Honestly
- Black tape over light
- Unplug light
- Buy a Cobb Ap

Well I guess that's relative, however most people are more than satisfied with the Mazda Maniac tune

Not in moderation and with respect. It's a gateway drug. keep it at a 55 shot and you'll be fine. BTW it's illegal to use in Ontario, not sure about Quebec.

On no you didn't just say that ..... is it too hard for you to search.
Mmmm I would raise your flame shields to full power.

another tip: don't buy aftermarket parts on ebay. You get what you pay for.

Alright, now it just sounds like you're whining and being lazy
I'll answer your questions, but do NOT get mad for people giving you advice to actually read and educate yourself. You'll find life a lot simpler if you actually learn to answer your own questions for yourself...

CEL- get a cobb AccessPORT to remove, or else use black tape
Chip- none. ziltch. zippo. Of course there are chips, but you're talking huge dollar amounts, and only the pro's use them
nitrous- like any power increase, it is bad for the engine. However, with proper upkeep and understanding of nitrous, many people here have used it and have had no issues. They just understand and accept that the life of their engine is under threat

now, I strongly suggest you start reading every sticky in the sub-forums that apply to questions you have, learn to use the search function (click the google link in my sig) and educate yourself in the basics of the rotary

edit: I see I took to long typing...

Ok rx8soldier thanks for educating me, i have an rx8 and im very happy with it and i do like this forum because we all talk about the same car, so il search more definitly.

Il buy AEM intake and cobb accessPORT and already bought the test pipe, no nitrous for me and no chip.

Im considering buying the axial short shift, heard alot of good things about it.

I repeat: you get what you pay for. It's cheaper because they cut corners somewhere. A quality midpipe will cost roughly 2-3x that. I don't mean to be a buzzkill. I know the excitement you're feeling and it gets intensified when you get new parts. But it will pay to take a bit of time and make sure before buying stuff. As the others have said, this is not a cheap car to own and the aftermarket is especially so.

Well thanks for advice azzuro i will make sure to post feedback on this test pipe if its good or not.

But is a test pipe only suppose to be a piece of soft metal to let the air pass without any trouble ? (need to have a hole for the sensor but it do have one) i mean i could make one myself with a bit of welding skill, test pipe is no big deal, my uncle bought the same for his mazdaspeed3 and it work, no problem.

correct me if im wrong
