Now that Euro got me salivating again I went to Rica's page and read about their iSoftloader box. I wonder if it is a one-timer, ie you can flash your ECU only once, or if you can keep the software and re-flash as many times as you want. The latter might allow A-B-A testing, but I think a one-timer may be safer (unless there is some way to make sure only one ECU is flashed).

The price isn't that bad, but until I start driving more (and I'm doing my best not to!) there is no way I could justify the expense in our family's budget at the moment
