i think it speaks for itself
ECU/PCM Reprogramming - (Update 6/06) - Good news, Bad news. The good news is that we finally developed a flash for the RX-8 that offers improved power and performance! We have undertaken several successful test reflashes on 2004 RX-8's, but the bad news is that we are currently limited to only the 2004 model. We are currently researching this limitation and will post more information in the near future.
plus teh guage pod in a month or so and then th eheader shortly after that.

Crap, I cant wait !
It shouldnt cost that much to reflash. but what about the new flash from Mazda that suppose to "fix" problems? How can we get those fix? Does that mean we have to reflash the fuel map everytime we get a new update from Mazda ?

What I want is control over everything from idle, fans, fuel, ignition, shift points, tranny line pressure, etc. All packaged in a nice, neat user interface. Kind of like nearly every other vehicle on the road. RB is not giving us that. Yet. If ever.
