Racelogic do one/used to do one.

They actually had a white Sapphire Cosworth or an E30 325i Sport in their advert for it for a long time.

The white Cossie used to be owned by the guy (Mick) at Hi-tech rolling road in the West Mids I think(?)

I have heard variable reports about how effective it is though - try a search with Racelogic?

I used the Race Logic TC & it was not good & quicker in-gear times were recorded without it. My car had 500bhp at the time which beat the system far too easily & the car always sounded as if it had a misfire.
I am at the mo waiting to fit the Autronics TC which is part of SM4 ECU, im assured it will work but lets wait & see.

I'm sure there was a bloke called Tim who either had the system or was thinking of getting it on his 2wd? From South Coast somewhere...............then again I might have imagined it

ive been lookin at the racelogic system on the supra sites, its a absolute must of the 600 brake + supras, the key to it though is the mapping of it, if its fitted 100% spot on it will still work like a bog-o-shite if its not been set up properly, there are a few people who have gone to great lengths developing software maps for it on the supras to make it work well. i supose the same will be true for a cossie, its not just a matter of fit and forget, it does need quite a lot of small tweaks to get it to be spot on

just don't press the throttle down so far..
If you have traction problems with 265bhp then you have something else that needs sorting out first - suspension (is it lowered? ), bushes, tyres...

oh.. i think what nick's getting at is that you are mistaking your keyboard, which has all the letters of the alphabet on it, for your mobile phone...

I payed for Race Logic to set it up & it was not good, its a relatively cheap & out-moded system thats been surpassed by the latest systems.
