I don't really know what you're trying to say...
but in case by any chance you're thinking that if we are willing to pay the high cost so we can be like "men", I think that's immature... We just know how to value our money very well, that's a very mature thinking of our personal finances...

Personally, I wouldn't buy anything WR. I had a couple friends with Civics that went with the WR intakes cause they were cheap, rusted on them in like a month.
The SRT HFI system for the RX is scheduled for March I think.
$500 for a piggyback ECU? I mean damn Area 51's piggyback ECU is $225 for us IS owners.
I'd wait out for the SRT HFI system for the RX. But hey if you have the money to spend on a piggyback ECU, go for it.
Btw, I am in no way related to SRT. Just an IS owner planning on getting an RX on Wednesday.

Chan,
Good for you, I'm sure you're going to love the RX.
We're all waiting to see the final dyno results and the price. We're also weighing out the HP/Price ratio, to see if it's even worth to buy the ECU. Anyways, I guess if SRT will come out with their own version, then we'll have more options for us as consumers....

I just want to know what justify's as an ECU?
Would someone please clear this up..?
I for one know that the Competitors ECU is not an ECU, but just a bunch of parts from a Calculator.. Ask someone you know who has one to open it up..
I wouldn't put anything that you just guess how much your going to trick the car with resistors and diodes to get more ignition timing out of the car.. And adding a resistor to advance the ignition timing 4-6 degrees through out the power band, that's not too good.. Most cars don't like added timing throughout the powerband, which is why Most of the Competitors dyno sheets look like a lie detector graph.. Wake up people, smell the bag of SH*$ burning on your porch? If you wanna compair ECU's it's just fair to compair apples with apples...
As far as the intake rusting through? I don't think so.. Our intakes are Aluminum, which cannot RUST.. I think where ever your friends bought the intakes from, got hornswaggled... We have seen many people buying our filters and buying a cheap chrome pipe, and then dubbing it WR..
Get on the GS or SC boards, people love our product and know it's a quailty product.. Be your own judge, don't be led by the general public.... Don't be a lemming..

lol... its funny...
You see people post opinions about how much they like or hate SRT and WR...
but really, it all depends on the product itself and the price... i could careless if one company is better then the other, but if the product they make is quality and the price is right, then they got my business

I did some pre-programming and we took it around the block..
It feels like it pulls just like the IS300..
That car got 20Hp and 20Tq..
We'll see after friday..

If you guys want Area 51 to make something for our RX(Yes I got one too now) start a petition. Area 51 actually listens to their customers and if there's a demand for something, they'll meet the demand.
