What's the deal on the mapping for an SC honda? Fiddle with existing ecu, piggyback or aftermarket?

Usually Hondata Kpro/K100 daughtercard inside factory ECU to allow remapping. K100 is a 'dongle' type card that allows a different map to work without the 'full blown'/more expensive Kpro installation. Commony fitted with kits where customers don't need or want to remap themselves.

 

Other options are available from 'cracked' OEM ECU's to ful blown standalone ECU's and are widely available as well.

 

Honda/Acura tuning market worldwide is huuuge..

 

Bye, Arno.

5th page already! gotta love a project thread!! where is crazyfrog?!

 

anyway... i found myself stuck today... i had nothing to do... so decided to clean the car?! now i havent cleaned a car in a while and by no means am i as good at cleaning cars as most of you polishers! but i gave it a go!

 

first, i made it float, and cleaned all the wheels: (dont worry the tyres will be changed once i decide on a tyre!)

so this revealed a lot of grease... now the previous owner did tell me he greased everything... judging by the amount of grease i imagine he steals it from work as there i ALOT

so what do people suggest i use? i guess a really strong degreaser? help required here.

 

 

so then moved onto the easier part!

 

started off by washing the car twice (twice because the bucket is big :lol: )

 

then used mequires paint cleaner

 

then onto mequires polish

 

then finally mequires wax

 

and now its nice and shiny!!!
