i didnt have any problems with it... i have had it hooked up for 20 min last night and it was fine, not 1 problem... the last laptop i had hooked up to it kept on loosing connection... i may have it started by tonight, just waiting to get a few parts

Mike, I have the same netbook. It wouldn't communicate with my MegaSquirt. I found an old sony viao and it works great.

get one of those police laptop mounts for it so it doesnt fly around

[sasquatch]

you should have gotten the asus festiva zero.....i coulnt help it....those mini laptops r nice and cheap.i had a dark blue when they first came out.
Looking really good.

thanks. ya im hoping it will last a long time... all the thing is gonna do is be used for tuning, its allmost never gonna go on the net so it will probably never get a bug lol.... i think it will die of flying around the car before it gets a bug....

i really like that fuel rail!!

ya its nice but those welds are the only thing i dont like.... im gonna grind them down and polish the heck out of it

also just picked up a cheap "acer aspire one" for $202 out the door brand new but they only had it in a aqua color, not the best color for me lol.... stickers can solve that

UPDATE!!!!

so boxing day went good

all i need is a walbro 255, -6 hard line under the car and a few other little things and i have a 600 hp rated fuel system (will need to get bigger injectors to get 600hp but the rest is good...)

old and sad looking


the new stuff just bought this morning



and the fuel rail with RC 550cc injectors


and all done....


i had some line left over and cause i can take the fittings off and shorten it if i want i didnt feel like cutting the line if i ever want to mount the fuel filter somewhere.... it looks kind of stupid that long but what ever....


the reg and line... ( i still need to hook up the outlet/return...)






more to come...

stay tuned...

oh yeah i totally agree, ive learnt so much getting my first car (festiva) and joining this site. 12 months ago i coulnt even tell you what a fly wheel is ahhaha.

But still not quite up to the knowledge of you guys.

[sasquatch]

lol :p

i dont know... came to me at a young age after taking everything part and seeing how things work, then thinking how to make it better... after finding the internet (never in to it much as a kid...) i learned so much more, the internet is like the best book you will ever own, its got everything and then some more

[NicholasJackson]

im really enjoying this thread

agreed, makes me jealous. How did you learn all this stuff??

i ended up doing a solid mount on the front...

[fastivaB6TG25MR]

did you reinforce your cross member where your front trans mount attaches? i mean other than that one bar that runs under the mount it self... i ripped a mine in half... ended up boxing it in with some 1/8(i think) plate... better be save than have your engine/trans fall on the ground...

[Grey Vw]

my car is gonna be hella fly, mad type jdm yo

This never gets old lol.
