I don't know much about it at all. I got the "M" last year too.
I know it was reflashed, I'll find out Monday which out it was.

 

I logged 320 fun miles with it... =)

 

Hey all....I got my 8 up-to-date on all TSB's today. Got an oil change and the N-flash also. I do notice a difference in acceleration. The ECU is still in /learning mode/, but there is a difference. Not saying good or bad at this point, will know more and be able to give a better answer by the weekend. Oh, did I mention I have a new Bose head unit on order (mine skips bad!!), a new Bose driver side speaker (Mine rattles!!) and 2 new headlights (Mine are discoloured!!!).

At this rate, I'll have a new rebuilt by this time next year!! :D

cgrx....what are you initial thoughts on the N-flash?

sweet, keep us up to date, which dealer did you go to?

 

I can't really tell. I had a different 8 for 4 days - so my butt dyno is out of whack...

 

Jenkins......Town North Mazda in Richardson.

- Irish

 

I got, on different occasions, a Nissan Sentra, Kia Spectra, and a Nissan Quest minivan. I got madder and madder with each loaner...what a joke

 

Ford Focus, Ford Focus, Impala, Taurus. The only redeeming part, the Taurus had Satellite radio.

I need to get my rearview mirror repalced, and get the console lid done too, I wonder what I will end up with this time.

 

i just got mine back from the dealership tuesday...had my tailshaft seal replaced, oil changed, the N flash and they even warrentied out my hacked up O2 sensor that i had a fooler on!!! car drives great but is gonna go back to the bodyshop to get some minor stuff fixed...

i need to do the brakes TSB...

 

oh and for when the car was in the body shop and when it was down at mazda i got the exact same rental car...an 04 silver focus. man i hate these things!!!

 

I got a white chevy mailabu.......yuck!

 

whooohoooo! they replaced my brakes.......no more sqeaks! Got the N flash too, and an oil change.

 

I had them replace my brakes under the work order as well, now they don't squeak...except for in the early morning, the first few stops are LOUD. Then they kind of disappear. Anyone else had this happen?

 

Yup. Exactly. My new ones squeak when cold, such as leaving for and from work.

 

hmmm...I will have to let you know. I hope not, it so annoying.

 

Well they didn't finish today so I am dropping it back off tomorrow, they are not only giving me the N flash but he is also going to upgrade my spark to the $130 platinum ones under warranty because there is supposedly a bulletin on it. But did get the oil change and new brake pads. I will keep you updated.

 

they checked my plugs and said they were fine......hmmm

 

what dealership did you hit up Chris? was it hillard or hiley? i need to get the brakes and spark plugs done before the car goes down for a while.

 

I went to Hiley, Stephanie was the person I dealt with. She is really cool and let me take my car for the night and bring it back in the morning. Hope your under 12,000 miles because you have to be for the brakes.
