Wow.. I like the way you think.

That should be good for about 600 HP easy - right?

You can get 600hp out of a 2 rotor.

A FI, four rotor can go over 1000hp.

By 600 HP easy I meant like.. 10 pounds of boost and tuned for street driving.

I think I remember hearing MazdaTrix did a 900 HP 3 rotor a few years back so I know it can be done.

Perfect setup for WHAT? Suspension? Power? Everything? Racing? What kind of racing? Street? Both?

This thread fails.

Hamsters are outdated, ferrets are the new cool thing.

as for bolt-ons... just get brands with good reputations and the sound you like... and that'll be YOUR perfect setup.

suspension... if you plan on doing some hardcore driving (tracks and etc) get em~ if not, stock suspension is fine

wheels and tires - completely preference for your style and color of your car...

want some power with n/a, go with canzoomer

Sorry for being sensible but here is my list - its a blend of getting the most out of it without spending too much .

For Power
Lightweight flywheel
Agency Power underdrive pulley
Revi + Duct
Catless resonated midpipe
Dynotuned piggyback ECU - interceptor
Nitrous
AF short shifter

For Looks
Air dam - anything lower than that is a pita for me
1/2 side skirts at rear
Lip spoiler
strakes
Like the stock rims

For handling
like it the way it is
need to ride in someones modified 8 to see if I would want to change anything

Stereo
Love the MP3 player
Like the stereo the way it is too - don't get these people who think it is crap

I was unaware that a lightweight flywheel and short shifter added power...
