bro lennon, urs INGS looks good enough what. still want 2nd set ka? lol
davidykhor, kinda blur abit, dont hide ur 19" eh.. i saw edi! :P
wangan, dua ribu sembilan ratus also out of my estimation, i thought like what lennon said estimated 2k. if 2k still ok la.. i know all pro no con for the upgrade, but the pricing cannot based on the price of individual upgrade (HKS speedcut + emanage + etc), or compared the price of SG last time, then sell high la. dont angry ah, just what i think.

INGS+1 rear : 42,900 Yen
Freight(Insured) : 8,000 Yen (around that)
Surcharge : 2,145 Yen (5%)
--------------------------------------------------------
Total : 53,045 Yen
+ Malaysia custom duty (0 to 40%) sum up to around 74263 Yen if kena 40% tax. How much RM need check the conversation rate. + petrol + tol to Sepang Pos Malaysia to collect yourself if kena custom blocked.
Or, easier way. find wangan.

First of all, it's impossible to get it at estimated 2k.
The price is not based on SLD + Emanage + etc.
The price is based on what we get from RE-A, and slight mark up of course.
RE-A's charges us very high per car. It's the same in Singapore. We are getting around the same price as MG is getting. Even with the volume there they had to charge around SGD1200 to SGD1300. So the price for Malaysia given the volume we have is quite fair.
After all, we are paying for all the air fare and accomodation to get them here.

It's not that expensive considering the stuff that comes with the remapping service.

I agree with everyone that the price is steep. But comparing it with the price by MG, it is slightly more expensive here, however after considering the amount you spend traveling to and back from SG, it balances off. Sending your ECU over to SG is another story lah.
To me, premium goodies comes at a premium price. This is one of the few things I'm willing to spend more on. (to me some accessories for the car is way overpriced, but that's just me)
Anyway wangan you might get more than 20 cars.. see if you can garner some interest from over the causeway & the South China Sea (attn: theboy
)

Or, better, give special discount for RX-8 club members. Not necessarily on the remap, perhaps discount on your other accessories maybe? Or voucher makan ka, massage ka... hahaha!
kidding mate.. (not about the massage tho)

Dude..... i do plan to remove the CAT and install the aftermarket clutch + lightweight flywheel.....BUT..... i don't think it'll change my perception on the RX8 shortcommings.....Why u ask? Simply coz ive owned the FC3S & FD3S Rx7's.....These two cars ran quite significant intake and exhausts portings..... Soooo, logically..... the Renesis NA engine will NEVER live up to my expectations.....
I didn't keep the FC3S for long...BUT.....the FD3S Rx7 stayed with me for a good 4 and a half years..... That was 1 awesome ride (FD3S)...... Finished 3rd in the Pasir Gudang Nite Sprints Challenge (Trophy at home
).... Running 1.3 Bar of Boost on Ceremic Apex Seals.... Trust Rebic III injector controller + Rebic III Simulator..... Knight Sports 320Km/h Meter Panel Kit (which i drove till 302km/h wittnessed by my mechanic who was sitting beside me)..... My wife too had the pleasure of hitting that speed sitting beside me...... Did that kind of runs at least 5 times in all........ Was invited by the son of the late Tengku Bendahara Johor to a track session with his Ferrari 512M V12 and Mondial Spider......During the journey via the Pasir Gudang Highway, he was shocked that i was "stuck" to his V12 monsters *** like glue.......Hahahaha....... when we arrived @ the Circuit, he commented on how a 1.3 litre Rotary engine could keep up with is V12 Monster........ I just laughed it off.....Hahahaha........ Boy, were those good times !!! I miss those days..........
Turbocharging my 8 does seem like the next step to take.....We'll see bout that 1.... Till then....... I'll just have to make do with the hand im dealt with.....
Not to say our 8's are not fast...it actually is quite fast..... BUT............ Just not quite there yet...... When i say power..... i mean at least 350bhp @ the wheels..... Soo far....from what i understand, most 6MT 8's develope about 198bhp @ the wheels (varying mods)......
Forced induction, here i come...........

As usual lorr, if I can give discount I sure give wan.
Alot of the things (Not all) is always cheaper than any other shop in KL.
However, I can understand sometimes the price still seem high.
Like you said. Premium things come with premium price. That's a good point.
I'm not sure if everyone is familiar with ECUTEK.
It's a ECU Performance Reflashing service done on some cars like STi or EVO.
Some shop in Sunway charge up to RM4k. This is done by local guys also.
If you put it in comparison, RE-A doesn't look so expensive.
If you put into comparison in Singapore is SGD1250 (RM2837 @ 2.27), and in Malaysia is RM2950, it's only a little bit higher. In Malaysia sure a little bit more expensive since we don't have that many RX8 here to do.
