Maybe he was feeling a little ill when he did the install, because a healthy Sid would not let that pass inspection.

Oh! Can't wait to build a carbon fiber Pez dispencer. No messy cables or hardware to cause unecessary interference with the design integrity. Best of all, I'll have 1, the only 1 Did I mention, it will be water proof & will never need ironing.......ever.
And, NO I won't share any pics when completed.

Did I win???? Yet?????

Thre is a guy down in Houston that is doing the math to calculate instantaneous HP with the G2X and a Mini. I think you will able to program a channel to do the math and have it display as an alternate on the Dash unit.

The logging capabilies are incredible. Files are very small, a 25 min track session recording 14 different channels takes slightly less then 2mb.

We'll have to map the Dragon next year Sid.

Yes yes yes...I got it But where's the "buy it now" button?

In the mean time...here's the latest "bad photo of the year" award...replumbing and heat shielding of new harness...

Yes I know...M7 and RMW in the same picture...think this thread will spontaneously burst into flames?

Engine compartment looks great. A few bling items like the Forge bottles and caps and you'll be there.

Oh, and that RMW plate on the valve cover...the one you were going to send me after the Dragon..well I think it got lost in the To Do list.

I know better than to even try. Outta my league. I can just admire.

And curse once in a while.

And sling another Union Jack on my car in a futile attempt to restore my feeling of self worth.

I have the design template...Jan was suppose to have them manufactured and sent out to the members...I think we need to pin him down on this one...I wouldn't mind a real silk screened plate myself instead of this vinyl refurbished old plate that is starting to show it's age...
