Got some eibach springs coming, been wondering if I should change the shocks at the same time. There's nothing wrong with them but they must be original, so 13 years old. Recommendations or if it ain't broke etc?
I do not have any personal experience in the matter, but some people way smarter than me said, that one should not put lowering springs on worn out shocks. Get the shocks renewed, then fit the lowering springs, they said. 8-[
Fitted an Injen pre-filter hydroshield to my Injen intake. Maybe I was worrying unnecessarily as even though we've had some strong sudden downpours the filter was clean as a whistle and drier than an Australian forest. Oh well pre-filter on which should help keep the filter clean. Car still drives well with the new intake.
A hondata is a piggyback ecu fitted into the standard ecu box.I just learned, that the stock P28 ECU cannot be mapped. I would need an aftermarket one, like the Hondata K100. However, my VTEC engages later, than stock, so does the rev limiter. The source is very reliable, search for "killer-bee honda" on youtube If this is true, I think I have some kind of aftermarket ECU, but in the stock box, because when I checked it, it was the stock Honda box. When I was only looking to buy the car, this kept me thinking for a long time, the previous owner couldn't tell me, why it felt like it was mapped. Guys, I might just have hit a goldmine. I'm gonna check tomorrow, gonna take the whole box out and take the cover off.

You could be lucky and find a k100 board already fitted. If so, that's a result. Depending on what you want to do with the car obviously!

Vtec engages later?
The changeover point is set to when the high cam makes more power than the low cam, so can very a lot on different engines/mods. Let the tuner set the vtec as the best point it can work at. I've not heard of any benefit of having it set at a higher rpm and can't see how a near standard engine would benefit from it.Yes, 6800 instead of 5800. Who, with a functioning mind would set the VTEC higher?! It is very annoying in day to day life, having to wait forever, until the big cam comes on.
