yeah but thats a lexus cover isnt it? its in the engine bay. its visible, and it has a graphic on it.

This is a metal cover, thats the BACKSIDE of the ecu (meaning the part that faces DOWN) thats just painted a color. I mean i dont get it. I wouldnt have wasted the $5 or the 10 min it took to do it.

And dude its a chipped p28 i have 30 of them in my garage lol. ITs not really a MOD. ANd anyone that gets their car tuned and leaves it visible is a jackass. The only reason i ever had one that was visible is because i had zero interior , and i ran open header, and the vibration would make the chip pop out so i had to be able to slap it back in.

man, i hate these trends! Come on evan you are smarter than this hehe

This is a metal cover, thats the BACKSIDE of the ecu (meaning the part that faces DOWN) thats just painted a color. I mean i dont get it. I wouldnt have wasted the $5 or the 10 min it took to do it.

And dude its a chipped p28 i have 30 of them in my garage lol. ITs not really a MOD. ANd anyone that gets their car tuned and leaves it visible is a jackass. The only reason i ever had one that was visible is because i had zero interior , and i ran open header, and the vibration would make the chip pop out so i had to be able to slap it back in.

man, i hate these trends! Come on evan you are smarter than this hehe

I never claimed for it to be something special. I claimed $75 for it was a good price.

Will it not be easier to leave it in the floorboard for datalogging/putting chips in? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have to connect the ECU to my computer via a cable for logging and tuning...

Leave the cable behind the kick panel and just pull it out and plug in into you computer... But if you have a stock engine why worry about any of this? JW?

well first

Do you have

A wideband
License for the tuning software
ROm Burner
Datalogging cable
Emulator/Romulator
OSterich
The ability to tune a car


If yes, then sure you can have it visible, but its still the WRONG SIDE OF THE ECU. YOu tune from the TOP side, not the bottom, so the color you will never see anyways. So again, whats the point.

And, no, when you tune a car, you are done, you dont sit there an tune it every 5 min because you think its JDM TYTE!

Nah man, thats pretty fucking pointless in all honesty lol

I have all that, except the wideband... which is one reason it's not on the car yet. I'm using crome since it's free though.

The top and bottom are painted... mainly because I wanted to. You know, the same reason most of us do what we do.

It was 50/50 on my porsche brake setup, people are like why not just use Accord or NSX calipers? lol! Maybe because they weigh 4 times as much and after doing a 5 lug conversion would cost twice as much lol and not work 1/2 as well?!! Everybody seemed to like my spoiler/splitter but everyone wanted one made for 1/2 what i had into the materials...not counting the time to fabricate it, lol! One of the mods took a month to mail my ECU because his "buddy" works for UPS and can ship it for free. I PAID him EXTRA to send it ASAP because i was using a p72 on a ITR engine lol. 1/2 a dozen PM's and a callout later [where i proceeded to get bashed saying give him time to send it] he finally mailed it. It had been a MONTH! I can't stand one make car forums anyways, they are always bashing other brands like theirs is god's gift on earth.

Besides that (not trying to call you out) the "offset, wire tuck, lowered, polished bay" cost just as much, or more than building a 11-12 second honda. This is the new phase that the honda scene is slowly leaning to. It went from custom fab work, to widebody's, to JDM now onto this west coast clean look.

Lets face it. I would have a damn 11 second honda right now if I spend all the money I have spent in WHEELS alone ..... BUT its not what I'm into. I would rather buy a tucked harness for 800 dollars than a turbo manifold. I would rather spend 2k on wheels that look good on my car than a built head.

As far as painting the ECU cover.....it's whatever....a waste of time IMO seeing the it IS the bottom and cant be seen, but whatever. People get bored and do things just to be themself. I am sure we have all done useless things. But then again you look at those cars at shows that are modded to no end with EVERYTHING you could think of changed in some way.....maybe Evan was going for something like that? Or maybe he was just following a trend of such from places such as honda-tech? Who knows? I dont even know....dont care to really. It's soooo small of a thing that at the end of the day, it will be okay either way. The point is.....why dont we move foward and quit trying to bash each other. Point is proven from both ends.

And not Mike I am not saying just you. This whole thread made me kinda LOL.

