damn. Love the body kit. I'm envious.

If you're looking to upgrade anything else, do the hoses on the greddy kit. Especially the reducer hose at the bottom of the charge tube - that one usually rips.

nice!

It looks like money.

Next thing to do is to get a cold air intake, and to get the charge tube and intake tube chromed or powder coated so it doesn't look like a stock greddy kit

Actually I am quite disappointed at the RX8 since it's not as fast as EVO 9 and Sti S204.....

The greddy kit with the setup you have there is only going to make about 250 whp (assuming you're running EMU or Blue with the stock maps). Most of your mods went into non performance stuff, so don't look at it as "I put 50k into this car and it should be faster than a 30k car."

If you've got money to blow, go to http://mazsport.net and look at their type 2 or type 3 kit. With the ignition coil updates, you are going to be able to make 350 whp or more.

I think it's not worth to do it.....don't want to waste of money anymore. I spent under USD15,000 for the ex-C32 and SL55 and they could get more than 100 whp more already.

I am usually not a fan of bodykits but yours is stunning. Not just for looks but for functionality!

How wide are your tires?
