Thanks for all the support guys, i didn't know how everyone would take to the Euro. It was a oh what the hell decision after taking one for a spin. I'm really happy with the purchase as the car can be as cruisie as hell when your just making the daily commute and really surprised me when driven like a sports car (as everyone witnessed at the breakfast run) :P

I don't believe they are under powered, they use what they have well. Don't get me wrong, its no K20A but Suspension and bracing mods first yo!

How does it compared to the ep3? as I was thinking of moving away from my ep3r to a euro, mainly for the daily factor.

To be honest I don't think you can really compare them, they are built for 2 completely different reasons.

The EP is raw, harsh and is all about doing with ought any kind of comfort to achieve the best performance based drive. An amazing machine to say the least.

The CL is like a Swiss Army knife, it has everything LOL, it's not short on Luxury. Comfy leather electric heated seats, premium sound system, sunroof dual zone climate control, cruise control, rain sensing wipers and heaps more with ought babbling on. You won't be disappointed as I find it nice and sporty, it has enough power to have some fun, and the breakfast cruise crew can back that up =P and in one section I don't believe Shak could pull away hahaha <3 that torquey 2.4

I think the best part is when u just want to get home after a reallllllly long day and it turns into a cruisie comfortable luxury saloon and u love every moment of it <3

I can't wait for my Tein S-Techs, Koni Shocks and RE002's to arrive so she's lower and in turn much more capable in the corners. With the way the car handled itself at RNP I can't wait to get some proper tyres and suspension on it to see how much better it will be

Does the ECU you want offer the same as K-Pro, or is it purely a "plug-and-play" ecu, with no adjustment.

Because if it is, I would recommend you get a 50' VTC to really liven up the top end of the power band.

Basically the Euro ECU can have aftermarket maps uploaded directly to it unlike EP3/DC5, you need to do this with a Hondata flash pro but at the moment only works on the USDM ECU found in the Acura TSX.
Alternatively there are set tunes already available via companies like JTune who can upload maps directly to the JDM ECU found in the CL9.
I'm still researching the possibility of a Kpro... I'm lucky to have guidance from dRHonda who has great experience will all of the above.

I'm still deciding what path I want to take as I'm not exactly trying to build a track monster although a little extra power won't come unwelcome.

U can get kpro like mine but lose vsa n cruise control and have check lights that you can't get rid off. If u want to keep the daily comforts then I think flashpro is your best bet...

What do u want to do that kpro can and flashpro can't do?

Taking that into consideration along with the flash pro working out cheaper with Acura TSX ECU, flash pro looks like the better all round option, and there wouldn't be anything the k pro offers that I want over the flash pro... Just haven't had the time to sit down and get all the facts straight.
Thanks for the info mate

It's cool coming home after a pretty shit day and having some presents on your bed.
