Yup, sorry if I come across as hostile. I just try to lay it out plain, and why. Sometimes my fellow rotorheads have trouble explaining things to non-rotorheads


You don't have a location listed under your name, where are you at? probably have some locals that are willing to give you a hand with stuff.

Or buy an AccessPORT (no longer discontinued, get them from Mazdamaniac.com, who is now the only supplier for them). It will mask the emissions CELs from ever popping up, along with allowing you to get that good tune (it's a tool, so you need to use it correctly to get the best benefit from it), reducing the trigger temp for your radiator fans, increase the oil injection rate, and be a full fledged OBD2 reader/logger/monitor.

Oh yeah absolutely. This is mostly temp and hold over solutions that as far as I can tell won't terribly affect the RX-8 in a negative manner.

I would love an AP and do intend to get one however, MM does appear to have his plate full for one. and 2 My money I was intending for the AP is going to the coils now. :/ so its really just a one thing at a time as quickly as possible.

Thanks for the heads up.
