i like the fact that even the non-wheel lock lugs need the special adapter, so all of them are like wheel locks...

so the time to start thinking for my first mods is coming up so I need some opinions...
Option A: Midpipe and COBB + maybe catback
Option B: Summer Tires + maybe rimz


Obviously this is for like a month from now

Well ... I think will be able to have these last for one more year no problem...


I am actually kinda scared to push the car to see where the limit is (cause it is so far compared to what I have experienced up to this point ... yes I am still learning this car) ... so I think I'll be able to live with all seasons for the time being....

The rx-8 makes every other car I drive feel sloppy

BUT ... I can't even begin to comprehend what it can do on summer rubber ....

since you just got the car, I would just go with simple mods that don't take anything away from the car... like axial flow short shifter, LED lights, window tint

handling-wise, it's probably not a good idea to get a new suspension system or parts when you're not familiar with the stock car's limits and forcing yourself to live with worsened ride quality and maintenance

power- cobb if you're ditching the cat., intake when you'd like a bit more response and think stock is too quiet for your preference, exhaust for a deeper note.. or you can just leave parts stock- not much power to gain here for the $$$ involved

Cobb+midpipe will net you the most power gains while NA....if you want more power, you need to go FI

there's power to be had in a proper cold air intake... not much but there definitely is, especially on the top end.

which one do you want? how about if i don't wanna trade my hoopty because she is my money saver....how about if i take my mechanic to install them, and i will pay half of the fee...she probably will install it for cheap anyway...do you check how much it will cost you to install it in different store?

dont' spend your money...if you want, spend on midpipe, catback, and COBB because you can save those upgrades for the turbo in the future, and dont buy intake...
