Jim, are you thinking of changing your ECU???
If you are, I may be interested in buying the Motec off you, as I need an
ECU for my race car, where I will use such functions as data logging, track
mapping, etc.
What car is the Motec currently in?? Datto 1600?? 180b??? FJ20?? SR20?? I'd
love some advice if you have it set up on an FJ20 (or even if you dont for
that matter!!)
You can email me - [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you like, or on list is fine.
Thanks
Matt
P.S. My Race car is a 1600 with an FJ20 turbo (and its almost
finished!!hehe)
