Mazda can't hear us, but you can. I think its the Pro-tuners that will get what needs to be done, done.
Other list:
1. How about making a Paradox oil catch can and breather kit?
The RX-8 loves fresh air, instead recirculated oily vapors. It would be nice if somebody offered a nice little kit with instruction.
2. Better Cold Air intake duct.
I think the Odula intake duct is great, but the inlet could be bigger. Would like to see somebody design and make a better cold air intake duct to hook up to the stock box. The RB one is really for the RB box and then there is the concern of blocking air flow.
3. High flow throttle body/throttle response improvement
I would like to see some Pro-tuner take a serious crack at seeing if something could be done here. I've heard the debate go back in forth on both sides, but maybe you would like to take a crack at it.
I've been waiting since min-May for mine! Can't get a response! Okay............I'll quit bitchin now!

Finally
Well....well....well, guess what finally came via UPS on Friday. My Unothodox pullies!!!!!! I had given up on them.
Anyway, the install took about two hours as I went ahead a took out the Revi box as I decided I wanted to have a look in there and clean the filter. (see below)
The Unortho has three pullies(crank, water, and alternator)............If you don't have an impact wrench, just back away from the computer right now and go get one from Walmart for $29.00, you will most likley need it for the alternator pully bolt(what a bitch without it!). You also need two new belts and the recommended are included in the instructions. Over all it took about 2-3 hours as I went slow because it was 110 degrees in my garage and included doing the Revi intake.
When done, I did the 20 brake tap and watched the needle sweep(which it did) and then did the DCS/TCS reset and all is good. No CEL(but I haven't tromped on it yet either). I just went for about a 5 mile drive and all seems to be okay. My butt ain't a Dyno and I was concentrating on too many thinigs right off the bat to really comment on if I felt any difference or not. I'll probably edit this later as I will go for a better drive later today.
The Revi:
Found some small bits of a debris and some sand/dirt in the box and cleaned that out. Had to come in through the Ram Air, but wasn't very much at all. Filter was okay and had trapped some small stuff and dirt again. Cleaned that all up using the recommended K&N cleaner. I had read somewhere here that people were seeing oil on the filter and in the box, so I wanted to check that out....................didn't find any.
