Sorry for the highjack.
So, to set things straight, you could buy the new Hyme Scanalyzer flasher when it comes out. Then you can send a thank you note to your congressman for letting you help out the Australian economy with the Chinese money they borrowed... for our RX8

Can you think of something better for $600 for the 8? Wondering what others would do since I haven't fully gone through with my plans yet.

My tax preparer told me what I qualified for. I would think most would do the same if asked.

ok, now on topic - if you haven't done suspension upgrades that's the way to go. better performance and the 8 looks much more aggressive. win/win.

To catch back up in regards to your questions.....yes, I know I'm getting $600 back. Plus, I already invest enough of my money.....time to have fun and "stimulate the economy" with the rebate. That's what we are supposed to do anyways, right? See, I did take a few economics classes, lol.

To answer your question, the Axial Flow short shifter will come directly from Axial Flow. The REVi Ram Air Duct from Racing Beat, and the REVi cold air intake from a friend who never installed it on his 8.
