You serious?
Ok....I'm done laughing. There is no Rx-8 that has a turbo from the factory. Unless you buy one from a private seller that bought and got one tuned on his car, you're not getting one. There are SC and TC's available for the car but you need to get it professionally tuned.
The only "rare" ones are shinkas and 40th anniversary edition cars which just have different paint codes on the exterior and interior. That's the only difference. From '04-'08 they're all the same practically speaking. '09 engines have an extra oil injector and higher oil pressure. The '09 R3 model has sports suspension and rim upgrades. That's about it.

The only problem im really havin with the FE is the stereo sys. its kind of hard to customize the deck and other things with a set up they have. i mean is there any thing that can be done with that?
