i guess its a goodthing no one asked your opinion
It appears that ECU is mounted right in the bend of the passengers floorboard. Also right on top of the floor mat. I am confused why someone would want the ECU in the center of the floorboard for dirt and feet to hit :???:
Maybe it's for bragging rights as the ECU even has the "HONDATA" sticker on it.
I'd prefer to keep things hidden and let the car moving do the talking or bragging :crazy:
To each his own though and thanks to whoever mentioned the weather stripping to line the brackets. It's going to that or dynomat :yes:
More to come.....
im not felling the ECU in the floor
Here's what I prefer:

I can't remember if I am to use an o-ring with this plug or not :???:
A long, long time ago I installed this plug because I was installing a 2 way aftermarket fuel rail. Well, with the swap complete, the fuel rail would not stop leaking so I reinstalled the OEM rail and removed the plug for the fuel line to enter the FPR.
So, I am trying to figure out if I have to use an o-ring for the install on the Aeromotive FPR. I believe it's not needed 1) it's not on the fitting 2) I believe the guy at Summit (where I purchased the plug) stated because it's tapered, an o-ring is not needed.
Here is the fitting:

Here is a pic of the fuel rail reducers:
http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...37_rs35_cr.jpg
Another reason I am thinking an o-ring is a great idea :yes:
Thanks for any help :police:
Stopped by NAPA the other day and now have this:

dam i wanted soem of those for awhile... are those the kind that the new lexus's have?
nice
Redy to sell it yet??? JK, Very nice build
Well, I saw a pic (wasn't the best quality) and they looked pretty bright. When the owner of the bulbs told me they are so bright that you will see the bumper outline (shadow) on the ground.... I figured these must be very close to the Lexus tag lights. The Lexus uses a different bulb style. I'll keep you guys posted with a review and nice pics :yes:Quote:
