Thinking about RX8

Hey guys
So yeah, I own a WRX...ive put too many kms on it so im selling it. ive always liked the 350z and RX8s ever since they came out, although im dumb towards them. Is the 1.3i RX8 N/A? and if so how does the block handle boost? i know the regular wrx just dont have the guts for major hp (300hp+) without some re-enforcement. How much can u do to one of these stock blocks before you should start worrying?

Thanks guys

We don't have blocks. We have rotor housings.

You better do some reading.

400 poines is the limit of other items.

It depends upon the tune.

The jury is still out on long term reliabilty.

Don't tell him that! What if he wants to buy an RX8?? Better yet what if he wants to buy MY RX8?

Let the guy make his own decisions!!
