I'd like to see a header of some sort. I kind of like the idea of putting a Supercharger on they car when it is realeased but would want something more then an OBX, but less then a $$$$ FEED.
maybe with a 3" collector
If nothing is out around supercharger time, I think I'll send my stock manifold off to get it extrude honed. (depending on how ruff it is inside)
As for the Ignition system upgrade would it be possable to incude a mounting plate with a good grounding point and cable on it just incase it helps.

The cost benefit of things like ignition, and fuel really outweigh the cost benefir of a manifold
because any way you look at it, fabbing up a manifold is *** expensive

My choices, in no particular order:
- Double and triple-gauge mounts for A-pillar
- Double-gauge mount for steering column
- Duct to direct cooler air towards brake rotors
- Front aerodynamic splitter for OEM bumper
- Adjustable sway bar, like Whiteline's
EDIT: And one more thing... I'd like a cheap angled-tube thing (maybe flex tube) that you can hook onto the open window ledge next to the external mirror to direct external air at the driver's torso. I do track events in the 8 and on 90+ degree days it's bastard hot in there.

a way to make the oil pressure gauge in the car a real one, not a dummy one
A few other non-performance things I can think of....
1. Custom arm rest covers in the same color as the 05 shinka interior
2. Shift boot in the same color as 05 shinka interior.
3. Custom glovebox
4. gated shifter to replace the boot
5. custom floor mats
6. wheel center caps
7. oooo.... if you could offer a service to get one off wheels made for around 1k to 1.2k per wheel I'm there!
8. A replacement rear bumper that looks OEM except the fake plastic black grid down at the bottom is a real grid.
9. Kit to make the side vents in the front wheel arches functional.
Mostly though I'd like to see you guys actually finish the supercharger and get it on the market are CARB certified.

Thus far I have the a high flow fuel system ALMOST done.
The coils are also coming....The big issue is finding OEM electrical connectors in bulk.... those are such a PAIN to find.
If anyone knows where to get the OEM connectors, let me know! It will make the release that much sooner!

Currently we have a newly released "Cool Power" thermal management system for the FD's, and we are developing one for the RX-8's, Specifically ones with GReddy turbos. It makes a HUGE difference.

- ignition
- motor mounts

Keep em coming!
What do you guys think about a 1 52mm gauge pod that replaces the steering column (the flat plastic bit behind the steering wheel) Or even one that fits in a GReddy profec B in that spot?

Definately.
My aim isnt to get market share by introducing a product for use for a competitors product though. My main goal is ensure that you guys are getting the proper setup for reliability and power. Releasing these small upgrades will help so much in allowing our cars to output more hp, and more importantly run very well.
The thermal managment kits themselves are essentially universal for the RX-8, the reason I quoted GReddy is simple because there is nothing else out yet
