Mazdamaniac tune via access port. My car ran ok until he tuned it. Gained 10 hp and 5 ft lbs torque. Well worth it. And car runs buttery smooth.

What were you looking at spending? I would definetly go with th e Cobb accessport and than fork out some money for MazdaManiacs. Some people say the Stage 1 from the accesport is great but you really need to pay attention to the readings to make sure your engine is safe. MM will tune it one step further. Meaning it will be tuned specifically for your car and youd probably get more performance out of it than the Stage 1. I dont know why people are acting like they hard to find. Everywhere I web surf, I find one butyou have to make sure you have the right year RX8.

i agree with the others for sure. buy the cobb accessport and run the stage one map. you'll notice an improvement...then let MM do his thing. i was very pleased with the stage one map on my old stock rx8.
