I got quoted $125 from a wreckers for a new one, im sure i could get one for $80 if i shop around.

But if i get it repaired my car will be working tomoro, plus if i get another one. it could be prone to failing again.

Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

Yeah, figured it was better to bite the bullet now, rather then task the risk later.

That sucks.

Ohwell, got the ecu back today. runs mint again. :)

Except it sounded, like a subaru for about 15 minutes when i plugged it in, and ran like a bag of shit.

Like, note for note, sounded exactly the same :S?

Even up through the rev range. strange :S
