I JUST GOT IT......

bizzybearfigiblue · 07-31-2006, 12:51 AM

well i just got the reflash from work today. i heard we got the update and passed by earlier to get it done. i have to say that this reflash is a must for people who can't stand the feel of the DBW. i personally didn't have a problem with it before but now i wish that my car came like this from the factory.
the hesitation is gone when u press the gas and the rpms don't hang when u come off the gas. it almost feels like ur driving a car with cable instead of DBW. when u shift u can come off the gas and press it without any hesitation at all. it's great i'm so excited that i finally have a new upgrade for my car, even tho it doesn't make it faster.

it's that from honda dealer or hondata?

06CivEXJon · 07-31-2006, 01:38 AM

Is Honda going to fix this for the 07 SI models? and if not could you take it to the dealer so they can reflash it?

Gonzo · 07-31-2006, 01:45 AM

07 models come with the reflash I believe. Some newer 06's also came with the reflash I think.

civicsi1217 · 07-31-2006, 01:57 AM

hey bear did you pay??? cuz if you didnt call me so i can go by dealer ne wayz... how long does it take...call me hoe...

TreeFrog · 07-31-2006, 07:13 AM

okay i need this now!

so let me get this straight. honda dealerships have a new reflash that fixes the dbw issues? is this free? when will they all have it availiable to the general public?

***Special Ringpop*** · 07-31-2006, 08:32 AM

I guess I don't understand what this is for, and why they do it, and why I should do it?

07-31-2006, 08:55 AM

i wonder if this will be avail anytime soon for R18's cuz although i dont think we have the RPM hang i feel my civic has the dbw and hesitation issues.

hmmm?

letsgoflyers81 · 07-31-2006, 09:14 AM

Is this Honda's reflash or Hondata's?

bizzybearfigiblue · 07-31-2006, 09:20 AM

this is honda's reflash not hondata and it should be out Aug. 1 from what i heard. i don't know how much it is or if it's free from the dealer.

letsgoflyers81 · 07-31-2006, 09:25 AM

I can't imagine it not being free from the dealership. It's a reflash to correct a problem with the ECU, how could they charge for that as long as the car is under warranty? Hondata charges for it even if you've gotten their reflash because they're third party and still need to keep the previous reflash they've installed for you. But a Honda dealership installing a Honda reflash on a Honda ECU because of a Honda programming issue, that should definitely be free.

Jensen · 07-31-2006, 09:42 AM

Where have you people been?

Yes it's a free re-flash from any Honda dealership.

Yes it comes out Aug 1.

Yes it fixes the REV hang and dbw lag of the 2006 honda civic si.

TreeFrog · 07-31-2006, 12:09 PM

omg i'm calling the dealer**** tomorrow, i'll post my findings!

FG Two · 07-31-2006, 12:13 PM

i just called the dearlership and they dont know anything about a reflash. either honda is good at keeping secrets or yall are makin this crap up.

civicsi1217 · 07-31-2006, 12:49 PM

no it is true... its not a lie...

Yo Nadz · 07-31-2006, 01:20 PM
