beginner preformance

I recently got my 2005 stock rx8

I would like to know what is the best route for getting the best preformance for a relatively cheap price.

Thanks

Make sure the car's maintenance is current. Tires and sways bars.

Swap the air filter for a K&N it's about $40 and only takes 10 mins

eBay chips, HKS intakes and exhaust. Good thins cost lots of money, but they are the best!!!!

I'd have to say you already got the best performance for a relatively cheap price - you got the car!

But that aside, there isn't significant more (straight line) performance to be had at any price. That's just the way this car is

For cornering, tires. For straight line speed, a midpipe (unless your in an area that has EPA testing).
