We are pleased to announce that we are starting shipping on Friday, December 19th.


We thank you for your patience!

We apologize for the delay, but we took extra time to make some improvements that we feel will be beneficial to everyone:

1) New smaller form factor. We redesigned the case of our unit to make it smaller.

2) Easier installation.
We redesigned it to fit inside the ECU enclosure box.
There are now NO external wires or components.
All work is now performed inside the plastic ECU enclosure, and all connections are on the wiring harness.

3) Easier upgradability
We will be offering a kit in late January which will allow users to upgrade the ROM in our units themselves with a PC running Windows or Linux operating systems.
This will work much like upgrading the BIOS on a PC.

4) Easier transition to Stage 2 kit.
When we release our Stage2 kit in late January we will not require you to change the controller. All functionality will be included in the hardware for the Stage2 fuel/air AND ignition tuning. All that will be needed to upgrade to Stage2 is the ROM code and a small additional cable.

 

Good news!

 

For those of us that are not on the old waiting list.

If we order one now..........What is the time frame from when the new orders will be shipped?

 

Carzoomer,

Although I grew up in Toronto, I now live in Cleveland. I am pleased to see another Canadian leading the way with improvements on an already great car. Please send me a note with the cost of your unit and it's effect on warranties. I opted for the debit card and "free" maintenance and don't want to lose those advantages, but I am interested in optimizing the RX-8 experience.

Thanks, oldguy

 

Did you want to hook me up early? I can do a good review too!

Excellent! I assume you meant Friday, December 19th though...

 

Maurice, these are simply AWESOME news. Sounds great!

 

Under a month. The new design takes less work to build.
Main limiting factor is cash.
To build a hundred units costs about $44,000

So we are doing a batch of a hundred, order more parts, buld another batch, etc.

About a week to 10 days per batch.

After we ship our first couple of batches we will have more cash to work with, so it will accelerate.

Some of the parts we already have in much larger quantities, like connectors, and so on that have to be ordered in thousand lots.

 

Please email me at:

Thanks!

 

Crap!

Thanks for pointing that out.
Typing with one finger in a bandage is awful.

YES! The 19th.


I will go fix that right away.

 

awesome news, thanks. i'll be placing my order soon.

 

I did email you through the board.... I would think that logged track data with the mod would be golden

Either way, check your email! I'll still pay full retail and give YOU the results to post after the track days next month

Just let me know!

 

Maurice

Is the kit still $500 U.S.? It would be awesome if you could offer it for 500 including shipping so we could use our Mazda rewards cards. Maybe as a Christmas special? Also, when do you think you'll have the site up with dynos, etc? Do we just send you an email to order? Thanks...
