so what you CAN do .. is get another ecu.. then toss it to hondata.. and use that one.. but each time before you bring your car in to the dealership you'll have to swap back your stock ecu
There is no point in doing hondata unless you have ATLEAST intake, header, exhaust done
and yeah.. the place in sauga is the only place that does hondata in ontario. they are reliable. and since they do have to send it down to the states you are paying for the shipping charges both back and forth as well.

I had no idea that the vin was on the ecu. This is a good thing to know .. I apreciate it. I thought if I do this ... ill just grab another one off ebay of something .. but ya that kinda sucks. This car needs a cheap way to get another 30-40 hp out of it.. for under $1000.00 if anyone knows how let me know !! I guess the reflash is still the best way to go at the moment. Reflash, Header, Downpipe, Catback, Intake .. still way over $1000 though.
