New here!!

Hi!!

My name is Amanda, I am from canda. Hello to everyone here

I am going to get a RX-8 GT winning blue in 2 weeks. Then I would like to get some parts for my new car.

I would like to get a :

1. new cat back exhaust
2. Bodykit ( I only want polyurethane kit)
3. CAI
4. Spoiler


I think that's all

Well, I dont really know which aftermarket parts are good, I am thinking of getting the Greddy SP2 cat back but I wanna something louder than the Greddy, and as for bodykit, I only wanna go with urethane cuz I really dont like Fiber glass.... and maybe K&N CAI? I think I would get the rotora CF wing.

But like I said, I am not sure if those upgrades are good, any suggestions?

Thanks! I will take some pics after I get my car. I see there are a lot of winning blue rx-8 on this site! hello again to you all!

Hi Amanda
welcome to the forum/club.....I am excited for you...getting a new 8 and modding it is a blast...

I have the following:

1. Borla catback - i like it better than greddy because the sound is not so high pitched
2. Racing Beat Revi CAI
3. Factory appearance pkg - front splash guards, side and rear aero flares
4. Mazdaspeed style carbon fiber wing....but OEM is nice too
5. Clear Corners and Fender strakes are a must

just to start of course....LOL
great to see another woman on the forum
Pat

PS...check my sig for pic and other mods

I just got a Mazdaspeed dual muffler cat-back installed on Friday. So far I'm really enjoying it.

Welcome!

If you want louder add a high flow cat or mid-pipe to your exhaust.

Mazdaspeed, Mazdaspeed-replica, Tsunami or apperance package would be your choices for a urethane bodykit.

Be sure to post in the lounge and check in the aftermarket parts forum for exahust/intake and other performance mods. See the exterior/bodykit forum for your bodykit questions.

You might consider some winter tires...
But plans sound very good!

I love how when a girl asks questions without searching we are all sympathetic and try to help, but when a new guy comes on here, we rip him a new one

welcome to the club Amanda! being here you're going to get the MOD bug
