New guy here, be gentle.
Ok, I'm completely new to this car. I just got an '04 RX8 and I was thinkin about the ZEX nos kit. Any information/advice ya'll can give me? The car is bone stock with 9,900 miles. Also, what are some good "small" hp upgrades (trying not to spend thousands of dollars right away, lol). Thanx

then you should wait for Richard Paul's Axial flow Supercharger kit for the RX-8 being debuted at the end of this month
https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...8&page=1&pp=15
definetly read the first 20 pages and the last hundred or so. if you hav etime read the whole thing some evening its a good read for th emost part.
also check out his website http://www.axialflow.com/ for some installed pics so far.
you can order up the short shifter which is a blast.
for performance gains on a budget in the mean time i suggest an aftermarket exhaust like the corksport/mazdaspeed , turboXs or espilir. and definetly get the Racing Beat flash.
if you think you might go with the Axcharger id say hold of on the intake until you decide. if you decide you arent ready for that step for awhile then get the Racing Beat intake with duct.
if you decide to go nitrous make sure you read Charles R. Hill's theads about his original install and his conversion to direct port injection. he'll be working on tuning soon with the e-manage ultimate

Although if you want to do nitrous, Charles Hill has had good results, I think he may be the only guy on the boards with a nitrous 8. He'll probably chime in any minute now.
edit: doh, beaten by zoom44 like a redheaded stepchild

From what I have read in the past few months I would wait...

far as I know, all the other FI kits will cost more than the greddy, and many of them aren't even available yet.
On the other hand, given your screen name, you might regret getting a turbo if you really dig the axial flow..
