Hey all,

Thanks.. I got a winning blue 6MT. 8 airbags, sunroof, DVD Navigation version. The seats are fabric.

So far, I have clock 230km in 2 days around town. Can't stop driving the car. It's just a beautiful drivers car.

Looking forward to meet up with the members here to share your experience...:-)

Boy, they tentatively say 20 cars at estimated RM2k each just to come down to KL..... So very unlikely they will go to KK, some more they oni associates with workshops.......

There's one big customer that spends more than 100k on RE products, that's why RE will come to KL to tune his car.....

The schedule will be very tight so they probably won't have time to go to East Malaysia. Benny, maybe you can hand carry all the 10 ECUs from Sabah and bring to KL, then fly back the same day.

Since they are coming to tune one heavily modded FD3S, we don't need a minimum of 20 cars. However if we got more than 20 cars then can get discount.

T-shirts, if buy from them can la. If ask them to bring for free, I doubt they will.

Prices to be confirmed.

https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...ight=ecu+remap

according to coupe07,
1. Speed cut removed
2. Rev cut increased. (AT from 7500 to 8500 rev cut)
3. Fuel efficiency increase. (Varies from person to person)
4. Temperature reduced.

it is very worth upgrading. count me in also... give more discount la wangan! lol..

As posted by MG earlier, this is what they do.

1. Speed cut removed
2. Rev cut increased. (AT from 7500 to 8500 rev cut)
3. Fuel efficiency increase. (Varies from person to person)
4. Temperature reduced. (This is the most important feature)

The remap is more or less similar to what you see on R-Magic site or RE-catalogue for those Redom ecu. If we order that kind of service, we have to courier our ECU to Japan for them to remap and they send it back to us.

So bringing the ECU to KL will be the same.

RE-Amemiya is very firm about their pricing for their services.
Price will be very similar to the price in Singapore for the NA Remap.
Given that we definitely have less volume, it will not be cheaper.
The best we can do will be the same as Singapore.

The results and feedback are very good in Singapore so it's worth doing.
The price is not that high if you break it down.

Buying a HKS SLD will cost RM1300-1500. That's already half the price of remap.
So the other half is to bring down your car's temperature and save some fuel and let you enjoy a bit more power.

Warm, it's common in Japan to spend more than half the car price for maintenances and mods...... So either stay stock or mod......
