Your beater looks like a big red X....

I'm at work so that could be the problem.

About 600 miles. And despite what some people might say.....try not to break it in too aggressively.

Thanks! No not really. Maybe A K&N Drop in filter at most. I just need this car to get around with and not worry about anything breaking down on my little drive to work. But who knows. I heard I/H/E and a K-Pro does wonders for these cars.

Hondata says they are working on something, but it won't be K-pro. It will be a complete tuning solution like K-pro, just not labeled the same. They do currently offer a reflash that has been proven to make good gains with bolt ons.

for just i/h/e the reflash should do you right (and save you $500)
