A/C Condenser & Oil Cooler Protective Screens
Our air condenser & oil cooler protective screens offer vital protection for these critical engine components. Although Mazda's engineers placed these coolers in an optimal position for cooling, they left them exposed to the elements! A well placed rock, road debris, or even a small critter could fatally damage one of these coolers, leading to possible severe damage to your engine.
The Racing Beat screens are ready-to-install and come complete with fully detailed installation instructions, visit this link for more information and photos.
Racing Beat REVi Intake Kit
Our #1 selling RX-8 product!!
The REVi intake kit has been a huge hit with many RX-8 owners for good reason... it just plain works!
Our initial research showed us that a simple "tube and filter" system was just too loud, and might even cause rough idle issues. This led to the development of the fully enclosed REVi system to address these issues.
We have received many calls from very satisfied RX-8 owners regarding this system (and from customers that have made the switch to the REVi),
