Just be carefull that it does not remove any of the creature comforts your cars existing computer already provides.

Unless of course you are building a race car.

Cheers,

I'm sure I've read somewhere that motec have a product that integrates into the RX8 ECU without stuffing up the niceties it provides

There are some ECU ready in Japan but I dont know where to get it and who would tune it?

AMUSE you know any good local tuner in Melbourne. I think getting the ECU is the easier part

Body kit quote was from the City (China Town)... they sound doggie tough... I will check out the shop you recommanded ... close to my place. I also will check out rev zone in Nanawading. I have about $2000 this year to mod due to the arrival of our first baby (that is the real one )

Sorry, I could help myself being a cunny funt.

I find it very difficult to read AMUSE'ings posts here. Not that I should critisize - I don't speak any other language, except:

Japanese: HONDA, MAZDA, KAWASAKI, SUZUKI...

German: MERCEDES, BMW, AUDI, PORSCHE

Italian: FERRARI, LAMBORGINI, FIAT

French: PEUGOT, RENAULT

Not being critical AMUSE - 10/10 for having a go! Just a little light hearted banter.

Apexi Power FC w/ FC-Datalogit. everything else is a waste of money.

Plug and Play....... You can't beat it !!

Hell No......

Its just a Plug and play engine management system.

You have all these plus more........

Ignition
Fuel
Rev Limit
idle
Knock
Boost
Revs
Speed
Air Temp
Water Temp
Plus all the correction factors for temps etc etc
Datalogging
Anti Lag
Launch Controller

(The RX-8 Will have........ I'm guessing)
Adjustable Intake for the flappers

Plus you have a Hand controller which can show up to 8 of the above plus can datalog. You will need FC Datalogit to log to a Laptop and the best thing.

All this will cost less than eveything else and you can install it yourself in 10 mins.

I swear by them.

Also Japans fastest Road Legal FD (Scoot) runs one.

Its about 712ps @ rear wheels @ 2.0Bar and has a top speed of well over 300kmh

Just wait for Apexi to put it out shouldn't be too far away.
