I haven't got an answer to the ECU question yet, as I haven't stopped in to see my mechanic. But I have confirmed that I'm getting much better MPGs now than before - though I have less power with the new motor. On the trip I got 32 miles per gallon for pure highway driving (cruise controlled at either 74 or 78 mph usually). The best I ever got with the old motor was 29.
Next up - install those clear corners that have been sitting in my garage for months. I ordered amber bulbs from amazon and they should be here this week.

The trip - GA to NY and back was great. Had the car aligned yesterday, and wish I did it before the trip and not after. Fact is, with this new engine, and the new struts last year, and all the stuff I did the year before, this car is running better than it did 60k miles ago. It's really purring these days.

It's the same engine as before - F23A1. I have a '98 CL 2.3, 5 speed. The new engine was pulled from an '02 Accord, which I think was the last year Honda used that engine in any car.

I got a ticket today....42 in a 30...
I'm really upset, but I need to take the defensive driving waste o' time again so my insurance will go down...
I then bought a tarp, cord, and an electric buffer for my car so I can wax/detail my car under cover and to make me feel better...I shouldn't have spent that money.
This day is not looking good; I just noticed some canine fecal matter imbedded in my boot tread!!! GROSS!!
I should promptly return home and crawl into bed.

That sucks about the ticket, I got one not too far back because it was the end of the month and the cop obviously needed to meet quota as he was cutting off and pulling over 4-5 people at a time

Guess what I'll be doing UH-GAIN?!
To top off the shitty day yesterday, I was driving home from work (here) and had my lights on because it was getting dark. I stopped at a light and saw the reflection off the car in front of me...
...
....
The same headlight as before has ceased to be UH-GAIN...
In an attempt to look on the bright side, this time it'll be easier since I've done it before....

And to save a new post from being created....
Got a spare set of headlights and have blackhoused them and recieved my morimoto mini H1 projectors yesterday and am waiting for my genuine Phillips H1 conversion kit ($85 bucks shipped new in box off of a private seller on Ebay) to finish my retrofit. Unfortunately using Fliflyricist1's diy I too am unlucky like him and have to shave down some of the reflector and most likely the lock ring instead of just a simple drop in install! Will post finished product when done!

I have absolutely watched a state cop do that a couple times in the past here in CT. Never unlucky enough to be included in the roundup though!

That PlastiDip looks like a miracle worker....
I'll be ripping my bumper off and headlight so I can put my replacement ballast in.
I went to that meet here Saturday... Being that I don't know who anyone's real name or what they look like AND the pre-meet was cancelled unbeknownst to me, I just wandered around looking like some creepy chick who wasn't scantily-clad, all alone, looking frantically for any clue that maybe whatever person was someone from this forum before I passed out from heat exhaustion. I didn't pass out; I made it back to my car out in BFE. I did take a couple of pictures though...
I got all excited just to look like a fool in the end....yay me...

Blew my back out last weekend and have barely been able to walk all week, all my to-do projects for both vehicles are piling up, and I can't work on either of them, it's killing me
