to save / research.
Auto X seems fun, but I wouldn't want to use my car lol.
Drag racing again looks fun, but I would have to get a turbo (an 8 ran a 15.06 today at Atco, I think it only had a Greddy exhaust)
Showing it is another option.
So do I go exhaust/turbo (by the way, would that get me into the 13's?)
Or bodykit, etc.
Hmmm..decisions...

Take it from a guy who's lived near a dragstrip all his life: it's fun about twice. There's not enough to it to keep you engrossed; it's mostly about the car. They don't even give you enough room to get it up to any impressive speed.
Autocross, if you want to get into that, is highly skill-based, and the RX-8 is a very capable autocross competitor. Lots of fun to be had there.
The most fun thing you can do in my opinion would be to join a car club and spend time at a track.

This thred is stupid. We have no idea what your interests or budget are like, or where you live so what events or race tracks might be near you. Stupid question deserves a stupid answer, so I agree with the horses guy...

Ok instead of saying it's stupid, just ask.
Budget is fine I have extra cash, not plenty... but next September I do get an extra 9 grand... I live in South Jersey and have easy access to Atco and E-Town.
I'm leaning towards the turbo as well....

go for autoX and dont turbo the car, it just makes the engine life shorter and 8's dont really get that much out of turbo's for the money, slap on some shocks, a front swaybar and start winning b-stock at ur local autoX region.

Actually a bit ago I obtained a Greddy kit for: $0.
Traded a couple items... talked to him on the phone... just going to finalize everything tomorrow.
It was an offer I couldn't pass up... now time to start getting the essentials... wonder if there are any other 06's turbod...
