would like to fit an engine monitor into the rs500 now that its almost done.
what makes/options are there and does anyone have any pics of them fitted into their cars to give me some ideas of where to put one
thanks
jay

oh yes and any suppliers/prices would be appreciated

 

what about the SECS monitors?

got mine where the clock goes.

 

are they about the best?

 

theres three options
pectel
collins
secs

they are all as useful as eachother

the pectel needs pectel software, and the data stream turned on in the ecu to run it,,,but its ugly in its standard case

havent dont anything with collins, but i know its good

and secs will work with any cossie ecu, and now comes in a blue colour

 

SECS is the way forward IMO. Looks good, works well.

Mike Rainbird is your man for that

 

looks like its an secs one then

 

SECS one gets my vote too, quality product, and normally supplied by MikeR without drama

 

just rang mike r and he hasnt got them until the end of the week,so i'll order one then.great price too

 

Dont use mine as secs just pd me of with the sevice he gives

 

are the secs ones built by that simon fella who gets regularly slated on here for poor customer service?

 

Thats him m8.

 

Yes

But you shouldn't have any problem with Mike!

 

NO THEY ARE NOT .

Simon handed over manufacturing to two really sound chaps Spencer and Nick. I have had no issues with them what-so-ever, so no need to panic or be concerned .

 

pectel all the way cause its got a big twisty knob

 

ok,if mike is happy enough then i shouldnt have any worries-surely...

ill still be ringing at the end of the week for one mike

 

off topic slightly but my bro's SECS monitor is fooked. (does'nt even come on )

1) is there a repair service?

2) is it worth fixing money wise?

cheers.

 

1) is there a repair service?
Yes

2) is it worth fixing money wise?
Depends what is wrong. Can be assessed and then a price for repair given to you for you to make that decision?

 

pm on its way Mike.

 

I bought my monitor ages ago and it was built by Simon. lasted approx 2 years before the display gave me all funky readings and by this time Mike had taken over and Spencer was making/repairing these.

Mike sorted out Spencer's contact details and the rest is history. Top work and service from these two and they didnt charge me

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

 

how much r they?

 

I have got two one in saff and cortina

Simon is a good bloke but very busy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nick and spencer are top both are very good at what they do

No probs at all good product

highly recomended.

alot more functional and rugged to me

 

That's nice Mark
