Simota RX-8 SRI--Sample & GI

Simota RX-8 SRI--Sample & GI
Boosted 7 has been kind enough to allow me to post this up to try and gauge some interest.
I have been a Mazda owner and member at protegeclub.com for several years.
For the past year and a half I've been running a small business of importing performance and cosmetic parts directly from overseas manufacturers.
One of the companies I work with is Simota Racing Sports. Some of you may already be familiar with the name but they currently distribute mainly in Asia and Australia.
I am one of just a handful of North America reps, but we are working to change that.
I have had a lot of success with Simota's intakes for the Proteges and Mazda 3s.
Below is a photo of a sample I've acquired. It's a very nice-looking SRI for the RX-8.
I am selling it dirt cheap---$75 shipped (to the lower 48). But in return I'd like the buyer to promise to post pics and comments. If all goes well my goal is to do a possible Group Buy, or at the very least establish a permanent vendor presence here.
The intake will go to the first interested 'Cash-in-hand' poster.
Oh, and there's no risk. If it doesn't fit for some reason (it will), I will refund in full and bear the cost of return shipping.

Dibbs...I'll even do a dyno before and after if you want...
If it reduces power then I will be expecting a refund as well...BTW
I track the car so obviously thats pretty important to me...

You may be thinking of the Carbon Fiber SRI. I am aware of those past problems.
It will be something I address in the near future.
I've had a very good working relationship with Simota, and I don't plan on selling re-badged items. Also, Simota is very interested in establishing a presence of their
own in North America, so any design or fitment problems will be fixed before I attempt to sell anything in bulk...or I won't sell it at all. You have my word on that.

I also know of the original problems and will be looking in depth at this intake for any issues. I also am very familiar with the screen issues and will be conducting a close inspection and produce as objective testing as possible. I'll keep everyone posted..

I have an Umnitza CF intake and have no problems whatsoever. It really bugs me that people think these intakes are junk- they aren't. I've had my Umnitza carbon fiber intake on for over 2500 miles without one CEL from the intake or any problems whatsoever. And I don't think I lost any HP either. Plus, it looks freakkin sweet and everyone loves the dry carbon fiber box the filter sits in. It's high qualitly. Don't worry about any problems........
