I zoom therefore I am.
if he doesnt uninstall it from his car, he's selling you a pretty light weight paperweight. verify it's uninstalled from his car before you give him money.

Is there a spot where people have posted logs to view? I would like to compare my logs to someone else running a Cobb tune. If anyone care too, can you please email me your log(s) to:

^^^ did you go back to the OEM map or did you test with the custom calibration.

Depends on the state.

Technically it shouldn't depend on the state. Smog refers to how they check emission compliance on older vehicles.
If you are talking about a full scale inspection, then yes, there is a possibility you will fail because they will visually see there is no emissions equipment.
Apart from that you will NOT fail in any state when running an AP map that has the CEL masked. That's to say the "machine" that hooks up to the OBD2 port will not fail you.
I have passed inspection two times on my car. I don't use a map made by MM (or Cobb) either. But I've gotten lucky the inspection place was lazy and didn't bother to get my car on the lift to check everything else![Wink](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Sorry sorry, this was in Spanish.
Now if in English .... ........
Hi would be great to publish the datalog so that each one of us evaluate the progress that has been obtained.
Good very good.

Downloading someone elses tune is a bad idea. Including the Cobb tunes.

I am running the Cobb stage 1 and my logs look fine and the car runs great. If you have any particular data that supports your statement then post it but that is a pretty bold statement to make without some data to back it up.
All I ever heard is how crappy the stage 1 Cobb tune is and how it will cause lean conditions. I installed it and I am actually running on the richer side of things and the car is running great. I'm not diagreeing that that a custom tune is the best bet but to say using another tune is a bad idea across the board is just not true IMO.

The point being is any out of the box tune is going to be a guess and not the optimum tune for your car. So why bother spending the time and money on the AP without getting a proper tune as well. That's where the benefit is. Otherwise it's an expensive datalogger.

cobb has never made a base tune for an auto rx8.
the MM tune is worth it even without a SC. high OMP rate, clean up your torque and HP plot, fans come on sooner, etc. You already paid the money for the device, might as well go in for a bit more to actually have it do something for you.

It might not be across the board but unless you understand the risks and know what to expect are you willing to risk your motor to do so? Either way, off the shelf tunes still are not as good as custom so while it's free you get what you pay for.
The stage 1 also doesn't alter CEL's, fan speeds, OMP injection, idle or RPM limit etc etc etc.
