FS: Cobb AccessPORT for 2005 Mazda RX-8 + MazdaManiac files
For sale is a barely Cobb AccessPORT flash tuner for a 2005 Mazda RX-8 (not sure if it works with any other model year).
It's not been used much, since I couldn't find a way to mount it in the car without ghetto rigging it. The AP contains baseline tune files from MazdaManiac (Jeff). Basically deletes all environmental related codes, increases idle RPM, and decreases the threshold temperature before the engine fan starts, all the while doing what the base Stage 1 tune files from Cobb already does (increases power to 250HP and torque by 5%). Firmware not been updated recently, so you may need to do that (it's free). I also have the PC client for the AccessPORT, but you can download that directly from Cobb's website. Asking $550 shipped to within the continental USA. |
You know once you uninstall it from your car, MM maps wont work with the next rx8 right? Unless he supports the rest of your subscription of course.

If you still have this available, I'd love to take it off your hands for 300 shipped. Let me know if that's cool.

Base files are my property and are only available for current customers. They offer no power improvement and are for logging only.
Any other use violates copyright. |
You won't get anywhere near 250HP either, maybe 190.
|
you do know that you can get a brand new cobb for $495 right

baring mental defect either side of a position will put their interest above anything else... that's why it's called "their interest"
|
Laythor, I think you just helped me have an epiphany; for too long I have been placing our customers' interests above BHR's, even when it causes us to lose money, and that may be where my $$$$$$ has been going all this time.
Shit! Gimme that classified employment section of the newspaper, will ya? |
in this case, sir, your interest is the well being of your customer. So your interest is still being put above anything else. People mistakenly think that someone's best interest must be self centered when in many cases it is not.
An analogy would be: There are two people. Both people have 1000 dollars. Person A derives more satisfaction from keeping the money for himself. Person B derives his highest satisfaction from giving that money to others. Person A might look upon person B as being silly with his money while person B might view person A as a person with no conscience. In fact both people are doing the same thing for themselves, deriving the most satisfaction from a given circumstance. |
It was a JOKE, Dood! :lol2:
Don't worry, BHR will still take care of you and everybody else as we always have. Maybe even better as time goes by and the team continues our coalescence. See ya in SoCal next month. ;) |
Let me put it this way; protect my (not me personally) money, f-ck the future critical resources or personal health
that's how we end up with federal mandates and taxation were bumping the h3ll out of this thread :angel: |

Major thread-jack here;
With that attitude, Team, how do you justify driving the RX-8 (or any rotary-powered vehicle), and (even WORSE) racing the God-damned thing? How about outlawing all forms of racing since it is not necessary to the existence of man? How about outlawing anything that is simply of entertainment value under the guise that they are not crucial to our existence, use up "limited" resources, and people often incur injury while doing so? |

It's "how I roll!" |
I copied and pasted this into a notepad file.. not sure where I got it from.. but:
Global warming theorists would have us believe that the 8 billion watts of energy poured out on the Earth by the sun EVERY second doesn't cause temperature change, but an SUV idling in upstate New York will. |

You mean like how we can't just club a woman over the head and drag her off for our own personal use anymore? Sadly, what you describe will ultimately occur some day. It's a reality of our proven history. I justify racing because at this time in history I'm permitted to do so. I further justify it by purchasing a $1000 cat converter that will support up to 400 hp that will cover me for future plans even though that particular device isn't presently required in that class. Back at you, how do you justify intentionally selling emissions defeating products that are illegal for street use when you not only know that's what's intended, you even encourage doing so? |

Back at you, how do you justify intentionally selling emissions defeating products that are illegal for street use when you not only know that's what's intended, you even encourage doing so? Instead of waiting for all of us to suffer under legislation, why don't you lead by example? Perhaps your hero is Al Gore, he and you seem to have a lot in common these days. I was recently wondering how people like you, who have such a dim view of their fellow man (and who typically carry an air of condescension and arrogance about them) get through life each day. Care to help me understand this? You are so much smarter than the rest of us but feel compelled to lecture us from high-above about what idiots we all are. Is this the best you can do in life, Team? To lecture the ignorant masses? Why not take your message to a much more educated audience and see what totalitarian legislation you can get passed upon the rest of us. I really gotta wonder how humanity has made it this far without input and control from people like you. Thank you for saving us from ourselves. |

