That's all the info I could glean.

Rob

Very NICE !!!

Where did you see these? Any more info on them or a link to monitor?

Thx Shawrf1

mm

That's pretty cool. I think I'd rather have my gauges up whare the flip out screen is but that's still hella cool.

Got a webpage?

I ran a few googles,and there's nada to be found on this gauge setup.....dammit.

$1500's the best I can find,a 3-gauge setup at RE from MazdaSpeed.....not gonna' happen at that price,hack,wheeze!

Dammit now I want that too, I also want the Auto Climate Controls that we got jacked out of.

Every market gets dif gear.
Canadians get no tire pressure monitors,
we get no auto climate-control.
The JDM gets EVERYTHING.

Dammit. :D

No they don't Preacher. JDM has no sunroof at all and no cruise control (except on the Auto) for starters.

I can't find the two parts above on the R-Magic webpage. Did you find them in a magazine??

bump.

Hello...shawrf1???

Nope... found them on their website through a link... the page with the link is gone now.

Isn't that a shame... would have liked to see more info...

NEWS!!! I can confirm this now. I caught it in the RX-8 Mag section of the new issue of RX-7 Magazine. RMagic is releasing these two products. I can't confirm the prices though... although I remember seeing something more like the 90, 000 JPY neighborhood for the 1-DIN. I will check it out again, or hopefully buy it when the wife isn't around to complain about the price (1500 JPY!).

Preacher,

What about the EVO-R site?

Can someone translate these Yen prices into US dollars? Japan8? Thanks...

Omi,
xe.com
is the best currencey exchange site online....

Currently,
1 USD = 112.586 JPY
(or)
1 JPY = 0.00888212 USD

So 90,000 JPY is $799.39 USD

Ain't yen a bitch? :D

I'll contact RMagic and get actual prices, pics and possible group pricing.

$260.00 for the 2-gauge cover (w/out gauges,correct?)
and
$399.00 for the 1-DIN isn't TOO bad.....

If it gets a wee bit more reasonable,being that it IS only plastic,
count me in on a 2-gauge cover in a group buy.....

This is not really directed at any one person...

Don't forget that Mazda charges about $160 for your dash piece (non-nav)... and that piece is mass produced, used in production and sold as parts. Thus they make some cash and recover their investment easily... but it's still $160. Mazda charges $270 for their Door Sill Trim Plates Aluminum with Rotary emblem (Set of 2). EVO-R is a good deal at $169 for their CF door sill plates. Keep this in mind whenever you see posting for interior pieces.

That 1DIN piece.... rotarygod has even said that for people other than the 5(?) people who already put down money for it, the price will be significantly higher IF he makes them. I've already discussed this 1DIN panel by RMagic with rotarygod and he welcomes another way to help meet demand. Just as a warning, don't let the initial price that was offered to eXentric for that panel be a guide!

Any word on when R-Magic will release their 1DIN panel?

When you stated about the price to eXentric, do you mean that the 1DIN panel might be even more expensive or less than the $399 price above?

Any info would be helpful. Thanks.

i am very interested in getting a 1 din piece as well.... my custom shop been shitty about getting mines made.... why do all of them drag their feet on custom work? anyways i'm willing to pay a deposit or whatever to get the piece made so i can install my Alpine CVA 1005......

Sorry, been a little busy. I should be able to contact RMagic today (Tuesday 5/11 JST).

The price given to eXentric refers to the price that he and a group of people paid to Twisted Solutions to have a custom 1DIN dash panel made. rotarygod has since picked up the project for various reasons. Check the "aftermarket LCD found" thread for more info. Anyway, the cost for rotarygod to build more of the dash units once he get the demo unit done will be signigicantly more than what this first group of people have paid for it.

Thanks for the conversion rate Japan8! :D

I am also interested in that 1-DIN piece...

Any news on this one?

I got a response back from RMagic. The pricing they quoted me is very close to what was originally posted in the beginning of the thread. They rejected any group discounts around the number of 5 units.

At this point I am considering what options are available and how to pursue them in order to get these units in everyone's hands (group buy, vendor, etc.)... also how to get RMagic to cut a deal on them... between this and the various forum rules I can't give the actual price yet.

BTW the pics that RMagic sent me are the same as those originally posted.

After the email that I got back from RSW regarding their 3 Gauge Hood (see thread... http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=27283&perpage=15&pagenumber=1 )... I am really disappointed in RMagic. I think I might write them back about volume discounting and see what comes of it... The only thing is I am not so worried about RMagic have fitment issues...

It doesnt really match the cars interior its way to shiny, is there a way to get it do be the same at the cars interior?

I can ask, but I am under the impression that there aren't any "options" or "requests."

I don't like the design of R magic. You have to look down at your guages when you driving. I like the one below, which keeps your eye on the road. Specially when you're racing. http://www.evo-r.net/product/RX-8/3meter2.jpg

EVO,
Where'd that pod you pictured above come from?
Can you get them for us?
If so,how much,in USD?
Group buy,mabye?

Thanks!

The RMagic one works for many people, as they are non-smokers and have the Navigation Unit. I agree the looking down is bad, but you honestly don't need to constantly look at the type of information these guages are going to provide (water temp, oil temp, intake pressure, boost, oil pressure, rpm...). So you just glance down at a stoplight, in stop and go traffic, or when cruising. Any other time you wouldn't have time to look at dash mounted gauges either. Speaking of which, RSW is making a replica of the Mazadaspeed 3 Gauge Hood... currently being redesigned though. I'll post more on that when I get the info.


Preacher,

That guage cluster is by Fujita Engineering (FEED). The gauges all face to the right for a right-hand drive car... so not much good for you guys in the States. Someone else tried contacting FEED to see if they would make a LHD model, but no response...

I'll be making one for LHD. :)

Keep me posted,and remember:
Measure TWICE,cut ONCE.

Keep me posted!

I knew you would be. Is it going to be CF only? As you know there are a lot of CF fans and a lot of VERY anti-rice people on the forum...

OH BTW everyone.. the RMagic 2 Gauge unit comes in 52mm and 60mm gauge sizes...

EVORINC, fix your signature. If you do not know the rules, turn your PMs on, and contact me.

My PM is enabled. But still people cannot PM me.

wow i love them. the screen that just comes out like that. the gauges right under the control panel.

GIVE US SOME INFO!!

Could you be a little more clear what you're refering to? If you mean the FEED 3 Gauge Dash panel above... that doesn't have a 1DIN or anything else built into it.

Originally posted by EVORINC

---jps EVO, what Sputnik is referring to is that your sig is too big. It needs to be no more than 8 lines of text.

I do see that PMs are enabled, but for some reason are not working. I'll talk to the board Admins about this and see what can be done.

Slight update...

Nothing set in stone yet, but... I am looking at trying to sponor a group buy for... RMagic 1Din dash panel, Ashtray Gauge panel and when it's ready the RSW 3 Gauge Hood. Are people still interested in any of these? If not, no problem...

It won't be carbon fiber. It will have the same color tone as the dash. I'll be at Atlantic City SEMA Show this week. :)

Defi gauges plus controller ain't cheap. If you're dropping in a 1DIN w/LCD, why not just pick up the HKS digital unit mentioned in the LCD thread?

<Interested.

If you're letting newbies in on it, I'd possibly/probably be interested in the 2-gauge ashtray (assuming it puts the gauges at a viewable angle for LHD).

< 2-gauge ash tray and RSW 3-gauge for me....most definately.

(Then I'll have to find five gauges,lol!)

yes i want the 2 guage pod for the ash tray. !
what a great looking pod .

Well I haven't heard back from the admins yet, but I'll start to move forward some...

I've got to work on shipping details still... mainly figuring out the cost. As this isn't a business, there are no options (unless you want to bribe me :D) everyone will be shipped via the same method. So the question is sooner and more expensive or later and cheaper? I was planning to just use the postal system air mail... it'll take 7 days. Been mailing stuff to and from home for 5 years now... very reliable, never taken longer if memory serves me. Expressive mail... a waste of money. Everytime my parents have tried it, it still took 7 days... or maybe it ws 6 instead. Really worth the money, eh!

The other major issue that I am thinking of is payment. My banking is in Japan... I have to investigate paypal... for now assume NG. I'm not a vendor... no direct credit cards. That leaves us with International Postal Money Orders. So no one loses their shirt (namely me) due to exchange rate changes , could you try to send them in yen please.

Lastly... "this product is a piece of @#&$*!!" I'm only a middle man... not even a business! I'm making no money off this... not even getting one for myself at a group discount... I have no 8 yet. When I have all the money, I'll place an order with the makers, and they'll ship to me. I'll repackage and ship to you. I'll check them (of course) when repackaging. If they look like crap or have defects, I'll be calling the maker. If it arrives to you in multiple pieces, let me know and we'll work things out. If you simply don't like it... well you can complain to me and I'll pass on your complaints to the maker, but returns on the consumer level are rare if at all.

Questions? Complaints? Want to get a magazine with that? :D If I think of anything else, I'll be back...

NOTE
For the gauge pod people... I could be persuaded to pick up gauges for you here as well... Blitz, Defi, Pivot. For Defi it's like 20,000 JPY + for one. If this is better than the US, cool. If not, cool. Just thought I'd offer.

Regarding the RSW 3 gauge pod. I don't know when they'll have the new one ready. I'll be checking on that, and let you all know.

Ah hell... I'll include the Starter Button as well. I can just pick one up from the store up the street. If anyone wants one (see the thread)...

Originally posted by bgreene

I haven't seen one in person yet. From the pics, it looks like they fit straight... thus viewable from either RHD or LHD.

J8,
What do the starter buttons go for?
:)

Preacher,

Depends on which one. Racing starter, illuminated starter, or security starter (this is also illuminated). http://www.the-pivot.co.jp/product/flame-starter-e.html

Racing Starter 6,825 JPY

Illuminated Starter 8,190 JPY

Security Starter 12,600 JPY

Ah,I thought you meant the Mazda rotary-shaped OEM JDM piece,I see by the link those are JDM,but not OEM.
If you can get those nifty JDM OEM starter-button pieces cheap,that might be cool!

Preacher, let's assume I can't, because I hadn't planned for or evern started looking for them. If I should happen to work something out, then it is as they say... fortuitous.

Ashtray gauge pod buyers... you also need to specifiy what size cutouts you want... 52mm or 60mm.

Payment methods update...

It looks like Paypal will be a go. I'm waiting for some info from them, however, I will at least be able to accept Paypal, if not credit cards directly. Keep you all posted...

RSW 3-gauge,it's looking like,for me :)

If there is a group buy I am in for the 2-Din (ashtray). Just let me know

BTW... I forgot to post that RSW says it'll be a month before the new unit is ready. I'll post info as soon as I hear from them.

Regarding payment. I've talked to PayPal and lucky I had a backdoor, so we're about set. What I need to know is if everyone will pay by PayPal or if you need to pay directly by credit card. Directly using a credit card will cost you transaction fees they charge me... https://www.paypal.com/fees

I am in for both R Majic pieces.

for the ashtray. please email me when you know you can get this. thanks!

At the moment the major hold up is me waiting for a response from RMagic on some details like their turn around time, shipping size and weight, etc. Once I can get that information together, I should be set for the RMagic products. The RSW will (of course) be on hold for another month until the new design unit is ready. At that time I'll post pics and verify that people are still interested in that unit or not. Anyone ordering both the RMagic Ashtray Gauge Pod and the RSW 3 Gauge Hood will have to let me know their shipping preferences (like Amazon... separately or wait and ship together).

Has anybody figured out a way to hook up an oil pressure guage that reads the correct oil pressure. I want an oil pressure and not sure what else(probably EGT), but do not know if it is possible to hook up an oil pressure guage.

I've never hooked one up, so I can't give you specifics, but I do know that it's possible. Available gauges are: turbo, intake manifold, oil pressure, fuel pressure, oil temp, water temp, exhaust temp, and tachometer.

Please see the new group buy thread here (http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31726)

Bump, folks. This group buy is only open for another week. Please go get signed up here (http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31726) if you're interested!

bump...

this is the last day folks. I suggest hopping on the above mentioned thread and signing up for one if you want to install an aftermarket HU or navigation system... or a carputer.

Pricey some may say, but unless you can do glassing yourself, you are likely going to pay pretty damn close to this price for one. If anyone remembers the one that rotarygod was working on for eXentric... ask the man yourself, and he'll tell you that a quality piece like this made by him is going to fall into this range. You aren't getting ripped here.

RMagic is a top rotary tuner who also makes several of their own bodykits as well. I have little doubt as to the quality of the unit.

The pieces have arrived in my hands at long last (backlog order)! They are very solid and should fit nicely. I can't wait to see pics of them installed. If I can get my POS digital camera working, I'll post some pics of the piece uninstalled.
