Want to get the M flash? I know where to go!!
I showed up at Joe Myer's Mazda last Friday UNANNOUNCED, to get my warranty part (the center consol lid was loose and they replaced it with a NEW one.) and to get my RX8 flashed with the latest and greatest flash.
They were way backed up and asked if I can come by on Monday. I did, even brought my dog with me. They not only replaced the console lid, they re-flashed my car without any questions. The only thing they wrote down on the work order was "sluggish acceleration".
I asked the techinician that worked on my car a bunch of questions. He told me that there was not one M flash, but a bunch of them. one's for performance, ones for CEL's, ones for the oil pan, etc. I chose the performance one. They have been GREAT!!!!! If anyone is interested in buying a car, goto Joe Myers!!! Great people.
BTW, I filled up my tank right afterwords, and had to drive to Austin today. I was averaging about 16 MPG, (have a heavy foot), but when I filled up today, I got 19.75 MPG!!!!!! My average speed was around 80MPH mostly highway driving. Ya'll need to get this M flash!!! Car drives more smoother too.
Aggies Rule!!

Hey guys - just joined the boards. Purchased my 8 a week or two ago. Glad to finally have found a good RX8 Forum!
Anyways, what is this Flash you speak of? I saw a couple people mention an M Flash and also an L Flash?
Thanks guys

"Flash" is another name for a "software upgrade" for the E.C.U. (computer) in your 8. Typically this improves gas mileage and makes other minor asjustments involving the performance of the car.
