Wow,

Thank you for that link,

I wonder how much that system would cost?

I bet it will be expensive.

Way out of my price league.

Isn't it funny that you can tune a factory computer for Vats.

But that site I went to said $900 to change the computer.

Are they just thieves?

I am happy I have a couple of websites to view, thank you Guys.

And a tuning tool to research.

Smarter every day!

:)

2nd paragraph down the page it talks about Aussie fords.

I bet this is worth a fortune.

Something I will never be able to do.

I know there are U.S guys importing V8 commodores from Australia and converting them to left hand drive,

so I would suggest there must be someone importing Fords as well.

Dave,
The art of tuning / ecu modification has been a big secret in the past but thanks to alot of DIY brands and diy enthusiests, the world (internets) is
youre oyster!

Nistune (developed in aus! ) for nissan stuff
megasquirt, build it yourself ecu that runs anything you like.

HPtuners software was $950, priced may have changed with the falling dollar.
Add a laptop and a o2 sensor and you are ready to rock.

Summit racing lists the msd atomic efi for $2150usd plus shipping (and no doubt tax) so its not within everyones budget
Dan.
Team B3, OG Worlds car, B5m.
Plus some other junk :D

I want to say wind screen wipers.


I once had a stick bug attached to my fender, I thought it was a twig that was stuck to the car, so I went to pull it off and it moved :shock: He stayed there the whole trip to the hardware store and back.

Some local scenery. I could fill this thread up with so many photos, but I must select carefully.

That is nice. I think I have been there. Jasper National Park?

Edit: Looked at the title of the pic, much closer than I thought. Sweet fishing in Canmore and Kananaskis country.

I was turned away at one point this summer due to bear activity in the area. Awesome hiking as well. (Read beer and fishing responsibly)

Imagine running into one of these.
