I'm the proud new owner of my 2006 rx8 shinka and I need any advice you guys will give me. I love this car and I want to know what's the best for my car. Synthetic or mineral oil? What kind and wat brand of oil? Best gas and premix to use and best ratio. What are the best brands of aftermarket dealers for the rotary engine. I need to know what's best for my car and Just anything you can tell me about maintaining and keeping my engine running at optimal performance for as long as possible. I plan to make this baby fast I've been reading around the posts but I can find what I'm looking for or else I can't understand half of it, I'm only 18 I don't know all the tech lingo. Please any advice will be greatly appreciated

Also, make sure you read the “stickies” in each sub-forum

And please, research BEFORE making a new thread

 

An 18 year old who recognizes that he doesn't know everything is ahead of the curve.

Adding some generalities to RX8Soldier's specifics...

Patience, Grasshopper.
Devote an evening or two to browsing the forums, reading threads with titles that grab your attention.

As far as making it fast, anything reasonably affordable (e.g., exhaust) will add very little power. To add a lot of power you need to add a blower, which is expensive and can become a life style.

hey, those look familiar damn it!
Like the fact that you included the titles however, so I guess I will copy it out!

 

Thanks guys definately helped, where would be the best place to start upgrading my engine?

 

Exhaust and intake would be the first. It will add hp and it will improve performance as well.

 

depending how much money you have. if you have 6k laying around, I would just slap a supercharger in it.
