well just like any type of car no matter what your doing to it, if you have a faulty part you have a higher possibility of pushing it to its limit when you start modding! Common issue! Besides I was using the car to drag when I did this. I just wanted to see the difference - and yes, the ecu does change the out put of your car, as well as the red line and vtec range... I had also just swaped the tranny to a ls (longer gear ratio) and I had several other mods - all those things combined somehow ended in a broken cv joint!
SO NO IM NOT KIDDING
