Sorry for the dumb question. I was having trouble downloading the APmanager, and found that it was my harddrive had tanked! So I used a friends computer and everything is good. I have the base calibration on and going to make the logs today.

Great.. no problem at all... I thought that might be the case, then I got to wondering if maybe I had scewed up something while trying to do my logs. Thanks for the confirmation.

Hey Hund
Considering buying the accessport here
However wanted to enquire whats the compatability like for Australian RX8s?
My car is a 03 model rx8, as far as i am aware. You dont have a RX8 option there for a 03 rx8.
And from someone else that purchased the Cobb AP in aus, it seems it doesnt work at all.
Just wanting something confirmation ^^
Regards
Jason

Software has been upgraded, Base Calibrations installed on the device. I'm just waiting for my new spark plugs to get here and then I'll start my logs. I want sooo badly to get BHR's Ignition coils, but I'm gonna have to wait on those. Mama ain't too happy with me right now...
I thought that was for after you installed your custom map....

4.0.2 Maps
MM,
I've tried emailing you my 4.0.2 datalogs with the 11 Questions 3 different times now. It doesn't seem that all of the email is getting through, as what's in my sent box is NOT what you are replying with. Can you verify that the last one got through with all the required information. I have a feeling that my MAC doesn't agree with your PC.
Thanks,
WildmanRacing

I've received two sets of datalogs from you, I'll assume the last are the correct files.

I definitely did read the instructions... but I suck @ common sense and other things critical to doing things correctly.... is this going to require a new datalog series? cuz i've definitely been running the base map driving both hard and not so hard for almost a week now...
I suppose it probably wouldn't hurt anyway.... well, with the base map now worked WELL into my cars system (I took it out to the track the other night with no problems of course and have been DDing it as well) would it need a re-install and 2 drive cycles/ cooling or is it good to go?

As far as I understand the having driven two drivecycles is the barest minimum to give the ECU the chance to learn a bit more about your machine.
If anything it would be better the longer time you have been driving because the ECU has had more time to learn.

Gee wiz! I just installed the base calibration and took my first 'short drive. Wow. There's a HUGE difference just from that..especially in 2nd gear.. My max temp, according to the AP, was 185 (I let it sit for 15mins just to be sure-could be the breeze?). It never got to 189. In fact, during the drive, it dropped to between 179-181.
