New and could use some advice...
 

Hello,

I am a new 2004 RX-8 owner and i was wondering what the best performance parts for this car are. Any advice? Anything i should know about the car in general? I honestly dont know a whole lot about it except for the fact that its one of the easiest cars i have ever drifted.
Thanx all!!!

look around, read up, the answers are right in front of your eyes...

welcome to the addiction

Welcome! If you ever feel like going to a Dick's meet you should check the threads (we're having one this Thursday) and you'll learn a hefty deal about what you can do to these cars. Keep in mind these cars won't get a lot of performance gains unless you go FI, but there are some really fun things you can do to these cars :-) I'm looking into the Simota Intake right now myself. but that's just me.

Welcome again and have fun on the forum!

Don't feed the troll. Dude these same questions get asked at least once a week by some other noob too lazy to use the f-ing search button. :tool:

its because they want to be welcomed and be part of the interaction. lollss

welcome.

Read this thread! All of it. Don't post again until you do. It will save you a lot of frustration and flaming.

Welcome to the club. Enjoy the car!

I would not get the Simota Intake. Do some searches on the intake to read the feedback from others :)

I have been, seems like a mixed review...But the sound is so nice!

What do you suggest PDX?

No threadjacking Mike ;)

Hey, the NW crew's pretty cool... definitely drive out for one of the meets!
Also, the search button is your new best friend. Unless you like getting flamed...

Not stealing, just...Improvising?

Racing Beat or Mazdaspeed/AEM. To be honest none will give much more than sound. But these intakes you will not lose HP. The OE intake is very well engineered. FWIW I have the Racing Beat intake.

Once you get your intake and exhaust figured out (really just a prefrence in sound if you pick any decent brand) you have to get a COBB AP to realize any new HP and TQ. Best $500 i spent on my car!!!

:wavey:

Thanx to all who posted helpful advice and for the welcome. Especially fuztupnz for the link. Very informative. It helped answer a lot of my questions.

DUDE.. GET THE INJEN ITS BY FAR THE BEST INTAKE.FRM MY POINT OF VIEW.. BEST SOUNDING N BEST HP GAINING INTAKE.. THTS FRM COMPARING AEM N THE INJEN...

AND WELCOME BUDDY...:mchase:
