Need some opinions!!
 

Hey guys, I have recently put exhaust and intake on my rx8 and I was wondering what the next best performance mod would be for my car. If you guys could give me your opinions that would be great Thanks!

lightweight flywheel - no question .

Short shifter.

lowering springs/some kind of suspension mod that will get you lower to the ground, or the AFE short shifter. I love it.

suspension isn't a bad idea. if you go with the flywheel, might as well swap out your clutch also. how much are you looking to spend?

i would get a racing beat seach engine.

Pay for some track time.

I vote for the short throw shifter.

this coming from someone who wasn't sure if it was worth the money ...

If your car has high mileage swaping the flywheel would require replacement of the clutch as well. So, if you don't have the cash right now spend the money for the flywheel on a crank pulley $130 and a short shifter $260. I have the axial flow and personally like it a lot.

Save your money, invest it :)

This is the way to go in fact. Oh, I mean ^+1

well, I thought that the rx8 already came with a stock short shifter. Would an aftermarket one really improve the performance that much? Also, I only have 15000 miles on my rx8, so I dont think I would need to replace the clutch if I got the lightweight fly wheel

wow,

you dont have a clue...

yes the afe short shifter does impove the shifts. a lot.

as to the clutch. if you are going to spend 400 to 500 bucks labor to put in a lightweight flywheel would you want to pay it again 20k mile later to put in a new clutch?

if you want an opinion and get it. research before you dispute it.

FW FTW

you are right about the clutch - don't touch it (unless you have been or intend to go drag racing )

well, If I were to get a flywheel I think I would just put it in myself

ok,

and you know how to do that? tell me what a ppf it..

you are just silly.

beers :beer:

you are in a funny mood tonight swoope ....

nope,

garbage in garbage out...

btw. scott dixon rocks. i was at homestead yesterday.... p 2. weldon could not be touched.


beers :beer:

You were at the Indy car races ? Would like to see them in action one day myself . I've seen F1 but Indy is cool too .

Didn't Dixon lead close to the end ?

btw,

what exhaust and intake?

and did you install it yourself?

beers :beer:

a little due to pits. but everyone was weldons bitch... i did not realize weldon and dixon were on the same team.

beers :beer:

The exhaust is Greddy SP2, and the intake is K&n Typhoon Gen 2 , and yes, I installed them myself

well the trans drop and clutch change should be a snap..

gfl..

beers :beer:

what happened to that secret project of yours ?
