Has Hondata cracked the security coding in the new Si? I remember in December they were still working on it. If they still aren't done getting through all teh firewalls and crap in the ECU then right now there is no reflash. The only way to retune would be to go to a standalone ECU. Except that makes a whole new mess of problems. And since alomost all of Honda's ECUs have been under the dash, most people don't produce weatherproof ECUs for something like the new Si that keeps its ECU in the engine bay. The new Si is pretty cool, but there are a lot of barriers in the way of tuning it. I think the electronics age is going to reveal the men from the boys in the tuning world. If you can't get past the traction controls and stability controls and all that jazz then you will go out of business. And the people who are into it for fun and style will leave the segment for something easier to play with. A little off topic, but it needs to be said.
