Lol If you attend the V-day event we will all get a chance to run together! Stock for stock I would have more grunt coming out of the turns and be able to get to the next turn faster, but overall I don't suspect there would be much of a difference between the cars...not in all the twisties.

so far i just have racing beat intake w duct and turbo xs racepipe and exhaust
and i just ordered cobb ap from mm
and my upcoming mods are

Kevo

The only mods I have done are the shifter, wheels, strut bar and cdv...haven't done anything to increase the hp yet...possibly wait until the factory warranty is up.

Most likely will be a completly new exhaust from the headers to the tips, a big brake kit and possibly an ESS supercharger.

I need to start saving my pennies now! Lol

KEVO: I am not stock. Really love the looks of the Z-4, so I had to make sure of a few things.

Kevo

I didn't figure you were Lol...most guys on this forum have some degree of modding going on. So what did you have to make sure of? Also, what have you done with your 8 so far?

Pearl White Sleeper

No dis-respect ment. I was going after an M-3 when I came across the RX-8.

Kevo

No offense taken. The 8 is a great car. I really loved mine!

I am in the process of up-grading from a TURBONETICS T04E to a GARRETT GT42R.
I am going try to push about 350+, at the rear wheels, in high boost.

Kevo

Plenty more at the wheels than I have!

well i now have my list of mods in my sig

Kevo

You need to do some more mods man...the list just ain't long enough.

VS8

iTrader: (4)

hopefully next year the list will also say GReddy Turbo

Kevo

After I had my engine replaced I never felt 100% confident stepping into it...let alone add a turbo...which is one of the reasons I opted to move onto the M.

Do you ever feel like you are walking on eggshells given the early issues? Any extra precautions you have to take to be certain it can handle the extra load?
