    Best mod for $100

    if you can find gauge rings, that would be a great choice. last second-hand set that i saw went for $80-90 IIRC. i am with DeanSweet on that one. i love my gauge rings. they were only $25-30, i think, when i bought them. i could double that money if i could bear to part with them...

    i would buy one and keep it bone stock. they handle great but lack in the power department and the after market is expensive. they are alright bone stock though.

    New Here From Va

    i believe it is all the same staff there still. alamo built an rx8 for a guy who lives near me. the work looked great, but it only came out to 250 at the wheels with turbo, fuel system, stand-alone, meth, and exhaust. it always seemed to radiate ridiculous heat, even with the hood closed. i...

    rotary performance is now rx7.com. good shop. i have been wanting to go out to alamo rotary, but they are expensive. the builder there is supposed to be a rotary genius.

    happy new years

    it's been a rough year, but we all made it through. the rotors kept turning one way or another this year, so we should all be thankful for that. so, having said that, i would like to wish a happy 2010 to all of my rotary buddies out there. may our 401k's take a much smaller beating this year.

    Need advice!!

    5 x 114.3. offset should be around a +40 on an 8 inch wide rim. start with 18's and work your way up if you want bigger. 19's look pretty good on the rx8. here is a site that has some really rare used rims. it is on the 18's in the same bolt pattern as the rx8, but just be sure to watch the...

    Is this a good deal?

    it's a decent deal. the body is in good condition other than the couple of dents on the front. i would buy it as a complete rebuild from the ground up. if you did it that way, you would just be taking away all of the crappy work that the last guy did (assuming there is some crappy work there)...

    Just bought a Mazda RX8

    i love anything racingbeat as well. i've got the racingbeat FC turbo-back on my turbo II. it's an awesome exhaust and still pretty quiet compared to other exhausts because of how solid the construction is (heavy wall pipe, good resonator, etc.). i would recommend that over a borla because i like...

    Just bought a Mazda RX8

    a 3-4 inch dual on a naturally aspirated motor is kind of a bad thing. you need some back-pressure or the motor won't run very well. http://www.corksport.com/04-09-rx8/ http://www.rx7.com/store/rx8/rx8power.html this should cover most of the parts that you are looking for. if you are looking...

    Lets Rev Them Up!!!!

    not really a whole lot of mods for ignition and intake if you are staying n/a. corksport makes an intake tube that could give some gains and you could build an airbox. with ignition, you need to go into management mods to control different types. other coils are not as strong as the FC coils...
