you guys are really into that arent you? im just not willing to have my speedometer out for the amount of difference that i think this will make. I also voiced my opinion about how i think it will make shifting more frequent and annoying. if i was on the track alot and could use tighter gearing then i might concider it....but my slow rotary keeps me out of trouble on the street. haha.

Well you know my opinion, i think it will make the car faster and more drivable. If I owned a 2004-2008 RX-8 it would be the 2nd mod I would make. (1st would be lowered with Eibach Pro Kit) lol

Al, hadn't you just finished telling us about how easy and cheap it is to simply use a shorter tire before we started talking about gearing?

olddragger has the smaller tire which comes close to mimicking 4.777 and said it made a noticeable difference. The guy I contacted about pricing still has nothing to tell me on that front...

Problem doing it with tire is 2-fold. 1st you will severely under tire your car and affect handling etc. The second problem is the same sppedo problem with the way it would read.

Will do!
Who did you contact thunder? I talked to the guys in Pickering (as Al suggested), they still have to get back to me. They have to looking seeing if it is the same as the RX7, since they actually haven't done an 8 yet. Said they will get back to me, I will post when I hear something.
