It is important to remember that while the RX-7 FD is a very rapid car the RX-8 is a different animal, Tuning an RX-8 for power is not always the best route if your expecting to see massive gains then think again. However handling modifications are a very good place to start in this case,

There are a range of upgrades available for your braking system, ranging from a simple brake pad change all the way up to a full big brake kit.

If your chasing speed or just like driving your car fast then your going to want to be able to stop just as fast, The RX-8 has some very good brakes as standard but like the RX-7 that come before it there is still plenty of room for improvement

Some options are listed below.

• DOT 5.1 Brake Fluid
• Performance Brake Pads
• Uprated Brake Discs
• Braided Brake Lines
• Brake Calliper Upgrade

You may be making some nice power but if you cant get it to the rear wheels then whats the point.

Your going to want to be looking at drivetrain upgrades if your in the above category or even just if your clutch has gone. A dead clutch can be the perfect time to look at adding a lightweight flywheel.

• OEM Spec Exedy Clutches
• Uprated Clutches
• Lightweight Flywheels
• Short Shifters
• Performance Transmission Oils
• Final Drive Ratio’s
• Performance Diff Oils
• Stiffer Diff Bushes

Cooling your rotary is one of the most important upgrades you can carry out, it may not produce any more power but a cool engine is a happy one.

This becomes even more important if you start looking for more power especially in the form of forced induction (turbocharging etc.) while we will not list forced induction cooling mods in this list we will look to cover most of the basic options.

Once you made your power through the engine then its tome to get those gasses out as efficiently as possible, here is where the exhaust comes it. You may on the other hand just want to make your car sound a little sportier. While the range of exhaust parts are broad you only really have a few options for what to change.

• Exhaust Manifold (header)
• Catalytic Converter/ Sports Cat
• Decat (for race only)
• Catback

Induction is all about getting air in to your engine, there there are many induction kits on the market Essex Rotary would only really recommend a select few. Many are badly designed and can sap power from your engine instead of doing what they should.

Options include.

• Cold Air Ram Ducts
• Full Cold Air Intakes
• Enclosed Air Box Upgrades
• Forced Induction
