Congrats. I just picked up my RX8 about 3 weeks ago. Mine is an '06 Galaxy Grey Mica Grand Touring, with the Black interior with Red inserts, 9 speaker Bose system (no navigation)..completely stock and only 13,000 miles. I come from a back ground of '67 Camaro, '74 Nova, '88 Mustang GT Convert., '02 Mustang GT Convert. This RX8 is a completely different type of car, as is the Wankel Rotary engine, but I'm loving it.

Sorry bro, can't help you out there. There are a ton of threads with various topics. You might have to do a little searching to find the right ones, but I'm sure they're there. The only mods I'm planning on doing is a short shifter and exhaust. After modding my Mustang over and over again, I feel it's completely useless to spend $1000's for only a few hp gains. Not worth it to me...the only reason I might get the exhaust is I want a different tone, not because I think I'm getting more hp out of it...But that's just me. Good luck!

Like Jsjjjr says, why?
Useless, you will not get any real HPs
Our car is a luxury sports car, not a race car
Once u have leather heated seats, cup holders, ac, stereo, etc it becomes a bling bling car and not a fast car

You sound like most females, they marry a guy and then spend all their time trying to change the man
why?
so u buy a sports car and then try to change it by modding it, why? Useless.
Would you marry a virgin good girl religion fanatic and they try to make her into a **** star/****?
same difference.

With that being said, I would do mods that do BLING BLING ( not for hp gain)
in no particular order
:

greddy sp2 exhaust with mide pipe double resonated (looks and sound)

sr motorsports air intake polished cnc (looks)

strakes (looks)

vents (looks)

radio ****


rotors slotted drilled gold (looks)

tow hitch ( pull my bike) esp to the dragon

front grill mesh (looks)


eye lids (looks)

rear top aeros (looks)

lowering springs

led light bulbs all round (looks)

ipod/aux/mp3 input (sound)

in trunk under lid box ( ???)



paint calipers gold with rx8 (looks)
install footwell lights (looks)

install puddle lites (looks)


front fog lites install (looks) and more light , yes I already have one set, want 2

Just FYI, it is not legal to have forward facing red or blue lights on your vehicle. Ask Agcutie about that one.

You can do exhaust for sound.
Mazdaspeed and AEM intakes are the same and supposedly make the most power.

I'm not sure where Lewisville is, and I'm too lazy to look it up, but if there is an autocross near, you should go.

I can vouch for the blue lights, Bulbs cost $30, ticket cost $300. Officer wouldn't give me a fix it ticket. At least that's in OK.
