I am looking to possibly buy a 04 or 05 RX-8. Both of the ones I am considering have almost 100,000 miles on them. The car is being purchased just to be a track day car (and to drive to and from the track which is a little more than an hour away). Maybe some on the weekends but not much. Is it possible to get 200 - 210 whp from this car if I upgrade the ignition (using the BHR ignition that I have read about on here), install a new CAT and use the COBB Tune that you can get from the mazda maniac website.
I will upgrade the brakes and put some coilovers on it as well but that wont effect the power, just how quickly I can put it to the road. Both of these cars are in the $5000 range and I am not looking to break the bank and rebuild the entire engine or add a superchager or turbo as I dont need a 400hp car to have fun in.
I also dont really care if the car makes it to 150,000 miles or not as this is not going to be an everyday car. I would be happy if the car makes it 3 years without blowing up the engine. So is 210 whp a realistic possiblity or is that not going to happen with a car that old with that many miles??
