You could barely buy a set of cheap tires for the price of the Hondata reflash, let alone tires AND wheels...

I voted hondata because decent rims and tires for $600 is going to pretty difficult to find. However, people overlook the fact that a great set of tires alone will help just about every aspect of a cars performance, not just acceleration.

Hondata truly only helps engine performance.

I voted rims/tires. I bought my TSX two months ago and have been itching for Hondata reflash since day one. However, looking & handling better is more important to me now than the extra hp/tq. If you look real hard for a good looking set of rims and some sticky tires, you can get them for 900-1200. Its all about preference and priorities. I once drove a stock, um looking LS1 Z28 that looked stock to everyone yet ran 11s and handled like a track car. I now miss that my old car was always looked at like another stock Camaro even though it was a beast. If nothing else, paint your stock rims graphite AND get the reflash.

I'mnot sure where you heard that, but the reflash is not a "chip" that can burn out. It simply involves the recoding of the fuel management software and the VTEC engagement point on the existing ECU.

Short answer: it's safe.

I vote tires, rims, and for an extra $130 do a RSB.

Questions for the Hondata folks, will you still have max performance of the re-flash if you do it with stock intake/header/exhaust AND then you upgrade to high flow I/H/E down the road?

I’m curious if the re-flash will adjust itself to the better breathing engine parts later if it maps itself to OEM parts now. This could be a reason to hold off on Hondata and go for the rims.

The reflash takes advantage of the I/H/E. I did the hondata after all of them were done.

Is is better to wait until your I/H/E and hi-flow cat are installed before doing Hondata? I just want to make sure because I was saving Hondata for the very last mod after I/H/E.

I have the Injen CAI already.
Header? I dunno about the price. Dunno which one's good too and dun really know what it's for too. Depends on the price.
Exhaust? WOO..isn't it more expensive then Reflash? And correct me if i m wrong, With exhaust, there's louder sound? Dun think i will go for that for the time being as well if i m getting reflash.

It doesn't matter really. You will definitely feel the difference even if the rest of your car is stock. The reflash was tuned for max performance with CT Icebox and CT header so it will perform best with those mods but it is still a very worthwhile mod without them. The ECU is constantly adjusting so there is no preferred order as far as which to get first.

Wheels if your car is lowered. Hondata if it is your first mod or if you already have some engine mods.

I voted for Hondata. I like the 06/07 rims anyhow, although a tire upgrade would do the TSX good.
