What is on your AT RX-8 wish list?
I hear it asked time and time again .... "What should I get for my car to increase performance?" The typical responce is:
1. CAI & Performance Exhaust
2. Cobb Access Port (lovingly refered to as an AP)
3. Midpipe
4. FI (Turbo, Super Charger, Nitrous)
Then it tends to erode into a discussion of which ones to get first and who makes the best one. For this thread I hope to keep it more generic and not get into brands. I also would like to keep this focused on AT (some of it crosses over but let the MT guys wallow in their own junk). I also don't want to limit it just to power mods but to everything (suspension, engine, gagues, etc.). I will try to compile a complete list of everything that is mentioned.
So what is on your wish list, and why?

Eh, i guess i'll play along ![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
For the next few months I'll be sticking with external mods sooooo in terms of performance mod's i'm looking at this:
- Midpipe/HiFlo (which ever i get my hands on first)
- An ignition upgrade (be it MSD wires and plugs or the whole bhr kit)
- An AP (
)
- Greddy SE Exhaust
- Tranny fluid swap to royal purple
- Rear sway bar by Progress and Front Sway by Racing Beat
- Mazdaspeed/Koni yellow shocks
- Pulley kit (haven't decided what company)
that's it for now - taking it slowly to see how my car reacts to these mods then perhaps FI

I am presently trying to decide WFT I want to mod now. The only item I know for sure is a beefed up tranny.
