Cobb accessport, it lets you tune the "chip" you already have in the RX8. All the stuff you see on Ebay that claim to increase HP & MPG are scams.

I probably would go with good ol' tortilla chips with some hot salsa, tons of beef, and nacho cheese. That will get your **** moving for sure.

I found a use for all those E-Bay performance chips. I made a nice trivet.

"CHiPs"

I'm a little older, these CHIPS come to mind.

Forgive them; it's tough to be mature when the same stupid question (yes, there are stupid questions) gets asked weekly.

Access Port (AP) tuner for your OEM computer - that's it.

You got your serious answer. An accessport from mazdamaniac, It's the best and almost only option. It will run you $$$. Any other chip you find on ebay will work about as well as a dorito.

This thread is now about doritos.

Most of the smart-*** answers are just as boring as the repeated question.

But Easy_E1's trivit was brilliant - and well worth wading through this thread.

I'll semi-redeem my atypical grumpiness with this AP sale thread matchmaking.

^definitely look into searching the forum for threads regarding the accessport. There's a lot of information floating around these boards.
