Here is a link to the new unit.

the new program sucks , everyone in the ECU Forum has had problems and even some of the gurus have made their own programs .

Trust me I wish it was . I am usinig the wolf system . It works great its just not friendly to the average person

I hate pinks. Sooo much drama for a couple of drag runs. Now, I think we need some time trial episodes of PINKS. VIR, Summit, any road course. Now THAT I'd watch.

well, Pete, they have had a road racing episode. I didn't see it. I actually do enjoy the show though, but the drag race is ..... well drag racing. I have done it and found it boring, but better than a day at work I guess. I suppose it is better than dyno drag racing.

But different strokes for different folks. I don't like it, but there are plenty of people who do..... I wil also say that I have gone to some pro level drag races and had a good time. The pro teams are good at what they do. But it is nothing that I have much desire to do.

But with that said, I like hanging out with other car people that I have become friends with. That is why I think our club should go to one of the drag strips around here and do a test and tune night. Anything car related is fun with you friends.

I guess that is why I am so disappointed that I am not going to VIR this weekend, btu I just have too much stuff to do this weekend. I hate computers.

I am not racing. No time to do anything right now. I haven't even had time to unload the race tires from my car from the last autocross.

this forum has become a bunch of ladies !!! another night of racing and no members to step up and run . We all boast about our cars , but we dont back it up ????? If you r worried about the WALL then SLOW DOWN and enjoy the night . There has been a total of 1 RX & out at Langley this year . I'm hoping with a little help to be out ther next week . But this is a trak car and I have little hours behind the wheel . I cant imagine a daily driver out ther . LETS STEP UP AND make this happen . Just need a little help here .

If no one is interested please tell me to shut up !!!!!!!!!!! And i promise I will ( at least about Langley )

I plan to give it a try, but as all of you know, my car is slow, but I think I can probably do OK in the time attack, not great, but OK.

I just had stuff come up and I could not go... Sorry guys or else I would have been there.

In the mean time, anybody want to come beat me at an autocross, I am at plenty of events. Plan on going to Sumit Point in September if anyone else wants to come. It is a great track.

I'm just about fully prepped for CSP now. I finally picked up some 710s, too! So... I'll take you up on the autocross - you just havent' been there a lot lately

I WILL run my RX-7 at Langley, but I'm in the middle of putting everything back together from the track prep this past week. I've also got to take a trip to the dyno to finalize the tune on the megasquirt.

I love VIR. If any of you guys come out to hang out and watch the NASA event on VIR North, say hi - I've got the grey 2nd gen with a black hood. I've only seen two other RXs there so far, so we need to bump up the population!

glad to hear the wife is ok , the hospital is never a good thing . When you get some free time maybe you can make it out to watch we had about 10 people out there last night
