I need to grab a used EVO X LICP and I believe I have all the parts for that work.

 

See if you could find a stock one for cheap.

Sri, what is all needed for the nav evoscan thing? I need a retard list (meaning piece by piece)

 

OP2.0 : approx 200.00
GPSunit : 385.00
Generic USB Hub if you want to do AFR monitoring as well: 20.00
USB to Serial FTDI cable for Wideband monitoring : 20.00
--------------------------
Total: 625

Yeah, it can get expensive if you add everything up. But you have to compare it with the cost of gauges, installation and a GPS unit together.

BTW, I really like the GPS. It actually shows buildings in 3D when you're close to downtown philly. I like that about it. Makes it easy to navigate. Map updates are available, but no live traffic.


I have this. Is the LICP on the RA not as good as on the X? If memory serves me right, changing the Hotside to a hard pipe is what really matters. The LICP on the X is the cold pipe, and really doesn't matter if you change it or not.

Dan, I got the Bumper off in about 15 minutes total. And that was my first time!! You maybe thinking of the time it took you do the whole swap.


Yes, it works for the RA as well. But you need to enable Mode23 in the ECU. I'll bring my netbook with me too just in case to CBP. You can see it in action in mine. I basically took a GTR layout and edited it with MS Paint to give all that I need. The device then simply overlays the numbers according to the positions specified in the template2.txt file. The organization is going to change soon. Hamish is working on building a Gauge builder for the Nav Unit. That dude works like 18 hours a day.

 

You only got that half right!. Its actually Toyota/Lexus and Honda/Acura. Indians value reliability and low cost of maintenance above all. Performance comes in the end. Its unfortunate. Its basically the "lets just play safe" mentality. It gets magnified once they come to a foreign country, add to that the group mentality. Everyone in my family and the Indian community in general looks at me like "WTF is wrong with this guy, why can't he just do what we do?" Therein lies the problem.

Did you know that a Minivan is also almost guaranteed even if its your first kid? I hate that kind of wasteful expenditure. I always make fun of my sister and sister-in-law for buying vans for no reason. There's no reason they wouldn't be safer in a sedan. they're all misguided souls.

 

Josh, the dude on crutches is clearly the one who messed with your car. Think you can catch him?

 

I'm late to the game but there is without a doubt, an airbag in the A-pillar. I treated that damn thing like a bomb when I installed Dans gauges. Don't believe everything you read on the internet. The EVOscan GPS setup is a really good deal considering all it comes with. My GPS doesn't hold a battery charge anymore and I'm considering getting it.

 

Just trying to catch up for today....


Agreed. I just wish some of these PS3 guys would turn down their rap music!

What are you running NASA or something with that thing?


Mine summer hour plan is pretty good too, except mine is every other Friday, and I get out at 1pm. Plenty of time to get out of work, wash the car, and head to Maple Grove for racing at 5pm on Friday nights.


I'm talking about the X's here.... but EcuTeck owned everything, and from what I believe, still does. That's not to say EcuFlash hasn't made up ground, because it has. But a year ago when we got tuned, EcuFlash couldn't stand next to EcuTeck. I can see where EcuFlash has some benefits, but I never plan on doing my own tuning, so I don't really care.

I don't see why I would want/need to go to EcuFlash at this point.

 

i thought those airbags only went off when an impact sensor was triggered and they couldn't go off by messing with them. Like the ones mounted in the steering wheel where the horn is, you can smack that horn around like it owes you $ and it won't pop the bag.

 

anyone have a carfax account? need to run a few vins...

 

Cool, but I can't ummmm like you know say something in response to that. So PM.


Ha ha... stop hacking the hell out of that thing.

 

So whats new everyone?

Figured id poke my head in and say hey as i havnt been on too much.

Anything going down meet wise anytime soon?

 

You almost got that. I donate a lot of processor cycles to Folding@HOME. My PS3 runs like crazy crunching numbers for the university. The dual Nvidia SLI will do numbercrunching several times faster. Its my way of contributing to society.

Well, just check the evoscan gps thing I posted, you cannot get it to work with EcuTek. That's reason enough for me to stay away from proprietary technologies that lock us up .....cough.....apple....cough. Granted I did not know at the time that this device would be available, but its the anticipation that something good will come out of it if enough of the community supports it. And that's the reason I support the gps thing so much by posting templates and gauge layouts.

But then again, I want know the intricacies of tuning. I really do, and that was the reason I stuck to opensource.

I dont know what you mean by "Ecutek owns everything". Can you please elaborate? Majority of the Evo X owners today use Cobb or ECUFlash, and Cobb is dying out too. They simply cannot match the feature-set.

By going opensource, if you ever have new parts that need tuned, you do not need to look for an EcuTek authorized dealer. You can even get remote tunes. If you have more mods planned in the future, going EcuTek will prove pointless. I think you'll be better off going opensource even if you're not interested in tuning.

EDIT: Thanks Dan for pointing out. I understand how my above comments might have sounded inappropriate, it was unintended. It was merely an honest opinion stated more strongly than it should've been. Consider it my shortcoming in terms of online etiquette.

 

I'm sorry, I forget how geeky I can get sometimes. I'll send you my number by PM so we can talk. It'll be easier than to type the whole damn thing.

 

Andy, would you stop fooling around and join me on COD on the PS3 ? How about you Petey? C'mon guys, we need more recruits!!!