Lets face it. I would have a damn 11 second honda right now if I spend all the money I have spent in WHEELS alone ..... BUT its not what I'm into. I would rather buy a tucked harness for 800 dollars than a turbo manifold. I would rather spend 2k on wheels that look good on my car than a built head. I would rather have my car extremely low to the ground and look "hella flush" than be able to beat a mustang from a 30 dig. To each his own.

Lets get a few things straight

1) I dont kiss anyones ass to sell my product. You either want it or you dont. Regardless of the offset of your wheels.

2) THe beauty of owning ones business is i answer to myself. SO i can say whatever i want.

3) Look i understand the fads, ive been doing this ALOT longer than 90% of you. Ask Jay, his brother built my first motor. Dino and Jay had NA cars long before i ever did. I was the only white guy at Auto Option lol

The problem with the fads, and im not going to name names, is the punk ass kids that are into them. Tom aka B18C5_EH2 has spoon wheels on his EG hatch. But you know what, he doesnt stunt and act like a complete tool bag to people.

Now, you may not know me, or what i look like, but i find myself from time to time , unfortunetly, at places alot of the people on this board frequent. I see what you guys do and its LAME. (thats not a personal shot to you, im saying this in general).

When you have a 140hp car but like to TALK SHIT to kids that have ROTAs cause you have some uber rare Volks that you paid way too much for, you are a RICER.

I really wish i could just flame some people on here by name, but its not worth the 20 pages of shit it will bring. You forget i worked at shops and interacted with these people for YEARS.

There is something to be said for a nicely lowered car with some nice wheels, but this current trend is a bunch of POSERS that like to lean on their car like Paul Walker in a parking lot cause they think cause they have a honda with some stupid mexican offset they are some JDM elitist.

I know guys with SPoon Brakes, that TRACK their car, or make over 300whp in their ITR. I know guys with super rare JDM wheels that dont act like complete douche bags to other people that DONT have those wheels.

I just love how you guys (in these trends) love to sit there and post your $3000 wheels an pat each other on the back like you just figured out cold fusion or the cure to cancer.

Ive said this 1000000 times, its not the trends, its the attitudes of the kids DOING the trends.


Dont want to go fast, dont go fast, no one says you have to. But dont act like a prick in your little click either.



EDIT: I Never flamed or bashed Evan, i just thought it was funny of all the things to do when you are bored, painting an ECU cover would be 22108435714319332049810924/3.14 would be the last on my last

On the Honda challenge cars we ran aluminum wings and ALWAYS got shit for it by other teams. The Del Sols would run well over 140mph at Road Atlanta [and the Prelude was clocked doing 151 in the back stretch]. Without them the cars would rotate way too much in the turns and was too unstable at higher speeds. Put that same wing on a street car and it would look ridiculous lol! Nothing like blowing past 100% full race 911's and BMW's at VIR going up to the roller coaster during sprint and endurance races then veteren drivers coming to our paddock afterwards asking what's in that thing...200+whp, about $8k in suspension, and years of aerodynamic testing = a quick car.

It is one thing for the owners.... any yes alot of people do act like they have a stick up their ass who have "nicer" than usual cars. That is a select few that i know of though and trust me I agree with you. They do think that they are better than others. NOW alot of other individuals, including myself, just like to go out and have fun with other friends. Most of my friends dont care if you have rotas, stock, no- wheels. If your a cool guy/girl than your cool in our books.

Now back on subject the new "fad" is kinda cool. Give it time and see where it goes. Who knew back in 93 that a civic hatch could look as cool as some of them now.

It was a few things combined. I was bored, I had seen it done (where I got the idea), had some extra paint, and the ECU had a large sticker that had been painted over by the previous owner... looked pretty shitty. IMO nothing on the car looks shitty so I wasn't going to possibly put it on my car. I'll also be stripping the IC piping and painting it.

Another thing that gets me, people saying it's blue and the car is green. Why does that matter? Since when does shit "match" when it comes to hondas? I'm only using Bucky as an example because his car is well-known, but carbon fiber VC, blue engine bay, and silver car doesn't match... yet I've never seen anyone say anything about it. Is that because it's a more well-known trend? :thinking:
