The Ultimate N/A setup for the 8
I'm looking for personal opinions and or factual accounts of what everyone thinks the best naturally aspirated set for the RX-8 would be i.e the best exhaust, headers, intake suspension etc. Later.

That's not bad AKR, but I think this might be better suited for his needs....
First you want to get one of these since we all know the RX8 is not very fuel friendly:

I wouldn't recommend buying it from here though. Try getting a tin can and just making it yourself.
Next, you want to go with one of these for a better sounding exhaust:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/3-5-D...QQcmdZViewItem
If it doesn't fit, don't worry. It's ok. Just knock out any black plastic around your bumper that is restricting the pipe and install away.
Last, you'll need a new intake filter:

There ya go, that should do the trick.
All these together should get the job done. Let us know how it goes and show us some pics. Go get em tiger!

this is a SUPER vague question since we dont' know exactly what your personal tastes are. Here's my best attempt:
- Intake (pick your favorite, I'm partial to Racing Beat)
- Exhaust (pick the one that SOUNDS best, performance differences are minnimal)
- Axial Flow Short Shifter . An amazing mod all M/T owners should look into
- RP supercat
- Suspension upgrade. (depends on how much you want to spend) You can do simple spring / strut combo such as Koni / S-Tech or HKS coilovers.

Pick up the latest Turbo Mag. That has the ultimate NA that I know of.
FD rotor housings
Panhead Apex seals
Custom built intake w/ twin throttles
HUGE injectors
Peripheral port
Motec engine management
Of course with that p-port, dont expect to drive that thing anywhere you might have to stop anywhere.

Thanks. What I was asking for was people's personal opinions on what they would do to, add on, or replace on the 8 to get the best N/A setup. I was just looking for various combinations of parts and procedures.
