Any views on whats best for the rx8's first mod???

 

track day .... driver mod is always the best mod

I would go in this order

1. tires
2. BHR ignition

then split off power or handling (my recommendations are in parentheses) or a mix of both

Power
Catback (ms v 2, rb, greddy, hks single ... many more)
midpipe (bhr)
header (rb)
Intake (AEM)

Handling (depends on what you want form or function ... i go for function)
Springs (RB)
Shocks (Koni Yellows adjustables)
Sway Bars (RB)
Endlinks (EVO-R)
wider rims + tires (18 by 9.5 +35 is pretty agressive go for 165 width Direzza Z1 Star Specs) ... by the time you get down here, you will prolly need tires again
body bracing + roll cage if you want to get crazy look into GT Spec

after that go for FI ... Pettit is popular as a supercharger
Greddy is popular for turbo and has the most support ... i cannot give you a recommendation here as you need to decide how much headache you want

last thing is new engine as you will blow it up after FI .... Personally, I would go for a 13b-re ... but that is a totally different can of worms

best thing you can do is search and make up your own mind ... take my recommendations and anyone elses with a grain of salt ... in the end YOU need to decide what you wants from your OWN car


oh and this is in the wrong section

 

Just a quick question. Why would you go for the 13b-re rather than the 13b-rew? I know the re has a couple stronger points on it but most of those can be used on the rew too.

 

its really just preference of a more peaky power curve thats all

 

Clear corners with stealth bulbs.

 

Also you may look for Lightweight Pulleys, Lightweight Flywheel these may give you little more reving speed

 

^but not really worth the price.

150 for AP Pulleys netting appx. 1-2hp
100-300 for a flywheel depending on brand, once again netting very few hp

These are two mods I wish I never bought.

 

Yes I think the same.. That was only a suggestion btw S R motorsports says car gains 12 hp with their Underdrive Power Pulleys but I still think its not true anyway..
