    Should I be weary to buy rx-8?

    ECU Reflash or AFC?

    Hesitation is driving me crazy, so i made an appt. for the reflash which will run me $96.00. This price got me thinking it is probably better to spend another $300 and get something like the split second afc. Thing is, i really know nothing when it comes to this engine management stuff and I...
