i just sold my 93 foxbody mustang v8 with 400whp, For a 2007 RX8 6-speed stick, I really wanted something foreign and different. where do i start on this car? im very familer with working on cars but ive never touched a rotary engine or a mazda for that matter. whats the best for these cars? best ignition system? best performance? best way to treat it? im really intrested in this new rotary i got my hands on and want to learn as much as i can about it. anything you guys can help me out on would be greatly appreciated. I pick up the car this monday

What are you intentions with the car? Im sure some people a have made big numbers with the renisis motor and there are tons of parts and upgrades for it, but most who want to go huge, would probly recommend engine swapping a earlier model turbo engine in.

if you want a good ignition i would recommend black halo racing (BHR) they have one of the best for your money. also if you dont plan on an air intake anytime soon i would at least get rid of the snorkel going to the airbox. youll notice some power gain with that gone.

My intentions for the car is to really make it faster and louder (not loud enough to pissoff cops) but loud enough, as cheap as possible. Also I can't seem to find a MAF sensor adapter for this RX8 so I can put in a CAI

I also think this RX8 has an aftermarket exhaust on it (which would be great) from what i can see, can any one show a picture of a stock exhaust on a 2007 touring. and thanks for the info so far.

will this work with the RX8?

i know accessport will indeed work for the 8 but they stoped making the model for the 8. only one person sales them unless you buy from another 8 member. this is the person who still sales the 8 model and is also the main person who tunes them. fair warning he can be hard headed but is a nice guy. http://www.mazdamaniac.com/cobb/accessport.htm
also if you get his tune it will give you full potential out of BHRs ignition.

if you buy a new intake it will either reuse the stock MAF tube or will have a new one that is same size (approximatly) as the stock one. no adapter needed.

Im sure a lot of people a have created big numbers while using enuresis motor and there are lots of parts and upgrades for this, but most who want to go huge, would probably recommend engine replacing a earlier design turbo engine within.
