please be more specific.
what kind of upgrades? Are you looking for power upgrades? want faster acceleration? handling? looks?

I will tell you this; I've spent thousands on mods to try and get more HP out of this car and it is possible but it is much more expensive then most other cars. The RX-8 is very well designed from the factory and Mazda did not leave much HP on the table...

hey man check your intro thread. I added some links that you should read.
Oh, and you're probably going to get hassled for starting this thread. My advice: Pretend you never started it, read the links I provided in your other thread, and enjoy the club for what it is

Stickies!!!! Yay!!!! You should learn to LOVE THE STICKIES!!!! Sorry, but intro threads are great for learning about the 8! And you would answer your own questions before realizing like Jedi54 said: More HP is much more expensive on the RX-8 than other cars like *cough-cough* Civics *cough-cough*.

The FASTEST way to get better HP and Acceleration is to TRADE THE RX-8 for an '02 Corvette Z-06.

Like Jedi said, there really is no cheap way to get much extra horsepower for the 8... The only real way to make the 8 produce much more power is to go forced induction or nitrous... Both of which will cost you a pretty good wad of cash.
