![Question](https://www.rx8club.com/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Hello I'm new on this forum. I'm from Belgium, Europe.
I have some questions about what I should do to upgrade my RX-8 and which brands I should use. I only want the best :D
Which brand should I take for:
- New full brake system and steel braided brake lines
- Suspension kit
- Intake and exhaust
- Engine oil
What I want to create is a nicer driving RX-8 with a bit more horsepower and torque.
RX-8: Year 2005, 192HP version. What can I do to upgrade it naturally aspirated? Turbo tuning is the last thing I want to do, so thinking in advance that the engine is also prepared for a turbo within a year or so.
Thank you :D

+1 to the above. Buy a high power version to start with.
If you're going to go turbo, then do that first. No point in making naturally aspirated mods then throwing them away after the turbo. Ask how I know
You don't need to change the brakes, stock brakes are plenty strong even for racing. Stainless lines make sense, goodridge makes some.

Life After 8K RPM....
+1 ^ on above advise
in the interim, remove the CAT from your car that's probably the best and cheapest mod
But yeah! go for 231 hp version 6port manual.. Off the bat its better, quicker, faster and more reliable.
