Its only like that whilst I was turning the engine over to get the check sensors were working correctly etc.

My battery charger/conditioner does both normal and sealed battery charging.

Love Lee's comment on using the lap timer once! That was when we set it up on the roundabout near my house to check if it works!! I think 7 seconds was the fastest lap.

if the aim is as easy as the race technoligys (which i belive it is) then it is a piece of cake

i pluged my 9 pin serial into the ecu converter, then pluged that into the dash

you then use the dash software to display any of the outputed data on the dash

acording the the race tech site this is the list that comes from your ecu



obviously some need sensors wiring into the ecu to work but over half them will be avalible just from ecu sensors

All those and more available straight from the ECU on Lee's setup.

The good news is I finished some bits off on the T6 wiring today and the White Shed is running again!

Got another new Toy for it! well 2 new ones really. AIM pista dash and AIM smartycam

bought one for Stu toooo as a pressie to say thanks for the hours of hard work

http://www.smartycam.com/index_eng.htm

check out some of the videos in the Gallery. The camera works directly with our AIM dashes.... and overlays the data you want on the film. Ubercoolness and quality viewing at post track day booooze ups!

We can watch again and again and see just how fast me and Stu were going and what Gforce we were pulling at the exact moment we both pissed around the outside of Super Mike Rainbum midcorner...

and also means I can get GPS laptimes on the AIM pista dash and PREDICTIVE laptimes... so you can change lines when out on track and see how that affects your laptime instantaneously....

My new AIM pista dash also data logs and maps against GPS as well so you can see if you had low old pressure or high charge temps or going lean at certain points of the track etc


COOOOOOOL!!!!!!

I predict you will spend so much time looking at the data, you will not be concentrating on driving and will crash or be slower
