thx guys... just waiting on star city to review the tapes and i will be sure to call them up next week...

becareful too you guys... wouldnt want to see this happening to yous...

[supernatural]

hey guys.. just an update and suggestion needed...

my car is now being towed to my smash repairer... they will be fixing the whole car including the electronic side of it... my problem is tat i didnt insure my sound system and my mods (ECU and gearknob) so obviously they will somewhat replace it with OEM? but i do want to get aftermarket ecu and gearknob which i had and was taken off me... is there a way for the workshop to do this??

as im not too sure what the procedure for the workshop to charge the insurance... but is it possible??? really appreciate it if someone with the experience could help me out with this... cheers guys...

swapping a gear knob is pretty easy, DIY alone.

swapping an ECU is easy too, DIY with someone who knows what to do.

i can do it for you?

[supernatural]

oh... sorry for not explaining it properly... wat i meant is... claiming the aftermarket gearknob and ecu under insurance... so instead of getting the oem knob and ecu... the workshop get the aftermarket mods for the car... sounds dodgy i know...

I'm sure the stock Honda ECU that's been out of production for quite a while now would cost a bomb when bought new from Honda and would be financially better for the insurance company to pay for something like an aftermarket PFC or a Hondata S300.

Best advice is to speak to your repairer and explain to them the situation. In most cases, the workshop doing the repairs are usually more than happy to work out a deal with you. Maybe give Honda a call to find out the price on the B18C7 ECU and use that as a negotiation point as to what the repairer should be using.

just got a quote from honda...

ECU $1937.22
gearknob $465.00

thx mugsee and dave for the help...

I have a mate that has a DC2R ECU which he'll be happy to get rid of, if you need it... let me know man, i'll try sort something out with him for you.

[supernatural]

thx for the offer ricky... but looking to get either pfc or s300...

[supernatural]

anyone know a good place to get a good soundsystem??

[SPL_K]

pfft... who needs sound systems!

i should get some better speakers...

i can lend u my stock ecu for the time being if u need shaun... give me a call

[kavehman]

FHRX for the sound system. Edward on Ozhonda had a PFC in stock for 1g i think.

I'm sure insurance would pay for the PFc over the stock ecu.

Far out some of those prices are insane.
