So, the basemap on the new chip isn't as ideal as the map on the old one. Hopefully the old chip is still good so I can install it in the new P28. The AFRs were spot on with the old chip.

I started having IACV issues late last week, so I cleaned everything out and hooked it all back up. Still had problems with idle surge. Yesterday on my way home from work, the CEL finally came in and the damn thing starting bucking like hell at low throttle input. So I went ahead and replaced it with an old unit I had and then found a damn leak from the outlet hose. So most of this morning was spent replacing that in the parking lot at work. But, no more issues!

So, as luck would have it, a P73 actually runs the gsr pretty well. It's not permanent, just until I get the stuff I need to burn chips. The best part about it is that my AFRs are damn near spot on, where it was extremely rich with the ecu I bought from phearable. I know it's a basemap and I need to tune it, but this is good enough for the time being.

It runs pretty well with the P73 map. A few spots down low it didn't seem very happy, but everywhere else was great.

If this stupid mobile app would actually upload my photos correctly, I'd show you all the new Type R rear seats I bought for the Teg

Dude, we have those DB8-R rears still lol. I might be buying the hid front from that car in the near future, too.
As much as I like the DB8-R seats, I have another plan for my seats. Got some prices this week for re-doing my leathers. I'll swap out the cloths I have in the car now for some custom two-tone leather seats. However, after getting the pricing, this is definitely a next year thing lol
So, do you get a paycheck at your job or do you just trade your services for car parts? LOL

See, I get paid there and keep all that money for my bills and such, then what I get paid from the ~10 hours or so that I still put in at the hardware store goes towards Honda parts lol.

Currently trying to figure out where all the water is coming from that is getting into my driver side floorboard.

They're running freely. So is the cowl, I even installed new weatherstripping the other day. Drivers carpet is drenched. Took two towels to dusk it all up and it's still damp. I pulled all the foam off the firewall, it was soaked too. Hate to say it, but I'm leaning towards either a rusted area under the windshield or the windshield sealant itself.

I'm sure you're certain it's water, but could it potentially be the heater core leaking, not sure where it sits under the dash in your car?

Roughly the same place as the Civic. It's not coolant though, I put a white towel down and it came up mostly clean, no green on it. I'd rather replace the heater core than what I'm about to do lol.
