    It will be the foundation to the performance of your vehicle and in the end will be your most bang for your $$$ sense it will make all future parts perform to their fullest making all your future parts be even more worth the money.

    KPRO now do it. That will be the best modification you have ever done, as it is like the other member said, your foundation starts there.

    thanks man for the offer, but tonight is the last night, but i can get it for 945 brand new. but what do i have to do with your k pro, to get my car running good? do i just take it in and get it tuned? or whats the process of having kpro, or a reflash? ive never really understood what to do, once i get k pro or a reflash

    I think the difference between those two would be similar to the difference between a CD-R and a CD-RW. With CD-RW you can delete, change, and add stuff, but CD-R is like a one time final thing. Someone correct me if I'm wrong :/

    yeah, i know its something like that, but where should i go to get it tuned? anywhere in the ohio area? and do i have to send my ecu and stuff in? cuz my car is a daily driver and i cant be without a car for 2 weeks cuz i got school starting in 2 weeks

    to get kpro new, yes you have to send in your ecu and you car will be down about a week until it comes back to you. Once you get it back you plug it in, load up a basemap and drive it around until you can get it tuned...we cant tell you where to get it tuned, go to a place around you that tunes on kpro, search yourself here with a list http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/ecu-t...locations.html

    now if you get it used, once you get it in the mail just unplug yours, plug in the used kpro...load up a basemap and than go to a tuner

    so it seems used is best for you since you need the car

    what do you mean "just unplug mine"? if i buy it used, why dont i have to send it in anymore? jersheyjew is willing to sell me his, and i wasnt sure to buy it or not used. he said he needs to keep his ecu, so would i have to send it in still if i got it used from him?
