UniChip for 3rd Gen?

Has anyone heard if Unichip has developed a chip for our cars? How about any other (chip) manufacturers?

I contacted Unichip by email to get a status. Hopefully this chip will be out soon. See http://www.unichip.us/about_unichip.asp for more info.

Nice Rims Go Big! The Mudflaps are taking away from the look of your TL, however.

With respect to the unichip, the verdict has been pretty negative on the CL Type S and on the TL Type S. People have not really noticed the gains they expected on the dyno or at the track. Go to the CL site and you will see that many were unhappy with their unichip purchace. Hope this helps.

Honda's leave very little on the shelf in terms of ECU updates. These are not like the supercharged Cobras or the turbo'd WRX's or Audi's where there are a ton of variables to play with.

The days of big chip workups on NA cars died in the late 1980's. Welcome to the 21st Century.

Not necessarily. Chips for NA VWs, such as the Garrett chip for my former GTI VR6, produced noticeable gains on the dyno and track. But I do agree that Hondas leave very little room to squeeze out any power out of the ECU.

Thanks for the compliment. As far as the flaps go, I actually don't mind them because they are balck. The other thing about them, they actually help in keeping the car clean. Do you know how hard it is to keep a black car clean...it's a pain in the ASS?
