So, I'm looking to spend about $1000ish on mods. Right now I'm thinking:
-Cobb AP: $600
-Tint: $250?
-JBR Rear Sway Bar $200 (plus shipping)

With the mods I have right now, would these new mods be the most logical next step? RacePipe? TMIC? FMIC? Fuel pump? Exhaust?

Definitely get an AP, you won't regret it. As for the rest, I'd get some tints and maybe some lowering springs if you don't mind spending another $700 in a year or two when the stock shocks go.

+1 ... the inlet is something you will undoubtedly do eventually and is within budget. I just did the AP and it's well worth the money. The thing is the next step after this gets expensive...hpfp, dp, exhaust, top/front mount, bpv/bov are all expensive.

Internals, so you don't end up like me 3 times in a row - (even when forged the bearings got me)!

AP, tints and save the rest for new internals or a cp-e hpfp.

Thanx for the posts, at this time I think I'm going to do the AP and tints and then plan to get the Corksport TMIC next spring. I'm also tempted to get my RX8 wheels PC'd.:rolleyes
