Yes he is semi-local (about a little less than 2 hours) and I am using the adaptronic ECU.

I don't know if he can/will do remote tuning, but his rebuilds are killer! He does a lot of 20B's and custom work, rotor plating and machining custom wheels.

Here's his club page:

His FD is truly a work of art, and you can see his start up from last week on the FB page.

This was one of the ones I was sort of rooting for since 99% of the Esmeril setups are failures.

I never got the car to get past 6k rpms. I just got married in June and could afford to keep throwing my $ at it for the past 2 years. Its been sitting, waiting to be set up. I could post the map that Chip made for me from Chips Motorsports to see if someone sees something, but he had the car for a while and without starting from step one (taking everything off) he didn't really have anything else to help with.

I will say though, at 6k the car screams like a raped banshee and has so much more to give....I want to see it one day, but right now the car is a 8-10k paperweight sitting around.

My DD is an e90 M3, so it takes care of my needs, and when its time for kids, I can fit them in the back without moving seats.

. . . . . . ... Yes. ... . . . . . I'm slightly more operational. But not fully. I'm leaning towards the fuel setup. Possibly on my installation skills.

So no love for RX-8 here.....




Its been 3 years sitting in my garage on wheel dolly's. I sold my M3 and jeeps. This is too hard to let go. Too much time and money into it.


One of these days I'll buy a new battery and get her started up and maybe take a quick spin before the fuzz see the plates are expired....of course nothing over 6k still.
