Dayum, Hondata released Flashpro for 2017 CRV. +25tq & +25hp on their base map. That's real tempting!

cu2wagon

You have a CR-V?

Should do it!

the idea that I could flash the audi and get 80 ft/lb is sooooo tempting too...
how can you NOT want to do it.

cu2wagon

Want and should are two different things. SSJoe *should* do it.

RS143 may *want* to, but shouldn't. Because it's a beater he's selling before it starts consuming $20 bills instead of premium unleaded. Right?

ssjoeboe9

We do, it's a lease.. but you can reflash before returning. Only reason I think I may not do it is because this summer we will be getting in that sweet new RDX. And I know that will def have Hondata released for it. Probably gunna be real close to 280-290hp with a flash based on what they are doing with civic. That thing is gunna be awesome. I think selling an RDX flashpro would also be a lot easier than a CRV flashpro lol

Heard FlashPro triggers a flag on the ECU that the dealership can detect (if they looked)? You work there, you should be able to confirm

Most dealerships don't check, the one I work at sure as hell doesn't

cu2wagon

Yeah, but they also hired you. So maybe some of the good, respectable, dealerships do check.

reminds me of a high school english teacher...

told me once; Justin, I know why you're sitting on the ugly bench, but why is she?
pointing towards a young lovely lady that I was infatuated with

cu2wagon

Friggin English teachers.

But wtf is an "ugly bench"?

I havent shaved in a month. Scary

I don't know what dealerships do, but if there isn't a problem then there's no reason to check. If you broke a rod, or cracked a head, of course they will check the "flags" or failures when the incident occurred. They get recorded. If it shows you were way above red-line, or read way high MAP, then they know you had tuned/flashed the ECU.

Dealerships get weird diagnostic tools that we never develop, or half the time know about. We support factory at R&D, after that someone else at American Honda handles it.

noticing my car lately has been "floating"/"drifiting" when turning. and sometimes getting this when merging lanes when on the freeway. any idea?

cu2wagon

Shocks?

If you go bounce a corner of the car, will it keep bouncing or does it dampen out in a bounce/bounce-and-a-half?

urbanstereo

i would say dampen out.

urbanstereo

also may add, maybe an alignment is in order as well.

urbanstereo

going to take it to the dealer. don't feel very safe driving at high speeds anymore

urbanstereo

getting front and hood resprayed.

think i'm gonna have to buy the regular black bra to cover the front till the paint is mostly cured

iTrader: (1)

Do you want a fucked up hood?

Cuz that's how you get a fucked up hood

​​​​​​-Archer's mom

urbanstereo

how would it mess it up? i would rather have it on than nothing at all while it cures.

also

how hard is it poach an egg?!?!

cu2wagon

I'd think that having the fabric in contact with the uncured paint/topcoat would do more harm than good. While it's still "soft" it'd be more likely to get textured by the surface in contact.

urbanstereo

oooh ok. i see where justin was getting at. i was just going through archer quotes in my head.

maybe i can ask my boss to work from home for at least a month

thoiboi

Yeah... clear bra over soft paint sounds like an excellent way to ruin your paint

urbanstereo

clear bra would be a couple months away at least. I was refering to this

thoiboi

oh whoops

same thing though. It'll still scuff up your paint as it's directly applying pressure on the surface. I'd wait to put anything on it until it fully cures.

justnspace

those black bras are harmful to non-recently painted front ends as well.
debris will fall behind the bra and will sandwich itself between the paint and bra...you wont notice until you take off the bra 20 years later and will find the front end in horrible condition

I get his updates!

cu2wagon

Yeah. No bras. Let it go free.

urbanstereo

this should be a law

this is gonna suck if i get a chip or something.

urbanstereo

no worries. wish i could at least protect it with something while it cures, oh well

thoiboi

don't drive it

thoiboi

tell your boss your car broke down and you can't get into work

urbanstereo

can only do it for so long. some things at work i need to be there in person for

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

I think thoiboi was suggesting in jest.
one is being unreasonable to leave it parked during that whole time, unless you have a 2nd car available to you.

the best way to avoid additional hood chips is to leave a reasonable distance between each car and you on the freeway. Don't pass 18-wheelers.

ssjoeboe9

I have a used one I could sell you for a reasonable price. DM me if you are interested.

cu2wagon

That's some poor people problems fo sho.

Should just buy a new car while the hood cures. Quit being poor and just buy one.

Yeah, UrbanStereo's....buy a shitbox for like $1k if you worried
