Youre probably right. But alot of people will be turned off by the down time with no ECU, from my understanding dont you have to send your ECU to Hondata, or is that just on the RSX side? Plus needed to then be properly tuned, unless they wanna run a base map.
Tell me about it....
On Saturday after the races i stopped at the gas station by my house to get some beer, and i come out and some older guy and his son were looking my car over. The kid had to do all the talking for his father who was speaking in what sounded like Russian. Anyways, he asked how much i put into it. And i could only answer with one of those nervous laughs as i couldnt even put a number on it without sitting down and adding it all up.
The last two months alone...ive put over $5k into the car.
Damnit im dumb....
So yes, all the parts are in low supply and expensive as shit, but you gotta pay to play.

reflash is available only for guys who are boosted with comptech sc. think tl will gain some hp/tq by lowering vtec point and smooth out the curve like the reflash available for the tsx.
btw... at least you gained some nice new parts and wheels. my portfolio is down $5g because of lucky 777 yesterday

ya i hate answering that question too only cause im wondering if they plan to jack my car or something HAHA
ya you do have to send it to hondata takes about 4 days total down time.. unless you have a second car or a second chip-set.. i was lucky enough i didnt have to go through all that but i did have to pay more for the second ecu. so technically i paid double the amount HAHA..

Thankfully i have a Sharpie, and made them all say Kyle's
Like usual, there was a problem. Only had 3 valve stems, and by the time i found one at speed concept it wasnt enough time to get to the tire shop to get tires mounted.
So i may get them on tomorrow depending on the rain. I didnt test fit one to see BBK clearance...oh man these are gonna fit good. Maybe too good.

haha yea,, ninja style. I have it leftover from the rsx, just dont know if i want to sell it just yet. Maybe if i get motivated enough, i will look into piggybacking it.

Yea, i had the money so i jumped on them. No wait for new VOLKS FTW
Ive already got Project Kics Caliber 24's Titanium in Blue....which has burnt to a purplish color due to Rotora heat transfering through studs.

Anyone hear about Street Warriors 2 at PIR on saturday??
If it wasnt supposed to rain i would probably enter/go. Gates open at 4, and 15$ gets you in/show/drag race.

Hate the fact that my little sister that loves cars cant be brought to a show because of some worn out wanna be stripper laying on a hood of a car.
Could also just give the car the ol fashion quick detail wash in a parking garage.

She hates it just as much as i do, mixing whores with cars.
If i wanna see girls, ill go to a strip club. Cars are what should be the main attraction at CAR shows.

Thanks god the Les Schwab in sherwood rules. My wheels are reverse mount for the tires...they have the machine to do it.

i wouldnt think its too hard.. i know the bolt is on tight but i have a breaker bar and pipe that will cure that.. i think having it in gear is key so the engine doesnt rotate.. I know in the civic when i did it.. i had to take the starter off and put a flat head inside the flywheel to keep it from rotating.. so we will see..
CLEE dont you have your pulleys done? did you do them?
the bummer part of les schwab is they charge up the ass to have the tires mounted and balanced.. unless you purchase through them..

The pics do no justice of the shine/color, all thats reflecting is my black TV on the faces.
