Talking Proud New RX8 owner!!

Hey all i work close to Giants stadium and am new here and the proud new owner of a 2005 6spd RX-8!!

I bought the car at East Coast Mazda, I got a 2 for one deal because my girlfriend was getting another Mazda 3 since she totalled hers on Sunday in a bad accident.
We got great deals on both and S-Plan pricing through my company.
I traded in my Acura TSX mainly because it was automatic lol and i was tired of it after 2 years.

I have a few questions if anyone can point me in the right direction!
Anyone have a RX8 Icelink write up? I called dension and they told me it isnt available for 05 RX8 untill august 15th.

And where do i start with the modding!!!!
Any reccomendations, dynos etc!

Sorry to sound like a noob i was a member over at the acura site for 2 years im just new to the RX8 scene.

AKay

hey chrism are there any threads or do you have any reccomendations on 2 way alarm for the RX8? I seen something about a factory add on. But i would like something with 2 way and with a proximity sensor.
Thanks
AKay
