I don't know what's delaying this -- it was basically set to go early Saturday morning. The only thing I can imagine is that James Mullins is traveling this weekend, since he's the one responsible for finally getting it up.

I'll keep checking today.

Just a note here -

I have not played with it to see how much difference it makes, but changing the speed signal will affect the power steering. The speed-sensitive power steering uses the speed signal after it's processed by the speedometer. Honda did that so it would be difficult to just disconnect the speedo to reduce the apparrent mileage.

The speed sensor signal goes into the speedometer where it is modified and then sent to the power steering control box. If you remove the speed signal completely, the power steering control gets pissed off and shuts down. My guess is that it will still operate with a -28% signal, but it will always think you are driving slower than you really are, which may noticeably change the response of the steering.

Of course you could get around that by using TWO yellow boxes, one before the speedo and one after to adjust it back where it belongs. But I didn't say that.
