What are the best modifications to do on the car for cheap?

What are the best performance and aesthetic modifications that I can do myself on the RX8?

Not too expensive, not too tricky to figure out how to do it...

O.o
I don't know why, but I like that face. Makes me laugh every time I see it.

Oh, to answer your question, the best mod is to search and decide what best suits you. As a matter of fact, it's best to search on these forums, PERIOD. You haven't seemed to grasp that yet. Do you need assistance with the search feature (again)?

Otherwise, I'd say pink seats. Those could be good for a mod.

EDIT: second thought, I don't think you'll grasp it. Just post your dumb questions here https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-discuss...llowed-208221/

I will never understand why people find it necessary to "mod" their car for the sake of making a change. Here are two questions:

What negative quality or characteristic does your car have?

From that (probably short) list: Which is the cheapest and least tricky for you to tackle?

There's your mod.

I do read the stickies =/ they don't say everything. Like when I had the issue with the car not starting, everyone was saying it's the ignition coils. No one suggested that it could be the spark plugs which ended up being the problem.. And as far as I saw, no one seemed to have the same spark plug issue on the stickies...

If you researched enough, you'd have a slight idea that it may be the spark plugs. We took into consideration that you already checked the plugs since it was logical. DERP

Tintinja:

I happen to have written a thread that lists most of the basic directions you can go for modding, and what you need to consider before doing any of them: https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-discuss...rx-8-a-233937/
(You would have found that if you had actually read the stickies.)


In the end, modding is something that is very personal to each person, unless you are fixing a problem that your car has, but that doesn't appear to be the case here.

If you have a specific question about a specific mod, post in that thread or in the https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-discuss...llowed-208221/ thread, or the thread for the specific mod that you find.

Just asking a generic "please be my car's owner for me because I can't make decisions on my own" isn't actually going to get you any pleasant responses OR any pleasant mod results. We don't know what you want out of your car, we don't know what you find appealing, we don't know your car's history, and we certainly don't know your aesthetic taste.
