bought 2002 TL ecu
Hell I found a TL ecu from the junk yard for only $50...why not?
I have an extra cluster already...I wasn't going to scam for milages but since I have all the "equipments" now, I couldn't resist..hahaha
I'm going to swap both speedometer and ecu....hehehe...Hell, doesn't matter how much I drive now, I'll get my full 4 years warranty
which is all I cared for. When I sell my car, I'll be honest about my milage...but if I sell it to the dealer, the hell with you..haha.

I almost did the same thing with my 95 Accord. I looked up my vin on carfax though and since I took it to the dealer and the dealer participated in carfax they already recorded my mileage when I got my timing belt replaced. So there was no point in lowering my mileage if someone on carfax could just see that I had 75,000 miles and it would look funny if the car all of a sudden had 30,000 miles:wow: Before you do any of that stuff, check your vin # on carfax. and do all the mechanic/service stuff on your own that's the way it should be

****..u guys are right. The car didn't start...so I took the ecu back and got my money back Oh well...can't have everything. I just swap out the speedometer cluster and use that to drive around..when I do my inspection, i'll swap it out with the original one so mile reported will be ONLY on the original cluster.
