it's about $1425.00 for the base model.... that's like 10x what a megasquirt costs if you build it yourself, and the megasquirt actually has better configurability (Wolf3d for example has 16x16 tables, but configurable only at 125 rpm increments. With the megasquirt you can actually put the rpm bins wherever you want, even though the firmware I'm running is only using 12x12 tables... with interpolation and moveable rpm bins, you have the eqivalent of a much larger table.

Oh yeah, I ran jason's car at WOT to 5k rpms last night on the megasquirt.... and the AFR on the wideband was within 5% of 13.2:1 everywhere except the exact spot where the second set of injectors kicked in (when the second set of injectors kicks in, the pulsewidth of the first set cuts in half, and I guess it takes about .2 seconds for the fuel from the secondary injectors to get to the engine, so there was a .4 second lean spike to about 14.8:1 when the secondaries kicked in, and I'm talking to the author of the code to see if I can get a configurable delay before cutting the pulse-width on the primaries).

It should be interesting to run WOT after the aux ports are working.

Wolf 3D V4 Plus without handheld - retail $1450

The PnP comes with a harness that will plug right into the s5 wiring harness and use the stock sensors AND control the OMP.

**** that. I've had to move cars with no wheels on them, so I go out and find anyone I know with a car with similar bolt pattern and borrow one of thiers...

I moved my old Civic with it's spare, one of it's stock wheels (175-70R13), one alloy off a friend's Corolla (185-60R14), and one off a friend's Geo Metro (165-80R13)...

I tried putting all spares on it and it sat too low to get over speed bumps.

I guess someone thought it'd be nice to have some bent stock steel rims. (Funny enough, they left the only straight and true rim.) With bald, non inspection passing tires.

Wheels are no big thing, So long as they roll.

Like I said, Need to get the **** outta Va... The roads suck, the only roads that are halfway decent (Clifton Rd, Between Centerville and Springfield) are frequently patrolled... And people here can't ******* drive.

I like the S5 t2 16 inch stockers. They look pretty smooth with the stock lines. I think a small lip and a good paintjob will finish the setup just right.

But it's STILL almost 10x more than megasquirt for the cheapest option.

I'd rather spend a little extra time soldering stuff myself then spend that much money.

"i want a flat black 7 with flat black wheels, it'd be call the sRX-7"


I remember when I showed up to the garage with the flat black t2 hood and you guys were like "damn thats cool" "how much for powder coating" the look on some faces when I told them it was rattle can super flat black. Flat black rules the world when you don't give a **** about winning paint job car shows.
