Purchased a red rx8

I did the mistake of test driving one and I had to buy it. Will take delivery in 2 weeks. I'm just wondering what the ecu L flash is all about, what it does and should I ask the dealer to do it before I take delivery?
Thanks for your replies

Congratulations :D
the L reflash is a new program for the car's ECU that uses a mixture that's a bit leaner (the way it's run right now is a bit rich and therefore better fuel and performance difference is debatable). Your car will run fine as it is from the dealer, just a small update that you should get when you get the chance. It wouldn't hurt if you drive it and wait till the first 2000km service to do it.

Thanks for the info, since I haven't picked up the car yet I'll try to get it done before I pick it up next week.
