Just for track days? Not racing?

How did you come to pick the Mugen ECU instead of the touted Hondata K Pro?

What header and exhaust?

And dash bar in front of the dash? I don't know that I've seen that before.

I had such a dash bar on my 1988 Honda Michelin Civic (it was removable) and I believe the Echo Cup cars have them too.

Interesting. Benefits of that? Other than not having to remove the dash (which I kind of assume you'd have to do anyway...)

you don't need to gut the backside of the dash!

or cut the dash as it appears the tubing doesn't pierce the dash.

It's certainly a lot better than having the tube right under your knees....

THe Mugen ecu was left over from the last car. K pro is on the way, so no worries there

As for the dash bar. It was a bolt in kit and that's how it came. So you work with what you got.

Thanks for all the comments. All tips and comments appreciated.

Was the shell a wreck or repo or something?

You going to put that sunroof back in? I'm looking for a test car for a carbon delete panel for the RSX. If your interested maybe we can work something out to rid the car of some top weight. Not sure what the regs are in the events the car will run but though I'd mention it. Looks good
