From what I can tell I wouldn't to see the intake much before Jan/Feb 2005 before there ready to us! With being a Mazda Dealer this and the AutoExe intake would be the only one's that I would put on my car!

Neither do I, quality is always the most important thing to me. They are definitely not nearly as efficient as say RE Amemiya, or AEM or the likes, but they remain in business and have a loyal following. How? They make quality products, sure they take a bit longer, but it will be 100% reliable and as good or better performance-wise than the competition. We appreciate you Racing Beat :D

I wish the rest of the world would stop comparing prices with us without mentioning the average income for those locations. It's pretty proportionate. You can make $40,000 a month in Denmark but pay 60% to taxes, $8 a gallon for gas, and $250 for a pair of jeans among many other high priced things. It all works out about the same from a ratio standpoint.

You'll find the average wage for Victoria (where I live) is just over $39500USD. Check this link.
Your Bureau of Labor statistics say the average salary for workers in the US was $36764 in 2002.....I'd say we're comparing apples with apples here.......
BTW, our gas is USD$3.43/US gallon (not imperial gallon) at the moment.

There are plenty of places where things are damn expensive to buy and salaries are way lower than in the US.
The RX-8 is indeed dirt cheap in the US, compared to so many other countries - and this statement takes the average income into account as well.
