Lastest Flash for the ECU
Have you had the latest flash for the ECU done?
I was having the same issue in my 8. Which has all the dress-up aluminum :D engine caps (washer, oil, radiator, brake fluid, strut bar nuts, and for the exterior valve stem caps, and license plate bolts). Anyone seen these on Ebay?
I get compliments on how nice they look whenever I am checking my oil at the gas station. They always ask surprised, "Are those stock!" I smile and shake my head no.
Anyways now that I got that off of my chest.
I told the service department the same thing and they reported back to me that they tried mine and then another 8 and noticed no difference. At first I was upset when I got it back because they had also checked on the annoying brake squeal... they said nothing was found on that either. They did do an ECU update. I need to ask which it was updated to, I'll try to fit that in today, after I get up. Now I have no trouble shifting when I am in the higher RPM range (under 9000). I will be purchasing the RP shifter to make shifting more fun. The stock one was fine, but the Richard Paul shift kit is supposed to be the bomb. Something else for my wife to ask, "You're puting more stuff on the car?" Then when I show her the difference, she says, "Ohhh." Like the aluminum engine caps, strut bar nuts, valve stem caps and license plate bolts. :D

INDY RX8 CLUB - Officer
Do you have the traction control off? If not and you chirp, the tractiuon control will interupt and it will feel like the car is falling on its face for a minute and then comes back (pulling timing.) Just a thought...
