Hi, I´ve searched this forum for datalogging to my Rx-8, I´ve got an iphone 4 and a PC

- To connect my iphone to my Rx-8, the cheapest and best way is to buy a Kiwi Wifi and the REV app
- And much cheaper is to buy an OBDII cable and connect the car to my computer, but Which cable should i be looking for? And which program is the best of them all?

I´ve found few here: http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=obd....c0.m270.l1313

I'm not a hater, but I'm really not feeling that front lip..
reminds me of one of those shovels used on those snow trucks.

I would go for a Mazdaspeed body kit and just cf your hood + maybe trunk. Too much seems like it's riced out to me, especially if you buy fake cf.

Also, I'm not the only who disagrees with front lip and applying fake carbon fiber to everything. If you decide to re-read my post you'll see I recommended a bodykit and simply gave him some advice that were he was asking for. But I'm not going to argue with you, it's just an opinion and we're all fans of the same thing here.

Are you stating that the carbon fiber overlays on mine are fake?


the struts and springs were swapped for coilovers a few weeks ago. The car will get set down soon enough. Its a lot of work to do a custom turbo setup in your back yard on your own. Does not happen overnight by any means.

No,
I was talking about the velocity Red Rx-8 he posted and he asked if he should do fake carbon fiber, was not talking about anyone's car in general just that he shouldn't do fake cf.
