If you have a manual, you may want to look into the syncro-saver, and oil color fan (if you're in a hot climate)

As far as power mods... don't expect much unless you want to spend a lot of money. exhaust and intake don't really add anything to the car power wise. You'll have to go FI for anything more than like 230WHP reasonably.
The AccessPORT is not available for the 2009+ (Series II) RX-8s. I also seem to recall that the clutch pedal issue was fixed in the Series II, but I'm not sure.

Many of the aftermarket parts for the Series I RX-8 don't work on the Series II.
