the King Motorsports in CA is the exclusive importer for Mugen in the US...that's all I know. Maybe they have a Canadian branch, or else someone is ripping off their name?

I thought the King Motorsports that is the official distributor of Mugen products is from WI. It says so on their site.

Unless the ECU is a big square box with a Mugen sticker on it saying "For Racing Use Only" - then you probably have a regular ECU with the Mugen program burned onto it. There are lots of places in Vancouver that you can get it done/ or at least will get it done for you.

You friend is probably mistaken. There is no King Motorsports in BC.

No. You cannot coppyright a business name unless it has trade value. I don't think that kind motorsports satisfies that. However something like Starbucks, or McDonnalds does.

The only King Motorsports I have heard of is in Wisconsin... Check the site cause there maybe a Canadian location... But I don't think so!
