Hi, im a new member of this club and i just got my 8 two days ago.
what would u do with 1300 $ on the stock rx8?
- body kit
- Exhaust system
- Rims
Any ideas?

Mazsport ignition, racing beat flash, mazsport dual resonated midpipe. I'm a little over but those are the best for the money

 

used midpipe -$200
Lowering Springs- $100
used catback- $400
Short Shifter- $200
K&N typhoon- $200
Use the other $200 for gas.

 

However the install on the springs is another 300 bucks and won't give any performance unless you match them with a proper set of struts (tokico/koni), a normal midpipe will be loud as hell, and the only other worthwhile mod on your list is the shortshifter which will cost about 280 shipped.

 

used midpipe+1
used exhaust
airbox mod
racing beat flash
jdm clear corners
lowering springs

 

Depends on where you are located, if in the snow belt and you intend to drive it in the winter...winter rims and snow tires will be the best $1000 or so you will ever spend.

 

Roth IRA.

 

LMFAO
okay Dad...

 

I like my mods and those prices are what I paid including shipping/installation. Im glad you would choose 3 out of 5 though

 

Is the car paid off? You can make extra principal payments..

 

+1 on that, bc now Im 8 grand upside down in a car that shoots flames....YAY..

 

ZEX Nitrous Kit, Eibach Pro Kit Springs, Racing Beat Sway Bars.

 

save it for a year of gas........wait, I kid, that would last you idk, 3 months? hahahah

Best performance for the money is nitrous.

 

Tint all around $100-$150
Springs (install yourself, is easy; no aftermarket shocks needed if just DD)$150
Wheels $1000 or so

Welcome and GL!

 

If I had a grand to work with, I feel I would get a new exhaust system. I've thought the Racing Beats sounds great with our car. Short shifter would probably be part of it as well.

 

if you can do the install yourself... I'd do zex nitrous + Acessport

At this point, no offense to racing beat, but I'd feel better/more secure buying the accessport. While the racing beat flash is great, you could get your flash to be better fitted to your car with similar results and have the advantage of not having to pay more later if mazda reflashes your car without permission or something. When I found out about accessport, I pretty much decided that it was a better option because of that. Though I might worry too much... I'm sure many have had the flash with no issues.

Here's a better question though... with that $1300 do you want performance, appearance, little of both, or what? If you wanted a tad bit of both, you could get a decent set of light rims or if you wanted to lower the car a bit it would look nice and with the right set up it handle better as well.

 

get the accessport and a lightweight flywheel, like fidanza.

 

I feel like an idiot, but I just NOW learned what the AcessPORT is. I want it.

 

Don't feel like an idiot... at least you took the effort to search unlike some people.

 

What year and trim did you get? Does it have spoiler? Appearance package?

 

Lol, I guess I am 1 up on a few things, or something....
