If you're going to get together anyway, it'd be good to do a run off of turbo kits versus Nitrous too... :D

 

Wow.. Jason, thats a really low price. I thought MazdaTrix's price was low and you come in almost 400 below it...

 

um yeah, no offense to mazdatrix, but I wasn't going to buy from them when they are priced higher than others and you have to pay CA sales tax too. RX8 store is lower, but there probably will be others who are even lower.

 

wow looks like i'll probable be getting this kit from one of my 2 favorite rx-8 stores..gooooooo rx8store go:D

hehe now if onyl hopupracing would get it too:D i love compitition .. wonder how low the price will go (please be 10 bucks oh pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease:p)

 

I just heard back from Mazdatrix and they refunded me the difference between what they list ($3790) and what rx8store lists ($3399). So basically they retroactively price matched! Kudos for Mazdatrix for doing that for me.

 

Wow, let the price wars begin.. just got this email from Mazdatrix, it's actually two emails they sent back to back. Here they are in order of my getting them

*************************

here is so much going on "behind the scenes" on this.
Makes us look bad for trying to follow the "guidelines" that Greddy tells us
/ requests.

We WILL be matching that price for you.
The difference will be refunded to your card.

We are still waiting to hear from them about the instructions.

SHortly after I got this email stating a new price point for Mazdatrix:
***********
Change from my previous mail to you --

I have never been fond of the "games" being played by others, but we can
"play" when needed. --- Beneficial to consumers in the short run,
detrimental for about everyone in the longer run.

Our retail will be $3289.00 for the kit, and you card will be refunded the
balance.
Thank you for bearing with us / hanging in there while this is settling
down.

 

I dont like causing price wars but I price Greddy product at a certain % back. Some shops will sell it for more and some cheaper Im sure. The question will be, who stocks that kit. If they are anything like the kits for the RX-7 they will be hard to come by and people will most likely have to pay more if they want it right away. Some non rotary shops may sell it a little cheaper, but you will have a long wait for it.

I guess I should consider myself lucky to get one of the 3 kits Mazdatrix got their hands on.

By the way, it shipped today! Will let you guys/gals know when I get it

 

Now I'll go back to my guy and ask him just how close to "wholesale" that price was that he quoted me. It wasn't much lower than those I have read here.

lol wow kudos to mazdatrix. they showed some pretty good form always nice when a company cares about the well being of the customer:D

no if only one of these nice companys would just give me one for free hint hint

 

Charles,
It sounds like you probably got a wholesale price but not their cost if it isnt much lower.

Jason

 

well, when internet gossip about vendors spreads faster than crabs from a hookers knickers, of course they would want to keep us happy

 

A Hookers Knickers? That's a great line

 

Just being inquizitive here.. but what is the max boost you could run out of the Greddy T618Z turbo unit? I know the T618Z is 10.0cm but that's the only details I could find doing a Google search.

 

Does anyone know if this kit works for the auto 8?

 

So -- assuming the car will run 14.5 in the 1/4 mile. Any idea what it will run it in with this kit?

 

Once I get it bolted on I am expecting 240-250whp. That should equate to 13.3-13.5 in the 1/4 mile

 

Not sure Dlin23, can anyone else field this one?

 

It's only for the manual...

RX-8 6speed Turbo kit part number 11540050

 

I am all for paying enough for a kit that allows a company to turn a profit but when my local GReddy dealer/shop tells me that he will do me a favor by selling me the kit at his cost, I am a bit disappointed when the price I am quoted is only $300 less than what everyone else is paying. I am curious as to what kind of margin GReddy allows their dealers for markup(?). It occured to me that perhaps there isn't a whole lot of room for discounts on part of the shop in exchange for the notion that they will be asked to install the thing. Either way, I am going to shop around before I commit. Talk to ya soon, Jason.

Charles

 

is there no BOV?

 

Just saw that TrustPOWER has the kit on their website... So indirectly GReddy has it on theirs...=)

 

Whats the URL?

 

here you go. Hope you can read Japanese
