Hey guys I just bought an RX8, i will be putting up pictures very soon here!! Anyway im getting ready to do my first mod, does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for any help!!

 

Congratz on your 8.

However I cringe at your question. That is such a typical first question, and there are hundreds of threads asking it.

The last person to ask it had his thread turn into a war.

I'd suggest deleting your original post to avoid the same, and just going and searching out what there is to offer.

 

Stock response - Clear corners

 

My advice is don't follow the crowd, be unique..

 

^^^plug lol
BHR midpipe and BHR ignition
happy to help

 

waiting for the RB midpipe to blow out
and waiting for 115K miles for the ignition...coils/plugs will have 30Kmiles on them (6 more months tops)

 

The first question before recommending anything should be ... what year

 

Welcome,

Please list the year so people know what you are starting with..

Also, check out both threads in my signature.

.....and from now they can all go right here.

 

Take it to a autocross or track day and enjoy. Then you can figure out what you would like to do.

 

ill be in need of it shortly

 

I guess I went *** backwards on this one

OP, try learning the car first before you start modding. Find it's strengths and weaknesses for you, then go from there.

 

+1. That was my first mod. I had ordered them before I had even picked up my car.

 

Congrats...check out this website for some cool stuff for ur new ride. http://www.rotaryfx.com/Mazda_RX8_Lighting_s/2.htm

 

If used car, this advice is sage.
If new, Cobb AP from MM is first. U cab pick up the coils after a few more miles.

 

why are we continuing to recommend products when we dont even know what year rx8 he has .... half of these recommendations are shot if he has an S2

 

why did someone recommend lights?

1st mod: Educate yourself.

Please start with the stickies on this site. All of them are informational and good reads.

2nd mod: All of the above work.

How about this: http://www.skipbarber.com/mazdadriving.asp

Cheaper than a new set of wheels, coilovers, full exhaust, any body kit, forced induction, a rebuilt engine, and just about any 2 other mods put together.

And it can be transferred from car to car free of charge, fits all makes and models, guaranteed for your life, requires no scheduled maintenance, will not void your warranty, race proven results, will make you faster on the track, and may save your life or the life of someone else.


Anyone care to name a mod that can compete with that?

 

I dont get why everybodys first thread has to be what first mod they should do. Heres an idea, why dont you just drive the car and enjoy it as the car is amazing the way it is. If your going to do any mods, mod the driver, not the car.

 

Replace the interior lights with bright blue LEDs. People love it when your car looks like an aquarium.

 

The search engineering exhaust will give you 14hp

 

I cannot.

 

Change all your fluids, reseal the oil pan, air filter and fuel filter.
