according to this Mazda service bulletin (4/12/2004)...
http://www.finishlineperformance.com...1-04-1273d.pdf
.. "M" flash will now be done to any car coming in for any reason (including routine maintenance).

yea, i know and i printed that out and handed it to the service manager. he said "if youre not having any of these problems we cant do anything."
to which i responded "it doesnt cost you anything and it takes 5 minutes. and it will reduce the chance ill be in here getting the engine unflooded"
he said "well, unless its a recall we cant do anything about it, but ill ask my service manager"
obviously he didnt, but somehow it still took me an hour to get my oil changed.

"If it were an issue for all cars they wouldn't have put it in this bulletin"
WTF? So I asked why would I not want the latest level.
"This is for cars that have trouble starting or to prevent flooding"
So I asked why I wouldn't want something to help my car not flood.
I'm on the phone to Mazda North America today!

Wow, I'm sorry to hear you guys are having so much trouble getting the upgrade..
Are you sure they saw the "revised" version of that bulletin??
I can't believe they'd still tell you that even when it says verbatim:
"It is important the PCM to at least "M" calibration if the vehicle's PCM currently contains an earlier version. The "M" calibration contains software logic to prevent possible no start concerns. Because of this revision, all vehicles with previous calibrations should be updated to at least the "M" calibration level. This includes vehicles coming to the dealer for repairs unrelated to the no start concern, or normal scheduled maintenance."
..hopefully Mazda North America can help you straiten out your dealer..

According to the conversation I just had with Mazda corporate the dealerships are to be flashing ALL 8s to "M" regardless of the reason for the visit. They said that the dealerships should call the technicall assistance hotline for verification if needed.
Also, they indicated that they are indeed chasing the mpg problem with potential calibration changes to come. They could not give a time frame but said to keep checking directly or by viewing the TSBs. They did admit that they are seeing large fluctuations in mpg performance but are unsure as to why.

after the M flash and keeping most of my revs below 3750 i've been getting about 20 around town. Where before I was getting less then 12.
My dealership was dope, and just took it in. Told me it actually takes 30 mins to upgrade the ecu... that may have been BS. ;

If anyone is tired of waiting, PM me and I'll take your spot... though I realize you'll probably want to wait and see if the most recently promised shipments come through. Who's holding their breath?
Even if I don't get one, it's pretty cool all the hastle Brian has gone through for this. You da man. (Where's the brown-nose smiley? #1 on next GB?)

Rosco took my place, only cause I need the money right now, but still hope to get a stage 1 later in the year.
I'll still check in on the GB from time to time tho, as you guys have been great to talk to.
Thanks,
