Its way cheaper at Rx8store. I think I saw 3299.00 Don't quote me on that. I can't wait till I get my taxed back this year!

Yeah.. In another thread he said that Mazdatrix refunded him the money....

Awesome man! I cant wait to hear your review. May spur me on to buy one sooner than I expected.

The GReddy turbo kit is actually rather cheap here in Sweden... if you compare it to other kits (not necessarely GReddy) for other cars. I think the GReddy was about $4000 and I find that very cheap. Keep in mind all the extra charging for freight and the store want to make some money on it as well... Similar turbokits for lets say S2000 or 350Z is almost double that(!!!) IŽll definately have a GReddy-charged 8 before the year is over.

Congrats, I know you have to be excited....I know if it were me I would not be able to sleep until it came. And then I might just have to curl up on the couch for a night and hold it.:)

Check out the Defi-Link Meter BF. The gauges are back-lit and would match the dash fairly well.

Wow, nice find. Those guages look hot. I appreciate you diggin this up Speed Racer! I have to go place my order for one now so it gets here by the time the turbo kit gets here.

Red Devil 01-05-2005 03:48 PM

Very excited for you...good luck.

philodox 01-05-2005 03:57 PM

Well, just ordered the gauge. Decided on the Defi-Link system Speed Racer recommended. Here is a to where link I bought it. I got the boost gauge and the control unit. I got the gauge that lights up white like the dash when you turn it on. I'm not a fan of the amber/red backlighting on the dash. I will be able to add other gauges at a later time since the control unit allows for expansion. Should have it the same day I get the turbo kit so I can install it all in one shot.

davefzr 01-05-2005 04:03 PM

That thing is sweet! Reminds me of the one PTP Motorsports has on their 8....

http://store1.yimg.com/I/ptpinc_1819_25491362

I think it's the same one.

Relentless 01-05-2005 04:13 PM

Same one. What I really want is that gauge pod.
