Looks pretty good.
HELL of a mounting bracket.
I hope Richard's going to pull it off. I find this FI approach intriguing but dam if this isn't crawling along at a snail's pace. I'm a patient man but . . . . .
Curious that he can only focus on (seemingly) one adaptation at a time.

1) quality

2) cheep

3) production speed


Pick two..


quality and fast production cycle = high cost
quality and cheep = long lead times
fast production and cheep= low quality

get the idea

RR is designing these with quality and with a reasonable price in mind ($4500 approx for the RX8 with re-flash hardware and software) however flash is non adjustable by the consumer to keep people from blowing up there engines and blaming it on the blower since they messed with the tune.

We call it the dork factor at work. When something pushes to the right on the schedule the dork factor comes out because everybody thinks they now have time to

Yes
Last I heard RP will begin taking RX8 blower orders some time mid January.


S2000 prototyping should follow shortly after that.

Now that they are much farther along, are there any dyno plots for the RX or any power predictions for the S?

Thanks
