its a waste of money, if your gona go and buy hondata get the full kpro, its worth it, even if all yer gona do is run the cai map on it which is still better than the reflash. no your car wont lose any functionality, it would be just the same.

If you buy the reflash for $300, it's only $500 more for the full Kpro upgrade. So you will save some $$

It depends on your goals honestly... its not a waste of money if you don't plan on doing more then your typical bolt-ons.

If you do decided to do a little more work then KPRO is the way to go! No questions asked!!!!

Those kind of deals are hard to come by, especially for PNF ecu's.

Trust me, I've been looking. And usually when they DO come up, it's sold within 24hrs.

I'm not bitter or anything though

What year DC5 do you have? Like others have said, the reflash will limit you to your basic bolt ons. But if you have an 05-06, you may run too lean with a rh. Btw, I have an 05 with I/E/reflash and was pretty happy with it knowing that I wasn't going to do anything drastic to it power-wise. So like others have been saying, it depends on your goals.

kpro is an ecu that has been modified so that you can connect a pc to it to tune your vehicle using a program called kmanager. its made by sending your stock ecu into hondata and they modify it and send it back with software. newer models of kpro can even datalog with out the pc connected. for more information check out http://www.hondata.com/
