[Euro] Hondata Update

[BiLL|z0r]

oh oh, When wynode's called in someone rung the bat phone. LOL

Anyway, back on topic , Has anyone we know of have a mild reflash working in their car as we speak/type? Even a prototype or test dumbies from before the launch.

Below is a thread I started this morning on the Hondatech forum (moderated by James from Jtune). I thought I'd repost it here to ask this same question of forumites on Ozhonda:


Hi everyone

I was wondering if anybody here could provide some feedback on their Mild Reflash from last week, given that Jtune began their much-awaited reflashing.

Wouldn't it be a good idea for a bit of positive discussion on how the Euro drives with the Mild Reflash; especially in terms of torque response and the lower v-tec setting? Whilst there has been a lot of criticism about the whole debacle last week of ECUs being fried by faulty Hondata equipment and delays in people getting their ECUs back, surely there's somebody out there who's getting around with the Mild Reflash now?

While I'm of course very disappointed in going 9 days without my ECU without getting the reflash done, I'm clutching at some hope that the product I'm waiting for is going to be worth the stuff-around. I was also pleased that James was honest on the phone about the situation and is refunding my money until the time that non-faulty Hondata equipment is available from the US.

So anybody out there - comments and reviews of the Mild Reflash PLEASE?!!

OK,

Im back from my OS holiday.

My ECU was fried/killed in the mild reflash process.

Im being sent a temp ECU while they get me a new ECU and the proper flash.

I'm giving james a chance to sort it properly as sometime shit happens.

That being said jtunes perfomance in resolving this not insignificant issue will be a good indication of how they will go in the long term. So we'll see. Im hopeful he will be able to sort it out for me as im still loooking forward to the reflash.

Ill keep you guys posted on how it turns out.

**** thats unlucky suntzu i wanted to see how your ride would go with the mild flash, SS headers and fujita CAI intake

[TODA AU]

In all fairness I just had a phone call from James addressing my issues of my car being undriveable due to the harmonics inside the car, and the exhaust at 102db.

He has offered to do whatever is required within the next week to sort out my issues at no cost.

Thanks TODA AU for pissing me off so bad I let off some steam
But you still need to watch that smart ass mouth!!

I’m happy to hear you spoke to James & have a satisfactory solution arranged.
I apologize for maddening you to the point of explosion. The written word online is often more inciting than that which is spoken.
My intention was for you to contact James & bitch directly to him & perhaps I should have said just that.
In any case, now that you have spoken to James, don’t you feel better?

Regarding the cup of concrete comment
It seems at lot of you don’t speak the same colloquial language that I do. (My bad)
There is no malicious intent to send anyone to the bottom of the ocean attached.
It means quite simply to “have a cup of shut the f uck up!”
(I guess now I’m an even bigger arsehole for explaining it.)

Re problems with J-Tune etc
IMO J-Tune’s biggest mistake was releasing any information about their packages before they were 100% ready. Because of the early release of information & prototypes, customer’s expectations have grown & this has lead to a fair degree of impatience.
Combine this with a few teething problems that the end customer should never be privy too & you have the current situation of reduced confidence in the product.
This sort of thing won’t happen with the FN2 CTR products.
If thinking this makes me an idiot or a prick, then so be it.

Paragraph 3 pretty well sums it up.

Ok,

an update from james. Im getting my temporary mild flash ECU tommorow. its a beta tune but very similar to the final. This will get me running while they ship my new ECu and keys in 2 weeks.

So im pretty confident ill be able to report on some basic results in a few days that you might be interested in.

Should be resolved ok. cheers

[tinkerbell]

sorry to bother you, but are you running any existing mods Suntzu?

Gotta agree with Tony......

The rest appears to be a lame attempt at an apology with some sarcasm thrown in....

But I will accept your "apology", (can't speak for the other "girls" though)

...and rise above "tearing it to shreds" as it is probably the best you can do considering............
