Another Wreck, another Race Car.....

Cheers guys,I'm most of the way through temporarily mounting the dash into my other car.

There's a whole new level of expertise required to set these things up.

A lot needs to be configured, giving it all a trial run in another functioning car is a really good idea to develop the skills needed to set it all up.

The manual actually recommends setting it for the first time with no external inputs so that debugging is easier.

The logger is configured by a file on the CF card which you create with a computer program and the dash is configured over its serial port by a different program or by another file on the CF card.

Being English manufactured there's an inherent obscurity to the usability. Definitely a case of designing the functions first and only considering the end user experience as an after thought.

Once you get in the mindset though it's al pretty logical.

Picked up some windscreens today.

Big logistical effort to organise these. They'd have to be the only MK1 heated windscreens in Oz.

(Before anyone asks, they're all spoken for.)

Nope, purchased direct.

I had a brief opportunity to score free and delicate shipping from the UK so I saved a heap on the freight/import.

I would have grabbed more but this was all they had in stock until the next production run and I had to move fast on the freight offer.
