Yeah, it's a fact that most CL members are on the west coast... but we need sales numbers! LOL

I don't know about you guys but I see ISFs quite often since it came out in 2008. One day after work (probably 2009) I got stuck on traffic and I had 2 ISFs next to me, all three were obsidian black. What are the odds of having this front row again?

Back on topic, how close are we from getting Novel in the US tuning our cars? Have they tried tuning the USDM ECU?

Any ECU, that is 2000 ish for a tune is never going to be in my car.

Call me a supra guy.. But 1500 for an AEM, sure... 1500 for something I can't ever tune.. no thanks.

If it was 1500 like the VW unlock that lets you mess with everything SURE

I have a tuner here in Dallas that has volunteered to buy and test this on my F, he is very well rounded in tuning and is cheaper to fly around from DFW than overseas

Please keep us updated as to functionality confirmation with the USDM ECU and I will volunteer my car as the guinea pig!

Yes, this is one of the test ECUs that was used in my car.
The first round of testing was successful but the SARD CUVU ECU is still in the testing phase for the North American market. Once testing is complete more information will become available.
