UK whats your most useful mod

some pictures of what i consider the most practical mod i have done :oops: after all when this happens you need one of these
so :- plus i use it for some of my work delivery's as well

had to go the the garden center to day for her in doors, she needed some bits, so we took the rex, 6 bags of 10mm slate, 4 bags 20mm slate, 2 bags of bark chippings, 4 bags of compost, 4 grow bags, and a few bedding plants

as the trailer can be dismantled and stored up right in the garage and you can still park you rex in as well plus i can addmit i have had the trailer at 110 mph thats with a diffent set of wheels but you would not get me to addmit this on my u.k club sight ha ha the road i was on did not have any one ealse on it with me you just gotta be alittle bit naughty some times

I wouldn't use the rx8 for towing stuffs, not enough torque, specially if your car is lowered with fat chicks inside

It's not that the 8 wouldn't tow ok it's just that it shouldn't !

And good thinking on the whole fat chicks/supercharger front .

I don't think towing a trailer at 110 mph brings the word "naughty" to mind, something else entirely.

Off topic but... Is it just me or does that mazdaspeed spoiler look 1000% better in real life than in any picture?

I used to pull a light, but 27 ft long trailer with a 90 hp VW GTI. Horsepower is what moves things and as long as one has a close ratio transmission to keep in the power band, towing is not big deal.

Most useful mods?
1) A daily driver to keep the 8 out of salty winters.
2) $50 worth of resonance damping sheets inside the doors which vastly inproves the stereo. https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-interior-audio-electronics-24/cheapest-audio-upgrade-ever-%3D-%2450-215671/
3) The fog light mod which allow turning them on/off independently of the headlights. It's a way to get DRL without eating up the life of the very expensive to replace HIDs.
4) Any method for monitoring the engine cooling water temperature and secondary to that, oil temp.
