"Why It's an Upgrade: Do you know how many seconds you waste shifting gears? Some cars can shift gears in milliseconds thanks to semi-automatic gearboxes and tricky software. We gear-rowers must rely on shortening the length of travel of the gear lever for quick gear changes. Enter short-throw shifter. It can be a pretty cheap and simple installation and the result is a shortened travel of the hand and a decreased amount of time spent off the power. Depending on the track (or commute) you could reduce your lap times."

I would be the happiest RX8 owner if I got an AFE SS for less than $100.

I really dont want to do this... but I feel compelled to point this out...

"3.) Synthetic Oil

Suggested by: Sheed's Bald Spot

Why It's an Upgrade: We've all seen the commercials on TV and we been told of the advantages of synthetic oil. It offers better viscosity at both low and high temperatures, there is no oxidation of the oil or creation of sludge, and it gives your engine a longer life. Basically, synthetics improve on conventional mineral oils and it's only slightly more expensive to opt for the synthetic option. However, if you happen to drive a performance vehicle with a rotary engine, it's not recommended you use synthetic oils."

Where is this bulls*** spewing device being held and where can I turn it off...
