New Racing Beat Products

Oil Pressure, Oil and Water Temperature Sensor Adapters, and they are talking about a gauge pod next year.

i believe Richard Paul is going to take oil for his SC with an adaptor like in the first pic. how many things can we stack on top of each other at the filter?

Where does the water temp go? The pipes look too small.

I'm on vacation so I can't check, but doesn't the RX-8 oil filter sit at a slight angle and not straight up and down like it's shown in the picture? It almost looks like they have an attachment that raises the filter so it's easier to change.

too bad i already have the oil pressure/temp and water temp attachments.

don't want to raise the oil filter to high or it'll be harder to change (it is angled twoards teh firewall slightly) but look sliek the RB one will work great. doesn't raise it to high. and looks cool ta boot.

no idea where the water temp attachment they made would go...mine is right before the thermostat..best place to have it in my opinon

wouldn't mind seeing a guage pod....but i would rather see a header design.

I put a sandwich plate adaptor on similar to the Racing Beat one. It does raise the filter enough that getting it on and off again is a little easier. I have giant man hands though, so working with that filter in any way, shape or form is a monster PITA.

the water temp device probably plugs into one of the smaller coolng system hoses like the throttle body heater hose or something similar that has continuous flow through it
