What's interesting is that 7 owners, we do all sorts of crazy shit with the engine, yet when it comes to mods like the digital logicon, we give up and say it's too hard.

Honda and Nissan owners on the other hand, thrive on mods like this, and from what I've read, for them it isn't much easier to do.

I just wanted to put this out there....

Priorities.... I would conclude us rotorheads are more concerned with how our cars drive than how they look, hence we don't waste too much of our time and cash on mods that are essentially cosmetic.

We have better taste than they do.

Basically what others have said...

I can get the JDM FSM.
I can read most of the diagrams, and anything else that I can't decipher, I can get translated very easily.
Electrical work is my forte.
It's just the matter of putting in the time and effort to do this.

My old, stock turbo has been spewing oil for a while now.
I just swapped in a hybrid just to take care of the smoking exhaust.
...retune Haltech.
...add bigger fuel pump.
...retune Haltech.

Yes, I've got other things that take priority right now in my life.
