What Next?

So I got an 06' RX-8 and I put in a mazdaspeed cold air intake. I want to do more to it.

Any suggestions for what I should do next?

clear corners, lowering springs, window tint....etc...lots of stuff you can do...but only you can know what direction you want to go, since it is your car and you have to drive it, not us.

still, its up to you where you want to go with it. If you have a MT, the axial flow short shifter is a must. Front and rear sways too. As far as engine mods, there isn't much you can do that will yield much HP. Catless midpipe and Cobb AcessPort from MazdaManiac will do the most other than some form of forced induction

save up and get some forced induction (turbo etc.), otherwise get an exhaust and some suspension

HDPE classes. It's not the Mods but how you drive.
