Cobb accessport with mm maps💪

A thousand times this!

Other than that, I am going to go with any mod that improves reliability in this car. I nominate BHR for their ignition and midpipe.

coilovers and 25mm spacers would be the first mods anyone with a stock 8 should buy period. car looks dumb in stock height and offset.

Depends on if you are looking for performance or looks; for performance, Short Shifter and/or Syncro-saver have been awesome mods to make it feel way snappier.

all my mods :lol::lol2:

Yes, because you want your stance to look great while your ignition and cat are conspiring to kill your engine. :rock:

Especially your Megan coilovers! :worship:

INB4, "my megan coilovers make my car feel like it's riding on rails".

its all oh how you have it set up. i had megan racing coilovers on my 7, use to track it and drive on street from time to time, never had any issues and they lasted till i parted the car out, and now are on a drift car in pa. i love the way my 8 rides with them, ill see soon how they are on the track,

Megan is what you buy, when you must have "racing" coilovers and can't afford anything good or don't know any better. It's really not all how you set it up. You can't turn junk into quality.

I'm only picking on you, because you made some good choices with the rest of your mods. IDK what happened with your suspension decision-making. Megan coilovers belong on ricer Civics that still suck.

Take it easy on the fella. Honestly, the hp/tq numbers down to the .0001 RPM caught my eye more than his coilover setup

thanks cant really get more out of our little engines, hope that when i get the motor built i can squezze a bit more out of her, chip motor sports will probably get my build project :bling: love chips work

Love my K&N Typhoon, tried the Weapon R and didn't do much.

those intakes suck. ive had both versions of the k&n hot air intake. stock, aem/ms, or revi are the only good intakes

You lost around 10HP with that little noisemaker.

A link to this thread belongs in here somewhere:

.

The Typhoon sounds good though, will check out the link.

Thanks

This is my first rotary and only had it for 13months and just started trying out different things.My next mod will be coils but BHR over here are pricey.

then save up. bhr are the only ones that dont crap out on you!!! unless you want a blown motor, good coils verse the price of a new motor ?

garbage!!! save up, like the other members said aem,ms,racing beat only good and proven hp increases for our cars, get rid of that intake like yesterday, only hurting your engine, put the stock one back on till you can get a good intake, then header,race pipe silencer,and single exhaust to save on weight, or light weight dual exhaust like reamamiya, then you start to see how your 8 moves, cobb if you can get one,

I've done many of the mods listed in this thread and while they're all great I have to say until I did this mod sitting in the driver's seat with a helmet was quite unpleasant.

I have a light weight 20# wheelchair that fits just right behind the drivers seat, so I guess my seat height is solved.

NObody gonna let me get on track so, I have enough head room for the street.

They'd really freak when they see I have a MOMO brake stick for my left hand; I actually have much better brake control now on a 6 speed auto.

I have instant jump on brake whereas before I'd have to hover on brake or gas while waiting for driver in front to decide where he's going.

Well now for something completely different; there is no such thing. On an RX8 it's only all of the little things that add up to a little bit of meh. There is no single magic bullet. Even a magazine full of them doesn't add up to much. If forced to pick something then I'd say suspension balance/handling because without that an RX8 is dead meat in every other regard. Might as well put the magic bullet into the roof of your mouth ...

BHR ignition. Reliability and peace of mind.

You can get the AEM Ignition Kit from Wankelshop in Germany :)

Best mod for me I guess is my BHR coil, BHR midpipe(btw thanks Charles for fast and free shipping to Hawaii), and Cobb with custom tune.

45 to 50 psi in the tires feels like a hp increase....... many downfalls maybe 1 uprising

BHR ignition setup.

R Magic exhaust. Love that thing!

Why? No ignition necessary anymore? ;-)

Already covered in Post 169 ...

Turbo Protege5 :rofl:
DQ's DD was Pro5 for 12years. Loved that little thing.

best mod: BHR. But it's barely a 'mod'; it just ensures the ignition works the way it should.

Best 'mod' for me I'd have to say is the poly engine & diff mounts. Really tightened up perceived slop in the drivetrain.

Gonna have to go with BHR ignition or the AEM cold air intake.

Single side exhaust, large muffler has been removed.
It is still comfortably loud but sounds profoundly immoral and wicked! :evil_laug

Child seats. Because all real race cars them. The rest are poseurs.

I think you out a word in there somewhere.

Best mod ever for me was Mickey Thompson drag radials, because the car was super slow without them.

I'd probably have to go with coilovers... can't imaging being stock height anymore

For but dyno gains 4.77 final drive (S1) followed closely (and surprisingly) by the AP underdrive pulley.

I see the Exedy flywheel is no lighter than stock

Right now, I am rocking my AutoExe steering wheel. Recommended to everyone who wants to keep the functionality of the stock steering wheel but have better grip.

The flywheel doesn't move translationally. It rotates, so the mass of it doesn't matter as much as the moment of inertia.

The Exedy flywheel may be as heavy as stock in terms of mass, but if it's moving the mass closer to the centre, that will still decrease its moment of inertia and give you the benefits of a 'lighter'(as in less moment of inertia) flywheel. The stock flywheel supposedly has a lot of its mass on the outside edge.

For reference, a theoretical thin ring with mass m and radius r has a moment of inertia of mr^2, while a theoretical thin disk with the same mass and radius only has half of the moment of inertia of the thin ring.

And for daily driving, too 'light' of a flywheel isn't really a good thing. It's really easy to stall and you can lose speed a bit too quickly when shifting and going up a hill.

putting a stock exhaust and suspension back on it.

Best most recent “MOD”
 

The most recent “MODs” I’ve done to the 2007 NA S1 were the new Ryan Rotary coils.They are a plug and play with no adapters.Also,I put a new aluminum coil bracket on from RX8 Performance coupled with new RED 8.5 mm MSD wires.

IGN-1A coils with proper dwell adjustment is BY FAR the most noticeable performance augmentation for any 8 not already running them. (Always use NGK OEM plugs!)

OE coils are fine as long as they function properly. So no, you won’t gaining anything above that other than reliability. Even the Pro Formula Mazda race cars with Renesis engine still used the OE coils

@jcbrx8 God, that batt. relocation couldn't be more half assed... seriously, just run the + to the starter bolt, then a wire from the starter to the fusebox. Saves you 4ft o wire and a nasty duct tape look.
My single best mod is a screen in the ashtray. I put there data about coolant, oil, afr, timing, CEL's, and anything else I may want.

Coils

There is no comparison of IGN-1A coils to OE. Yes, the newest version work just fine (took them what, 4 attempts to get it right?), if "just fine" is what you're after. Otherwise, if you aren't running them/haven't experienced the difference for yourself then maybe just hush up.
And just to be clear: if you're not gonna adjust the dwell, there is very little reason to install these coils (other than longevity).
