578 euro - not a default oem one but I'd preffer it not to be, just gotta be careful with it rattling against the firewall.
Good find Viper, although personally I'd stay away from it.
I got one similar from MRP in England and no matter what I did to make it fit, there was always an air leak. Even put back on the OEM one a few times to see if we were doing it right and we were.
At least in Souhan's, they make it identical to the OEM one and they also fit it. They say that they've done a lot of RX-8's so are well used to it. Also, if it doesn't fit they have the job of making it fit and you don't have to send that back to England like I had to

Ah that's cool, I had mine replaced under warrrenty, had the car a few months completely oblivious to the fact that ignition coils have a tendency to stop working, ended up in broken down on the side of the street in Limerick
4 igntion coils + 1 cat + alot of reading about the car think I should be all good.
Deviating from the tread slightly (apologies in advance) I'm assuming you have the 231 with the boose 6 cd changer, if so have you made any changes\upgrades to the head unit? want to play off my mp3 player but, think a different head unit would ruin the look of the dash.0 -

Nope, mine is a 250bhp JDM import - no warranty since I'm the 3rd owner (2nd Irish owner) so I had to fork out for the cat myself. Turns out it's not even gone bad, it was just me thinking it was! I just sent it back and put on the OEM one. The revs always hit 10,000 when I want them to so that's a sign the cat is working well
I have the Bose 6 CD Changer and what with the car being JDM, it also has a :eek:MiniDisc:eek: player! If you installed a run-of-the-mill HU you'd need all the plastic bits to cover up the gaps. Not worth it!
To keep this somewhat on-topic, I'll PM you about this.0 -

O/T, I know.... but I used to think that, too. And I got berated by Mrs Gtt when I did get the iPod.
Want to guess who wore out the HDD on the first one ??? Brilliant yoke, btw.
Having said that, I just got a Sony W995 phone, and tbh, it's a close-run thing.......Ode To The Motorist
“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
