I dont know who tunes with a "labtop" !!!!... but I do know Mazdamaniac tunes with a "Laptop" using the COBB AP to Flash the OEM ECU... but how you stated you have no monies for the COBB... so youre second option is to get your car to RACING BEAT in the 714 (Orange County California) and get them to program their flash on your 8. GOOOOODDD LUCCKKKKK

You do know that most people, if not all, tune with a laptop, right? As long as he have proper engine management then he's good to go.

Also... if you want the most HP out your stock 8 you can buy a HONDATA tuner.... many people running near 500 hp to the rear wheels use it.

Hmm. Racing Beat flash - $300 and works once.
AccessPORT - $400 and it works forever.

^Yeah , I thought he would figure it out sooner or later that any tuner is going to charge $200+... but what are you going to do? Some people just never listen....

Excellent find!

Now I can tune my Audi RX-8. Well, not tune it, but at least read its codes.

It means that unless you know of some tuning shop that sells an OBDII plug or has 1 that can work with some Tuning Program and be able to flash your computer...

Your only options are to ...
1. Mazdamaniac w/Cobb Ap
2. Send your computer to Racing Beat... wait for it to be flashed... and wait for it to be returned.
