    WTF??? rear spoilers??? get yourself a better car.. that car requires too much money to even make decent power. On the N/A side it barely makes power(I/H/E) i believe it makes less progress than a civic with the same setup. On the turbo side it still takes too much money and you still make under 300whp. You also have to worrie about overheating. Stick to some decent rims and suspension setups.

    Ummm, it's a 1.3L all motor that makes 238hp. 'Nough said. There's some things you can do make it even faster. Go to www.rx8club.com

    K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.

    238hp / 16%(or 1.20)drivetrain loss equals 198.3 whp, so that sounds normal to me

    you dont need a spoiler the one mazda designed for the car works just fine for what its made to do. If your intrested in modding your car you should really do some research, asking basic questions like this will get you flamed as you can see. If your just intrested in doing looks for the car (i'm guessing you are cause you asked about a wing) you would want to probably check out mazdaspeed or some of the other mazda friendly companies, check out Corksport.com that will be a good start.

    But as for actually modding your car, since you dont have that much knowledge i recomend not modding your car, you didn't pick an easy car to get started with.

    RX-8s are better than Zs...acording to top gear

    and RX-8s are 255hp,the new ones..and they love NOS

    first thing for a 8 is save up 3-4k and turbo it

    i agree with white accord the best thing you can do 1st for the car is suspension, but if your desperately wanting to do the wing first i suggest either the autoexe wings or the mazdaspeed wing best looking wings for the car IMO

    autoexe:

    $856

    SE-03 $779

    mazdaspeed:

    $1229.00

    or just spend 2500 on the autoexe Aero Kit:
