lol, it took some time but the RX-8 is finally paid off.

And I don't have any plans in selling the car. Now I can finally buy some mods I couldn't before eh.

What's the first mod you guys would do? Car is completely stock, except for LED lighting and clear corners.

If your 8 has more than 50k miles, save up $3k for any engine surprises.

Preventative stuff would be good. Fresh fluids, filters,etc.

Mods that go under preventative?
Catch can.
Sohn Adaptor.
Quality Brake fluid. (I use RBF600)
Good trans fluid. (I tried RP and its good but I've read it's harmful to our transmissions so I'm going with a mix of Redline fluids)

I suppose the last two aren't really mods.

It does greatly depend on what you plan on doing with the car?
A GOOD set of quality tires make a huge difference in handing. I put on some 245/40/18 Hankook RS-3s and my car sticks like friggin glue in a roundabout close to my house I frequent. I didn't push it too hard but I was amazed how sticky it was.

Darrn good feeling isn't it! I've purchased many vehicles over the years, and it still feels good to see that title free and clear. Congradulations.

Good for you! Mine will be this April...

Bought my rx8 April of 2007, made 6 years of payments, and can't wait to get the pink slip.
