thanks to kevin down at epic motoring I got my reflash done in less than an
hour! Havn't been able to drive it yet due to the rain Hope it helps!
thanks also to TSX2345 for recommending Kevin.

TSX2345

It ain't raining it the Hollywood area. Where in SoCal are you?

jetson

I was at work when I got it done. I do live in the hollywood area. The
car has more pep to it thats for sure. I think my next step will be a header
and intake kit next week.

PACman

Wow, that's the fastest turn around time I've heard. Was there an extra charge for that?

jetson

total cost was 595.00 out the door.

CJams

Lucky!

Black_6spd

Congrats! I got reflashed by Epic in under an hour, too. You'll find out that it's easier to make the tires break loose in the rain.

TSX2345

If you get your reflash done by Kevin @ Epic. This is normal, no extra fees or costs. Nothing to be removed or anything. Drive to and from that is it! and pay of course.

HaPPy jU1cE

hey anyway i could get that done as well? i'm located in so cal...

TSX2345

Absolutely! If you are in pretty much anywhere in Cali that is willing to drive to Kevin

HaPPy jU1cE

wait how does it work? he does it himself or what? and where's he located?

TSX2345

Kevin goes directly to Hondata, which is not too far from his location. I wanna say all reflashes are done by Hondata directly. Located in Wilmington.

PACman

Thanks for all the 411 TSX2345. All I need is $595.

jetson

If you haven't had this upgrade done yet you should! Easily worth the money imo. I'm usually skeptical about little upgrades like this but this is something you can really feel.
Any suggestions on what header and intake I should buy? BTW I don't really want to
make the car any louder...I'm old.lol. thanks

TSX2345

$595 and time!

HaPPy jU1cE

only an hour huh? where would i have to meet him up?

TSX2345

Yes, an hour +/-. Go to his shop in Wilmington

waTSX

Ya, all reflashes are done at the Hondata facility. Epic Motoring just happens to be in the same vicinity, reducing turnaround. Kevin does a nice job.

HaPPy jU1cE

so pretty much for sure one hour right? where's wilmington anyways? i'm located in Orange County. How far is it from here?

Tsx536

I thought Hondata was in Torrance

This is the address on their website:
Hondata, Inc.
386 Beech Ave
Unit B2
Torrance, CA 90501

HaPPy jU1cE

torrance isnt too far from OC is it? is it possible to just drive straight to hondata and have them do it? same turnaround time?

LoveMyTL-S

Hmmmm I wonder what can be found in Mapquest??

jlukja

No. Hondata only reflashes through their authorized dealers. The beauty about Epic Motoring (an authorized dealer) is that they are a few minutes from Hondata's location. Kevin just takes your car directly to Hondata and they do the reflash without having to remove the ECU. If you were to deal with other dealers you would have to remove the ECU and send it in (along with a key).

Huntington Beach is about a 30-40min. drive to Epic. All you have to do is call up Kevin at Epic and make an appointment. Show up, he'll take your car. Wait for 30-45min. and he'll bring back your car reflashed. Nothing could be simpler.

yuhoo22

Damn i wish I was in Cali....If I didn't have to take out the ECU and send it in I would be all over this reflash

waTSX

Do it anyway. It's not hard to remove the ECU/immobizier, and if you can find a way to live without your car for a few days, you'll be in like Flynn.

It's worth the effort.

HoRRo

Bleh, at least you're in USA, where there's free shipping through places like clubrsx.

CKcentral

Damn id love to go to Cali and get this done. A turn around time like this is awesome! Any other TSX's from the east wanna road trip out to cali? haha

brandonwyun

can someone post eric's number and address at epic motoring?

thanks

TSX559

^^^

Yea. I would love to have a road trip down there. Im in central ca and I have a brother in law in la area. I can visit him and get my car reflashed at the same time. Cant beat that excuse.

TSX559

How far is Kevin from culver city? Anybody around that area knows? Thanks.

jlukja

Epic Motoring is listed as a Hondata Dealer on the hondata website: http://www.hondata.com/dealers.html

Epic Motoring
300 Quay Ave.
Wilmington, CA 90744
Phone: (310) 787-1562
Fax: (310) 787-1563

Epic is about 30min. south of Culver City. Plug the above address into Google and you'll get a map.

jlukja

I notice that the list of Hondata dealers includes Acura of South Bay. I'm curious if anyone has dealt with them getting the reflash and if they also can just drive it over to Hondata (also in Torrance) rather than pull the ECU out. It would be interesting to find out their price and their position on accepting/denying warranty work for TSXs that they've reflashed for their customers.

dom

Damn you Californians and your drive up Hondata reflashes.

jlukja

Damn you Canucks and your almost finished basements.

TSX559

LMAO.

TSX559

Thanks for the address. Thats just what I was looking for.

dom

You can finish your basement, I can't drive up and get Hondata.

jlukja

Actually, homes in So Cal don't have basements.

dom

Really. None or most?

And I wish, If I didn't have a basement I wouldn't be spending thousands to finish it. I'd have A-Specs and Hondata by now.

jlukja

I haven't seen one yet.
