hopefully not in the Pickering camp

Their margin will be 100%+ for each item - what the hell Lock is talking about! They will earn a fortune. Shipment is cheap (coz they can ship with each shipment of RX-8), cost is lower than RRP Japan (can be as low as 60%), and they are selling 200%+ of RRP in Japan!

They will get MazdaSpeed not for RX-8 but for the Mazda 3 - which are going attract more customers!

Darrin ray from Gosford Mazda has been selling Mazdaspeed parts for years, albiet at low volumes as the pricing is in the "offensive" catergory. As you state Taka, its Mazda Australia (again) putting there crazy mark ups on already expensive items & Darrin can't do much by the way of discounting.

If you guys want any MS parts for your RX-8's & are ok with the offensive pricing. Call Darrin on 02 4337-8099 & he will help you out.

Every country is the same....... Reguarding big Mark up on MS stuff.

But saying that its no different on any high end stuff. For instance my front mount intercooler.............

Locally made $1200
HKS Kit $3500

MS Stuff is expensive ut it does carry a warranty. Parts are expensive there is no doubt about it. Especially RE stuff, MazdaSpeed seem to take that to a new level.
