well im new but ive always been interested in RX-8's .... im thinking about getting one but i have a few questions

manual VS auto which is better?

how much does it cost too make a fairly good looking/performing 8

and if i do get one i would like to know what a good stage build up is....im lookin to get like 280-310 HP but im 17 and money is scarce so i figure do it in stages

 

manual.

how much does the rx8 that you are looking at cost?

stage build up. hmm.. sure. buy a turbo kit piece by piece. lol.

welcome.

 

manual. save up your money because a simple build up will not get you near goal of 280-310. turbo or supercharger will get you there but they are not cheap

 

well i can find a used stick shift with like 50K miles for about 14 or 15K

and i mean stage build up as in buying in stages not pieces haha

 

The search button is your best friend.

 

by stages do you mean intake, exhaust, etc?

 

ya but also ecu flash turbo/charger porting tuning

 

if one of your stages is turbo/supercharger than you will get your goal. but like i said start saving up

 

Auto is better.

 

Wait for the Mazdaspeed RX8. It will come with 350hp to the front wheels.

 

kseer, your from Texas. Go to the Gulf RX-8 Forum and get intouch with the people from your area talk to them. Also, read everything you can on here. Go back 2 months in the posts. Read the "Stickies". They are there for a reason. That should get you up to speed on everything RX8.

 

OK, so I just lol'd a lot, and almost spit water out my nose. Thanks.
