You should swap in a VTEC rotary, yo. You have the non-VTEC one.

Honestly man. The key to knowledge on ANY forum is not to post stupid general questions, but to actually search and look into threads other people have posted & established.

You got to go with your style.

Why would you ask people you have never met before what you should do to your car ?

Just look on mod sites or this site under the rx8 parts forum and if you see something that you like and fits your style go with it.

I mean thats why I like rx8's, it fits my style, I think the stock look is the sickest out of all the mods iv seen aside from 1-2 or youtube

Cobb Accessport with Mazda Maniac maps. You can do an exhaust, intake, flywheel, stuff like that but you wont see much power increases.

+1 on the vtec though.