Negativity breeds negativity. Some people are unhappy and they want to push that unhappiness on other people.
|
When deep in your heart you know a law is wrong and your legislators won't listen to you to correct that error, your only recourse is Civil Disobedience.
|
I don't know which is more delusional:
Spending $1000 on A CAT out of fear for compliance with the law or out of a desire to protect the environment. |
it's cold outside, i'm going to set fire to a tire for warmth.
|
I am all for protecting the enviroment but $1000 dollars is highway robbery. They also lied about global warming
|
:wtf: is going on in here?
|
To bring this all to the top for the OP:
This OT discussion is a roundabout way of looking at the balance of integrity and the difference between being compliant and ethical. The implication that your AP is somehow better than the other used APs for sale out there because it comes with something from me when it doesn't for both practical and legal reasons is ethically challenged. |
What's interesting is that the OP hasn't signed on in a month and ya'll are using his dead thread as a battleground.
|
This is an awesome for sale thread.
I'd expect some of this stuff in a craigslist ad, but you shouldn't try to bullshit people on a forum dedicated (in theory) to spreading as much information about this car, including products for it. While I'm sure someone on this forum might not know what was wrong with this ad, most people could rather quickly spot and comment on the 250 hp claim as well as the use of mazdamaniac's maps as some sort of benefit. Now, if it was the MM service, that's different. |
IM GONNA START THREADS THAT GET MMs ATTENTION JUST SO I CAN STAY UP TO DATE WITH HIS MOST RECENT AVATARS!! DAMN I MISS LIFE IN PHOENIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
Phoenix > Other Places
|
Damn rite!!!! Valley of the sun !! Pv and tempe for for 14+ yrs. Got a little tired of my "vacations" @ tent city so thought i would take a break but im heading back come december

How about maximum performance in a racing class that requires a certain level of emissions compliance. Since you previously posted that a cat converter is a guaranteed loss of power on an RX-8 then having one that provides near zero back pressure must surely make sense. Particularly since that particular one can support up to 400 hp, which may be eventually planned in the future. The brazen cockiness of some people that there's no need to be discreet is amazing. For all you know a federal prosecutor has already posed as a n00b buying a product from you asking all the right questions to document your legal culpability in the future. Your numerous postings on this forum alone probably make that a moot point anyway. I suppose you can also play the negativity card on the victims of willful, intentional environmental irresponsibility. Sure if people immediately die or are harmed for life it's obvious, but we often overlook the slow incremental damage until it's too late. |
And let's not forget, your position is based on a few hp at peak rpm, a place where most street cars rarely spend any time. That's delusion for you ...
Not to mention that your program are locked anyway, so the whole copyright baloney that started this parade made that blustering post moot I see plenty and keep my mouth shut more than some people realize. Let me know if you guys want to keep digging the hole deeper. . |
To TeamRx8 :eek:! :shocking:
For all others

That is a game in which you willingly participate. No one mandates your attendence, so your compliance with the rules is part of what makes the game interesting for you. Why do you think so many of your peers cheat?

The only person that it matters to is the person that installs the part or calibration. On my own car, they would have to come and see it for themselves. Nothing else constitutes evidence. And I'm sure you realize they wont bother.

So far, you are the only one in the hole - shovel or not. |

I helped prepare the legal argument, the brief in support, and filed the documentation in the case. You think I am afraid of the feds after all the shit I have been through? :lol2: |
So in summation:
I'm willing to go as high as 350 shipped for the accessport in question. I don't mind if there's any maps or not (If there are, I won't tell anyone ; D). |
.. in summation, YOU FAIL.
|
Failure can often be the precursor to success, which is why persistence is so important. ;)
I read that from my fortune cookie last time I went to Panda Express. The other one I got said, "Shut the Hell up, you are wearing out peoples' cell phone batteries." |
wow this is quite a different approach to a sale thread.
What's your best price shipped 94062? thanks |
I always wanted a Cobb AP, but I gotta admit... when I see a for sale thread... MM comes in and drop of a fawking kamikaze in there, 'bla bla bla belongs to me / my property / da da da nothing you can do if you buy it from him, buy it from me / yada yada yada, that is against the law / dur dur dur I will not support the buyer of this item since it is not purchase from me. G0d d@mn man, you are in the community with us rx-8 enthusiast, can't you keep it down and give us a break. We understand you want your freaking $$ but geesus fawking khrist man, you are hella annoying when it comes to Cobb AP for sale thread. You always try discourage others and me to buy one from the person instead of you but I could careless about your opinions.
How much for the Cobb AP to 78754? |

If someone is going to openly an cavalierly steal from me, I'm just supposed to do you a favor? I don't want your money. I also don't want my intellectual property to be used by other people to help leverage their sales. And quite a few people (like yourself) don't seem to understand this. Why should my name and my files be used to help someone else make money? It makes no sense. |
mm has the rite to protect his business but i do request the latest avatar firmware update for the next time he has to spell it out for you all AGAIN. whats the matter with you people? drop the extra $300 get ur sh*t tuned properly. as soon as i get my turbo, should be this month i am gladly spending the money for the mm tuning
|
this thread is full of Win.
by far the best (or probably just most entertaining) F/S thread I've seen in quite some time. |
