That sux man...looks like the classic cob-job of someone who didnt know wtf they were doing...i hate that. if it was me i would suck it up and go to Mitsu...but you can probably get out cheaper. Post in the parts wanted thread on 3si or look through the parts for sale...i think theres someone parting out a 1st gen VR4...

Just curious but how often do you actually use the ECS feature? I'm planning to change my struts this summer (yes guys, I still haven't done it yet even though I have all the parts) and the shocks I got won't have the ECS feature. The thing is though is that I never use it anyways so it won't make much of a difference. But yeah, if you don't use it then I would suggest just unplugging the wires so that the light will stop blinking. If you decide to go that route, the wires are located here: http://www.3sxperformance.com/faq/ecsmodule/index.asp
Well, I mean the guide is there. :p

by unplugging the wires would it mess with any other type of computer in the car

Yeah, I doubt that it would affect the computer. I was looking at your picture though and I'm wondering...can you just solder the wires back together or is it super broken broken?
