Hey guys,





I'm new here. I recently moved to asia and needed to pick a car. My choice was between an Evo-IX or the RX-8. I picked the 8. MT, titatium gray, leather interior, no sunroof.



I know absolutely nothing about rotaries.... So I'm here to learn I'm gonna beef up the car soon but I'm thinking about the 3 years service + parts warranty. What do u guys suggest to beef up first?



And has anyone tried that bolt-on turbo kit by greddy?





Chaos

Hi & welcome!



I can't speak personally about the Greddy bolt on, however, there was a guy at the Quad State BBQ that just took place that had it on his car. You can find him on rx8club.com and his forum name is BigOLundh. I'm sure he'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.

FE3Boost had one on there. I believe his engine blew after a GReddy issued ECU remap. I'd see if I could get in touch with him.

Welcome to Nopistons. I'm getting an exhaust put on mine in 2 days. I'm happy with it as it is, but want the rotary tone from it.
