What happened with the rent-a-cop?

yea, i saw that while ago. so was thinking i'll buy the flashpro and start flashing other cars for small fee + whatever hondata will charge per car for licensing.

JDMsTATus

Mr. Rent-a-cop was trying to kick everyone out.. supposedly we can't stand around or meet in the parking lot, so a few peps decided to eat at buffalo wild wings. There would be at lease 25+ cars if it wasn't for mr. Rent-a-cop kicking everyone out.. Still a great drive tho...

JDMsTATus if you plan to sell your TL ill kindly purchase your atlp cat backs

bluecarbonfiber

thought for that to work you have to turn 1 car back to stock and then put it in another car.. is there a hack out to use it on multi cars??

mucter

1 FlashPro = 1 car

There is no sharing, there is no hacking. And rightly so, FlashPro is a bargain at it's price.

yea, i read about that too, but thought it was because hondata issued only one license per flashpro unit. maybe the dealer version might be different?

super nice camera for the price Matt! if i was in the market i would get it

Stick with my old school Nikon d80

There is no dealer version.

Before you can flash your car, you have to "lock" the flashpro to the VIN in your ECU. It can then only flash that ECU until you use their software to return the ECU to the stock flash and then "unlock" it.

I can see why there would be confusion regarding dealers and reflashes since Hondata only sells their reflashes through dealers. The dealers don't do the flash, Hondata does. There is no correlation between FlashPro and the reflashes. They are two completely separate products with no hardware in common.... other than your ECU.

bluecarbonfiber

so how are the dealers that hondata listed on there site able to do custom reflashes?? http://www.hondata.com/hondata_dealer_reflash.html

per there site


Hondata Dealer Reflash



Perhaps the only upgrade you plan do to your car is an intake or cat-back. Maybe you're not technically minded and would prefer to put your car's tuning in the hands of one of Hondata's expert tuners. Now you can benefit from Hondata's state of the art custom tuning software with no downtime, for a new low price of $350.

Just drive your Honda or Acura to any one of the participating dealers. Within a few minutes they can install one of the many tuned base maps. If you want to go a little further the Hondata dealer can perform a custom tune.

Price

$350 - plus any additional custom tuning as arranged with your dealer.

Supported vehicles

Any U.S. vehicle supported by FlashPro.

Vehicle
Civic 2006-2011 US Civic Si
S2000 2006-2009 US S2000
TSX 2007-2008 US TSX
CR-Z 2010+ US CR-Z (MT & CVT)

How it works

1) Drive to any participating Hondata dealer.

2) The dealer connects their dealer FlashPro to your car and registers the license with Hondata.

3) The Hondata dealer then installs a basemap or performs a custom tune on their dyno.

Like I said, either Hondata has a dealer version FlashPro that can be used on more than one car, or FlashPro can reflash more than one car with the authorization from Hondata after paying them for license fee per vin.

bluecarbonfiber

ya wonder what that fee is..

i contacted hondata about my car doing this instead of getting a flashpro they said i would have to get a flashpro.. which i find odd.. if i bought an 07-08 ecu and put in in the car why cant i beable to do the same thing an actual 07-08 can do for a reflash? i feel like they just want more money.. haha.. oh well

mucter

Ahh this must be a brand new program they're trying out. That's what I get for having a kid and falling out of touch with the tuning community. Wondered when they'd do something like this. It's a win-win for the dealers. They get to charge for tuning on a higher volume because the customer's don't have to put the extra $350 into the FlashPro. They also get more people coming to them directly for the baseline K20z3 and F22c flashes.

Either way, it has nothing to do with you guys. You can't become a Hondata dealer unless you own a Dyno and they like you...lol. I've tried, and I own a website named after their products.

bluecarbonfiber

ya.. they told me i needed to buy flashpro anyway.. just would of been nice to get a custom reflash for what i have and call it good.. but oh well.. lets hope they do flashpro for the RDX -=)

My money for FlashPro is gone.. Spent good 6 bills yesterday for my mother's early birthday gift. I bought her Samsung Galaxy S last year used for 300 on craigslist as her birthday. This year, she wanted "bigger screen" so she can see better. Samsung Galaxy S2 with 4.52" screen. 0.52" bigger with 600 price tag. 6 bills gone. Add 95 to that, I get FlashPro

bluecarbonfiber

^ haha that sucks for you and good for me.. i thought i would have it by next month but looks like ill have it end of summer.. puppies are coming so i gotta devote my time for that.. then ill have time to play again

mucter

The Russian

Washed the car today Love the headlights!

arlo03

Nice Allen!!! I wanna get my headlights cleared also.

clee109

Is it just the JDM angles of the shots or did you raise the car after headlights, then lowered it again before you snapped the was pics?

Headlights look good!

The Russian

JDM! Had to raise a tad bit to get into the fender lol.. Its back down, but not as low as it before.. I've been scraping my driveway for a while, kinda tired of that lol

The Russian

I have a guy i know with a car even lower then mine!

Brandon, are you still running DC header? Flex still holding up?
Was thinking about ASP header, but I kinda don't like them not having flex pipe and 1000+ price tag. So I'm thinking about going with DC and weld in a new flex to begin with. Even with new flex cost, price will be cheaper than any other header in the market.

Bought a 2006 S2000 from Tonkin yesterday...

what about the cr-z? traded in for the S? looks like a color match of your cr-z too.
anyways very nice! congrats



----------

think i'll put 5zigen header on my header list.
retains the lower half of the header, and probably won't have flex issue(DC) or rattles(Comptech), and it also retains the heatshield.

maybe 5zigen header - FLP cat (also retains heatshield) - oem exhaust.

Ken1997TL

Didnt trade anything in Cash deal

My wife keeps the CR-Z and the TSX wagon remains the practical/comfortable/cargo vehicle.

No more car purchases for 20 years
