Cheap upgrades?
 

Hello new to the forum and just bought an 05 rx8 only a month ago (6 speed of course) Anyway was wondering if there are any cheap upgrades you can get for this car, intakes or anything.

Oh dear...
I'm sure you can get some stickers for pretty cheap.
You know what's even cheaper? Reading through this wonderful forum that has been around for a while.
Just a suggestion.

There are a number of relatively inexpensive aesthetic upgrades but no cheap performance upgrades. The stock intake, exhaust, etc. are pretty well optimized.

A custom tune is of benefit at under a grand.

Forced Induction (supercharger, turbo or nitrous) are your only real performance upgrade options and none of them are cheap (nitrous being considerably less than s/c or turbo however).

If you want cheap body kits...get the replicas instead. Some replicas are good, and some are bad. You have to search around to find the best deal out there. Research before you buy, good luck.

cheap upgrades=fail. you can cut your springs in half and f up your suspension, but at least you can call yourself hellasunk

:lol: another one. yay.

I suggest you do some reading on the site. Every upgrade available has been covered in depth.

Start with this thread: https://www.rx8club.com/new-member-forum-197/new-potential-owners-start-here-202454/

Then read every sticky you can find.

Fron there check out the Aftermarket Performance Upgrades section and then the Major Horsepower Upgrades section.

Fixed it for ya!

In a single word: No.

Anything cheap won't give you gains.

again cheap upgrades=FAIL. and moniche how the hell do you know what my ride height is? i have koni yellows with tien stechs. then again this just proves how much you have no idea what the hell you are talking about. personally i would rather have quality/proven suspension upgrades on my car instead of turning it into an unsafe abortion on wheels

Well im just going to save up and turbo it then, maybe change the rims as well.

save up about 10k, to do the turbo..

Cheap? Do you mean inexpensive?

There are some nice stuff you can do to the car that is inexpensive. I really like my VooDoo shift knob. Adding a ipod integration kit can be nice. You can Do a Vfad delete. Send the car to a paintless dent repair place and have them take out any imperfections you would be surprised how inexpensive this can be. Buy yourself some nice cleaning products and spend a day giving it a nice wash and wax. Get yourself some fresh plugs wires and coils.

I can think of lots of cheap things to put on your car as well but save and get the good stuff, it will cost you less in the end.

Good for you.

OHHHHHHHHH I get it now. Monchie CUT HIS SPRINGS?!

I never got the spring cutting reference that went with his posts.. lmfao.

This is why i'm so loved.
