Hey everyone. Just got an 05 rx8 4 speed automatic. Luv da car, not as much as my other baby but i can get it there with ur guys help i hope

 

Hello there, fellow Texan.

What's your 'other' baby?

 

06 eclipee gt

 

Welcome to the addiction.

 

Lol thanks guys.

 

Wat simple mods can i get to see sum gains

 

I am in a good mood so I will not flame you this time.

I suggest that you read the forums, there is a wealth of knowledge here.
MOST IMPORTANT! READ YOUR OWNERS MANUAL!

I recommed looking around on the internet for videos/diagrams on how the rotary works.
There are quite a few threads on here for new owners that you should read.

The first mod I think you should get are the Racing Beat Oil cooler and A/C condenser screens. It is a small investment that could save you alot of money in the long run.

I recommend that you add a proper oil pressure gauge (the one in the eight is a dummy), a good water temp gauge and and oil temp gauge.

I would invest in some oil to keep in the car at all times for top offs.

The BHR ignition kit would be another good investment as it pays for it's self in about 2 changes of the coils.
As for power mods unless you are willing to spend alot of money and go FI you are only looking to get 200-210 to the wheels, assuming you have every bolt on, a good tune and an engine that has good compression (and a manual transmission).

Welcome to the forum and If you are going to make it around here,
use the search button!
Ok so I flamed you a little bit.

 

Lol its fine bro, i should of known better. I post alot on club4g forum. How much do those parts cost? Sorry for being a noob

 

The gauges really depend on what set up you go with and I don't remember what the screens cost, just google them.
The BHR kit is around 525.
All the bolt on parts you will need will cost you a chunk tho, and since I just saw that you have and automatic, the only thing that will get you close to 210-220 to the wheels is FI, which isn't cheap.

 

Dang that sux but oh well, when i want something i get it. Ive spent thousands on my eclipse and now its the rx8s turn. I guess ill wait on headers since getting a turbo kit will come with them. Mods i can think of right now i want is carbon fiber lip kit, greddy exhaust, sum nice konigs or enkies, intake, test pipe, maybe gauges and maybe a hood. Do they have a reflash for the rx8?

 

If you want to make power out of it, sell it and buy a manual if you can.

And freaking search some of this stuff. There is a wealth of info in these forums, just look.

 

Welcome.

2 links in my sig. I recommend starting with the $100 one. It is what I learned the hardish way over the first year. For a lot of power though, forced induction is the best bet, however I do not know a darn thing about autos, or if they can take the power..
