As I said in my first post, trade it for a MT dude.

The swap will cost you just as much if not MORE than going FI.

Going FI in an AT will yield as much power as an N/A MT.

Or get a different car, this is not built for straight line speed.

Nitrous.
Easy_E1 has been experimenting with it and his little 4port is putting down almost 200hp to the wheels! (that beats out most M/Ts)

what car did you drive before the 8?
just wondering where this 'need' for more hp is coming from. The 8 is not a fast car but it is very quick. stay up in the high revs and you'll see how quick this thing can really be.

Converse with Phil's 8 as he has a Pettit s/c on his AT and is very pleased with his setup.

Most of the time I think that your posts are a little harsh, but in this case I have to agree with you. He even got arrogant and pushy with Jedi who was trying to help him. This is the type of 16 year old that belongs in a Honda.

OH BURN!!!!!











Well look. You should search. We get like ******* 100's of these threads of how AT AT AT AT AT AT AT's are slow and I need mods. It's best if you PM people with the modded Auto's to find out what you really want.

Seriously, **** off, some of us who are trying to help, Like JEDI54, and you post bullshit like this, what do you expect. Next thing you'll do is make a thread of the Brown **** that's on your Dipstick.

Yes, because the Audi r8 is slow.

Honestly dude save up and go FI (Super/Turbo charged) but for now go with a midpipe and Mazda Maniac AP(You can pm him), these come with tunes. Intake if you must, but think about smaller things to like upgrading your ignition (BHR), Wider tires.....IDK. You say you just want to go fast as possible lol, how fast? 200mph drag racing fast which would require you to swap out the engine lol, or being able to keep up with a TT350Z or ferrari fast. Dude, the question just seems to be a bit to broad and I really don't know exactly what you want.

500whp, swap to a 3 rotor and MT tranny then single turbo. Really depends on what you do with the car and how much you can afford.

You can find tons of info on parts and tuning even engine builds on this forum just know what you want. Hope that helps. I'm swapping to a manual because of the price I bought my car for and mileage that was on it and there was no other rx8 manuals that were in the price range and I already wasted tons of money on my Single Turbo 350z which I don't really drive anymore and I'm not complaining about the AT tranny and WHP numbers but I know what my goal is for the car and this is why I'm swapping and I see potential in the rx8 not to mention this car rides so much more comfortable than my 350 and has back seats lol. Like I said, I think it really depends on what you like to do with the car whether its a Daily driver, Track car, or drag racing etc. Its just so much you can do with this car. Oh yea, don't worry about that swapping out the turbo from
a rx7 bullshit. I was on another thread where they said that **** which was really a waste of time from non-important people. Go talk to real people who really race and not just talk. I'm fairly new to this rx8 **** but know a good amount about cars considering I built up my 350 which is gutted with just roll cages and Bride racing seats and a single turbo which I did myself and some tuning. You got to remember that this **** takes time... no joke, money out the *** lol is what I always say.

My first suggestion would be to read all the available information on this forum to improve the 8. Pick and choose what you think will work for you. From your tone and posts, you will not do this and expect someone to just come along and give you all your answers.
You will never be happy so why not just sell the car and get something that will make you happy.

my point exactly. You feel me fail, lmfao..... No homo

If you are not going to help or suggest to read up on the other threads then why comment in the first place unless it's really needed to be said. You're not funny.
