Newbie, With Lots Of Questions
So, i just bought an rx-8 and i really cant wait for it to arrive since in my country there is none yet, I am from Guatemala in central america.
Since this is my first car,... and need I to say, my first rotary car, I really have bunch of Qs,
what should i know about the car?(I've already done some homework but still there might be somethings that only expirience can teach)
where can i find a good place to buy stuff for it?
what kind of mods do u suggest?
since im gonna need everything shipped are there any places u can tell me about?
Well Any Info,advice or what ever u can tell me is going to be extremely well received.
Thanks!

Do yourself a big favor before you get flamed. Do a simple search in the appropriate forums for the info you're requesting. Much of it has already been discussed and re-discussed over and over and over........ Oh and welcome to the club!

I think he wants us to summarize the entire forum into one post!
If you want mods, try looking in the photogallery/multimedia area, exterior, interior and aftermarket areas for some ideas.

Damn, you get 98 octane down there ?!?! Is it just me or does California really suck that bad. The best we can get (without dropping $6/gallon) is 91 octane.

Like everybody else said you may want to read some of the other posts before asking to many questions, but ill try to point you in a helpfull direction. Clear corners, strakes, and Richard Paul Short shifter. These seem to be the most popular things. There are many other choices so check out the specific sections of the forum for the topic or parts you are looking to improve on your car.

The Vendors Sections
Keep it simple, always start with Handling First, Braking Second, and Performance Third. So maybe some upgraded sway bars, shock tower bars, springs, shocks, etc. It all depends on what you plan to use your car for. The RX8 looks great lowered with tinted windows. :p
