No not yet, the first time I got in contact with GMTEC the owner was telling me he was about to get this sorted with Honda NL (to become a official supplier for Holland). He made some progress on the subject and claims to get more Horsepower AND get even more efficient with fuel at the same time...

sound a bit conflicting to me however :-)

anyways, problem is that the main-chip thats needs replacing is fully encapsulated into a gelpack and getting it out without damaging the motherboard seems to be very difficult.

This all was last jan/feb. Currently he is building a Civic hybride to look as a Mugen type R. Don't know the status of the chip stuff at the moment.

Did find another thread somewhere where someone build a new airtake into the hybride...claimed the sound improved quite a bit (and it will perhaps give a litte better performance as well...be it just a little).

Problem in my case, it's a lease-car...so whatever I do, i must be able to put it all back towards original at the end of the lease...

last week installed a new Audio system...which made a trip to the Czech Republic last week (work related) much better as I could watch DVD during the driving...not very smart ofcourse, but is was all Jay Leno stuff (and carbaret)...stuff listing too is more important then watching :-)
