So I just bought an rx-8 for a daily driver. I realize that the car has little power-increase potential, which is precisely why I decided to buy it. I needed a fun-to-drive daily driver that I cant really modify and will therefore hopefully stay reliable for a long time.
Having said this, do any of the rx-8 guys on the forums have any suggestions on proven suspension mods for the car? The car is amazingly fun to drive, but it could probably use a little more roll-stiffness. This chassis is so stiff that I think it could handle even better with a few minor suspension tweaks.
Has anyone done basic mods like cat-back or intakes to these cars? Although those are the most I would mod the engine, I would probably do them if it made any difference. What about noise level with cat-back though? I know these rotaries can sould like pissed-off chainsaws with certain systems, and I really dont want that. I have to listen to it everyday.
Thanks in advance.
