Cool Where to begin!?!?

What up, im new to this site, new to mazdas, and def new to rotary. I'm picking up my newly bought '04 RX-8 this weekendand i gotta say im def hype about it. Ive been reading alot of the forums trying to figure out where to start with mods for my car. Alot of people seem to give good info aslong as they're not biased to what they own and trying to save every penny they can. So money not being an issue, what mods would be sugguested first!?!?!? any opinions are good but links to sites are GREAT !! Thanks err-body,1

You definitely need to spend some more time looking around this site. And yes, the Renesis can easily handle nitrous.

Yeah i heard good things about Rotary in general working very well with nitrous...like i said the site is very informative,but there seems to be a emphasis on saving money w/ most people... personally i dont think $$$ should be your major concern(with in reason) when trying to mod your car performance/audio/aero whatever...thanks for the info though!!!
ps: ive been workin 12 hours a day seven days a week, midnight shift, since the night of the superbowl, i dont usually have to much time to be "studying" on the internet, any company sites you can direct me to would be very helpful,thanks,1
