I can tell you for a fact that the OBD-II debug port won't work on an OBD-I ecu. It'll have a connect error, and they'll fail you.
You can wire up an OBD-II ecu to the inputs, and use resistors on the outputs, essentially making a dummy-ecu; just to pass emissions. You'll have to do quite a bit of work though, be warned. It's not a project for the light hearted.

In most states it's not illegal to downgrade, but it's very difficult to pass, because after 95 you're car has to report certain information that obd1 ECUs cant report.
So, yeah, that's a fail.
In Cali it's outright illegal to downgrade OBDs.
For emissions in TX you generally pay the same guy 100 bucks every year to put his corolla on the tester.
the solution here will probably be a $150 waiver since i dont feel comfortable registering the car in another location just to bypass emissions
im not going to take a bunch of shit apart just to pass, it simply is not worth it for me
anyway, the transmission is back in the car and ill have it running again shortly. im really holding out for some decent, dry weather.

It looks good Matt 
What do you have planned for it? It'd look nice with a little drop. The rims that are on it look decent... at least in the small pic I can see on my cellphone. What kind of mpg are you getting out of it? How much are you paying a month for insurance on it? Just curious.
Oh and I'm sure its been mentioned previously, but whatever happened to that ticket of yours?

I want to drop it a bit mainly. I would also like to put some projected HID's and a set of foglights on the car (considering I will be driving this in almost any weather besides sunny), the wheels are American Racing. Cheap I suppose, but they will do the trick for now.
It gets ~20mpg in the city and 24-26 on the freeway. Ive put almost 200 miles on the car and ive only had it for a little over a day ^_^
My family pays ~$220 a month for insurance on five cars including my accord and civic, my sisters civic, my dads accord, and my moms f150. That's full coverage on all of them. I'm sure that I account for almost all of that though, haha. I'll ask my dad more specifically on what we pay per month on the Accord.
If you want to go with hid's check out v-leds.com. They are a local companey here in washington and they have all kinds of led and hid lighting. I have been using there products now for about a year now and have no complaints. The car is looking good. In the spring when I start running hwy 20 again I would love to swing through spokane and check it out in person. keep up the awesome build man.
thanks for the link, ill check em out
itd be nice to get them from somewhere local so if i have problems i can actually talk to someone in person
you definitely should come through spokane sometime and check it out, ill be driving the civic in early spring when the weather clears up
im going to do leds in the cluster of my civic and my accord. i hate how dim the clusters are. as for the tail lights i just might do that. first on the list for the accord is some amber corners (the ones on the car leak a little moisture)
baller! did you ever put up any more pics of your bike? i think i only saw the very first one you posted
This one is an older sv. It has two 1157 style bulbs for the tail/brake light stock.
I'll take some pics of it tonight when I get home. Here's what I've got so far:
Bike - a set on Flickr
I never really got into taking pictures of a bike.

the bike looks awesome, how long have you had that again?
what makes you recommend against projected hids?
Projector HIDs are a pain to install, and they're really cool, until you find a good set of halogen headlamps. My civic has a bulb that's going, and it costs $100 for a new bulb, not cool. The headlamps on my sv650 are better than my civic with infinity FX35 projectors. My fit's headlamps fit in-between the sv and the civic, but they are better than my brother's 03 civic. All said and done, I probably spent $800 on my retrofit, just on parts.

The only real advantage is that you can aim the cutoff higher, but with american headlights, there's no way to adjust the height from inside the car, so that sucks.
New headlamp assemblies, brand new 80/95W bulbs, rewire the headlamp harness with decent wire, and you'll have a lighting system that's better than stock, and maybe better than HID projectors.
I've had the bike since about October I think? Dunno. I think I've put like 1500 miles on it.
