Ohio ECO MODIFICATION SHOP (cars for sale and ECO MODDING)

[WD40]

How much are we talking for a tuned/tunable ECU for a 92 VX, are you planning on doing a core exchange?

[UltArc]

I hope you realize I am not criticizing or anything negative at all. I am just curious why you do not sell the tunbes uwrite, in addition to this. If I built up my car, I would not want to trade to yours and have to do everything again, I would rather just buythe tune.

From your responses, it seems like you may take my responses as criticisms or speculation, rather, I am just curious about the potential missed opportunities that could net you more income: selling tunes, and/or doing aerodynamic modifications.

They are also going to sell the tunes / chipped ECU's. They had another thread explaining this, but it got merged back into this one and is no longer the first post…

I think they plan on selling prototype cars as well, so if you are struggling to find a clean VX or want a newer bodystyle with VX or better stats, this could also be a good option for you.

Any Pricing information? I'm pretty interested because im planning on an ultimate MPG car and ECU is the only thing I don't have the capabilities/knowledge to do.

Also, you need a website to start getting to word out

See I talked to him pesonally an the ecus are reasonable. The can and will also do a 02 delete so no more 200$ sensors. It runs off of map sensor. I'm just torn weather to keep the vx stock or to chase bigger mpg with ecu. Not to threadjack sorry. If you pm he'll tell you a price for obd1 setup not my place to post.

I must have missed that part. I've read the whole thread, but it has been a while since then.

A mass produced simple belly pan or air dam could be pretty profitable . Aero wise, and cash wise

Yep. Especially for the mass produced 92-00 civics out there. I could see them having it being a 2 or 3 piece set so they could easily interchange between a sedan, coupe, and hatchback. All three body styles would share the same frontal engine area, but the 2nd or 3rd pieces would cater to the length of the car.
The shop seems to take pride in the appearance of the cars and being able to drive them under “normal” conditions. So doing things like a belly pan is very appealing to them as it adds value, but is not visible. It would also be a good opportunity for them to design grill blocks that would appear stock and other “classy” looking area mods.

I was thinking the same thing, but as a business there are a lot of liability issues to worry about. If you or I build a grill block and belly pan and the car overheats and blows a head gasket it is our own fault. If somebody buys a car that they expect to perform flawlessly and the same happens then it is a big problem. Or if a belly pan comes loose and takes out a brake line... sometimes keeping it "simple" (not that ECU reprogramming is simple) is the best way.

Most aftermarket companies get around this by saying “not for street use” or “for off road use only.” Expect the same to be done here. Although many people buy the products and use them on their street cars, the legal responsibility falls on the driver for using said products on the street.
