Re: Anybody know what this thing is?
Those things with the tape on them are relays and/or the alarm controller for the aftermarket alarm you have installed. That's one of the worst looking installs I've seen.

Cut the zip-ties and relocate the relays further in the dash with zip-ties and electrical tape then try to clean up the rest with more zip-ties and tape.

Re: Anybody know what this thing is?
Eh, I actually installed a VTEC light, so I kinda monitor it

https://www.civicforums.com/forums/2...n-opinion.html

It really depends on your throttle, at about 60mph, any slight throttle increase, such as 2mph increase, will activate VTEC
