Sent my ECU out Tuesday morning... it was back at my house Thursday at 9:30am.

I'm in NY. My ECU now has 6,000 more miles on it than the car.

I'll let you know how it runs later.

Deelover

Ok, I'm back on the road. Maybe it's psychosomatic, or maybe it's that I spent $595, but the car runs much better with the reflash. I notice smoother acceleration through the rpms. It also seems much more responsive. The car almost seems like it prefers to run at over 5,000 rpm. What I mean is that the engine does not seem to be straining in the higher rpms. Very smooth pull between 4000 and 7000 rpm, Plus you can hear Vtech kicking in at 5000 rpm now.

I have a 5AT just reflashed and the description above is exactly what I would have written. It simply seems to pull harder and faster, even in lower rpms. The vtec kicking in is very subtle to me, and the slight hesitation that was discussed at around 5,000 rpm is barely noticeable to me.

Thrilled with Kindle, Hondata and my TSX of course...

Hey Jeremy - Haven't been to the site for a while - Nice surprise to hear I won the Gasket!! Screen name is Marketman

Thanks again for all your help with my reflash!!

jdkindle

Youve got PM......

And your welcome

the website says the deal is valid until 4/30, but it seems like people have purchased the reflash since then...soooo is the deal still valid? 'cause I'm considering purchasing this mod soon.

jdkindle

I will continue to offer FREE SHIPPING for the time being, but until further notice, there will be no more giveaways unless there is a huge insurgance of demand, then I will gladly give back to everyone in the form of more free stuff!

If we get to 50 within the next month or so, I will still rebate one reflash, but we are a ways from that number.

hi I'm also interested in the hondata reflash with free shipping... i'm located in toronto.. would there be any problems?

kurt_bradley

You are basically due for payment on the difference in shipping to/from canada.

kendroz

I live in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
How long it will take to reflash?

kboosman00

I am wondering if you are still offering this deal on the reflash??? If you are I am interested?

jdkindle

Yes, I will still honor the deal to the U.S. only though

daddydliv

I just sent out the package to Hondata today. If you're going to do this mod you should definitely do it through Kindle Racing - unless you don't like saving $. He's the only one offering free shipping as far as I know and it's worth it. Taking the ecu and immobilizer out was kind of a pain but as they say no pain, no gain! I'll post my impressions when I get it back in a couple days. Thanks Jeramy!

TSX Cman

so what do the guys in canada do, just wondering.

gotta drive over the border and ship it from a hotel room ??

I opened my birthday card from my wife a couple of minutes ago and low and behold....the last statement was "Now, go order your re-flash...Happy Birthday!" How cool is she?

My question though: I can't afford to be without the car any longer than necessary. If I ship on Friday, will I have it back by Monday...I live in CT?

Thanks guys!

daddydliv

No. They only do it M-F. I put mine in the mail today and I should have it back on Wed. You could drop it off to UPS on a Sat. and have it back by Tues., but you'd still be w/o the car for the same amount of time.

And I'd say she's very cool! My wife isn't giving me a lot of crap for it, but I did get a million questions.

SSN_FT1(SS/DV)

So what have you guys that work during the week done about this type of situation?

I go to night school too and my wife works kinda late.....this is going to be more painful than I thought

I was thinking the same thing until my wife went to Portland for her brother's graduation. I borrowed her car while she was gone and sent out my ecu right before I went to Philadelphia a week later. The ecu was back in Honolulu the night I returned. Slept a bit, woke up the next morning, reinstalled everything and went to work. No problems and loving the reflash!

daddydliv

I am a teacher and school just let out last week. I am borrowing my wife's car for the next couple days. It's not so bad except tomorrow I need to get up early and drive her to work, daughter to daycare, and get myself to an interview.

LI_NY_1

I worked with Kindle also and Jeramy was great. I took 2 days off work (was leaving for a weekend vacation on Friday anyway)

On a Wednesday at lunch during work I took the screws out and got everything ready to be unplugged. Left work right before 5, took the ecu/immobilizer out and used our kid-hauler to drop the box off at UPS.

Impatiently tracked the boxes which got there on Thurs morn and were sent back out Thurs afternoon. Friday morning around 9:30 AM my re-flashed ecu was back in my hands, and installed by 10AM Friday.

Took it out for a drive even before the steering column cover was back on!

What I did was carpool for two days and then take 1 day of vacation. It was nice having the entire day off right after getting Hondata!

You should do the same thing as LI_NY_1.
If you're worried about being without a car then just ship out right before 5 pm Mon-Wed via UPS. Rent a car or carpool for one day, and then get the ECU back in the morning the following day. I thought it was going to be really bad, but it turned out to be fine.

daddydliv

UPS guy just dropped mine off. Thanks again Jeramy! Now, I have some work to do

SSN_FT1(SS/DV)

Is it shipped guaranteed morning delivery...the UPS guy usually stops by my house at 530pm

Tsx536

I don't think is is actually. I was in the same situation. I think it's guaranteed by 3 pm. It's UPS next day saver. The UPS man usually comes to my house around 5 pm too. Mine ended up coming around 8:50 am in the morning though.

You can talk to Jeramy about paying the difference if you want standard next day, guaranteed by 10:30 am.

daddydliv

I don't know the answer for sure myself, but UPS and FedEx usually come here later in the day too. I was surprised to see it here so early, about 10:00 AM.

SSN_FT1(SS/DV)

Huh that is weird guys.....thanks for the help....if I only have to rent a car for one day that would make it way better

Can Hondata possible damage the car?
hondata reflash would effectively void the
warranty, so i want to have some level on confidence that
engine failures aren't running rampant due to reflashing.

GIBSON6594

probably not, but like i always say, your running a risk with any mod. Anything that adds power to a car is going to eventually decrease the engines life unless there are other modifications to handle the extra power. Hondata is very reputable so there is very little chance your engine failing, although i'm not making any promises...

Its not so much the reflash but what you do with it.
