WOW, what a change!!!
Just got my 04 back from the dealer with the new plugs, starter, battery and re-flash and gotta say, it's a completely different car. Starts like a jet, idles much smoother, and seems to be much quicker than before. Although it's probably too early to tell yet, it sure seems like the gas gauge is moving a lot slower than normal. I am definitely one happy camper....

Yes with the new battery and starter, it is idling smoother and starts up so quick. i was more referring to the 'more power' feeling.

STARTS LIKE A JET!?
You have to spool up the engine to 18% rpm, Engauge the ignition, Start fuel pump and when engine rpm stabalizes kill the starter, all while monitoring the EGT for a hot start?
You need to take that crap back that cant be normal!

I also had all of the same things done to my car at the dealer 2 weeks ago and I have also realized that the gas needle is moving slower. Maybe not much but its noticable. I'll take anything I can get. ![Boink](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/boink.gif)
As far as power goes, can't say much for that.![Dunno](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
But I'm happy all and all after the work.
