Hey, there's no fooling you guys is there?....:D

Yes, it was a little footage my dad shot a few months ago...since then I've been working on a lot of small details prior the chassis painting and final assembly.

Thanks for the interest so far.

No problem at all Alan. I can only guess at the hours you have spent. The effort you have gone to is clearly evident. :thumb2:

Thanks for the teaser :) :) . Can you video a walk around with the car running? Also how did you get the Honda running ECU wise?

[Meerkatguy]

Yep, sure. We can do that.

In answer to your second question...I'm using the Hondata Kpro system in which they add a circuit board to your existing ECM giving you the ability to communicate with it and set things up....one important thing is being able to have ignore the imobillizer.....:D
